Pricing and Payment:
Payments can be made by Visa, MasterCard, or PayPal. You can also pay by BACS Transfer prior to delivery. All goods must be paid in full and payment cleared at least 24 hours prior to dispatch from our warehouse. Due to fluctuations in exchange rates, we do not accept payment made by credit or debit cards from foreign banks.

We do not provide paper invoices. We will email an order summary to you if you have provided us with an email address.

All prices and products quoted are subject to alteration or withdrawal without notice. All prices include VAT and standard UK mainland delivery unless otherwise stated. VAT is charged at the point where a transaction or service is completed. Any variation in the VAT rate will be re-calculated at the tax point.

Delivery/Collection:
We hold thousands of items in stock for quick delivery, most of which are available for next day delivery. Our delivery timescale for stock items to most UK postcodes is 1-4 working days and once we have agreed the delivery day we can usually offer you a four-hour timeslot and/or you will be contacted by the driver on the day. Occasionally we have to order items from the manufacturer, which can extend the delivery to 5-7 working days. If there are any unforeseen delays, we will be in touch by phone or e-mail to keep you informed. Feel free to contact our sales team to discuss availability prior to placing your order.

We have our own fleet of vehicles operating throughout the majority of the UK and we work closely with a number of excellent transport companies for deliveries outside of our target areas. In the event of the drivers bringing the goods into your room of choice, we cannot be held responsible for any damage incurred. It is the customer’s responsibility to protect any floor coverings to prevent damage while the products are being situated in the property. Please check the dimensions of the product you plan to purchase to ensure that it fits in the space/unit where you plan to site it.

Please let us know if delivery access is restricted due to things such as:

  • Parking permits

All deliveries will be assessed on site to ensure no risks are taken that could result in damage to the product, property, or personal injury. If the room of choice is above ground floor, the use of a lift may be required to complete the delivery.

Please Note:

  • Delivery is only available to mainland UK.

Security
We are aware of the concerns customers have about entering their card details when carrying out a transaction. We have therefore implemented the following measures to ensure that paying via our website is as safe as possible:

  • All your credit card and personal information is encrypted and held on a secure SSL (Secure Socket Layer) server. This protects data during transit, in particular the credit card information, from being intercepted and misused by hackers.
  • We use 128-bit encryption (this technology scrambles the data relating to your account to ensure that your information cannot be read by anyone else) and constantly update our technologies in line with new security measures.
  • Any information transmitted to us is encrypted (scrambled) whilst it is sent over the Internet. When it reaches us, we then encrypt the content so that only authorised personnel can access it. This makes it very difficult for this data to be intercepted.
  • We ask you to enter the CV2 security number from the back of your credit or debit card, which helps to reduce the risk of Internet fraud being carried out.
  • You should ensure that the technology you are using is also secure.
