Terms of Trading

Appliancecity.co.uk is a trading name of Bunny Appliance Warehouse Ltd. Please note that customers purchasing from our retail showroom should refer to in store terms of trading. We reserve the right to alter the terms of trading from time to time.

Pricing and Payment

Payments can be made by Visa credit, MasterCard, Maestro and Visa debit cards; you can also pay by bankers draft or BACS Transfer prior to delivery. All goods must be paid for in full 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.

If your billing address and delivery address differ, we will need to validate the information provided with our Identity Verification partner. In addition we will require a faxed or e-mailed copy of a utility bill to verify invoice address details. This will help to protect you and us against fraudulent transactions.

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

Due to our huge warehouse capacity we hold thousands of items in stock for quick delivery, many of which are available on our next day delivery service for a small extra charge. Our standard delivery timescale for stock items to most UK postcodes is 3-5 working days and when we arrange the delivery day we can usually offer you a four hour timeslot and or a pre-call from the driver on the day. Occasionally we have to order items from the manufacturer which can extend the delivery to 7-10 working days but 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 a one-man ground floor delivery service throughout the majority of the UK. This gives us greater control over delivery times and also ensures that our drivers handle your goods with care. Whilst our own drivers are quite happy to wheel your product into an unobstructed room of your 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. If you are receiving a large item such as an American fridge freezer or range cooker please ensure that assistance is available on delivery. Alternatively we can offer a two man delivery which will incur a small extra charge.

Availability

All items are subject to availability. We can only guarantee availability while stocks last. If the goods ordered are unavailable we will contact you and give you the option of a suitable alternative. We will endeavour to deliver goods within the times stated but goods are subject to availability and delay in delivery of goods is sometimes beyond our control. Any delivery dates specified are approximate and we cannot take responsibility for any losses, costs, damages, charges or expenses caused by any delay.

Damages

No claims for visible damage will be accepted after the goods have been signed for as checked. Any visible damage should be reported to our customer service department at the point of delivery. Please do not fit or use a product that is incorrect or different to that which was ordered. Failure to comply with these guidelines will deem that you have accepted the goods and we would be unable to return or replace them.

Faulty Goods

The guarantee will not apply if the fault arises from excessive wear and tear in our reasonable opinion, deliberate damage, accidental damage, negligence, abnormal working conditions, failure to follow manufacturer instructions, misuse or alteration or repair of the goods without manufacturer approval. Claims regarding faulty goods will be subject to the terms and conditions of the manufacturers warranty but this does not affect your statutory rights. If your product appears not to be functioning correctly please first check the manufacturer’s instruction book and follow the fault-finding guide. If a product has been installed the manufacturer will need to send a service engineer to inspect the appliance to establish the nature of the fault. Please remember if a product is found to be installed incorrectly the manufacturer reserves the right to charge for the service call.

When installing a gas appliance a qualified Gas Safe engineer is required, all appliances will need to be installed by a qualified tradesperson, who will have the proper certification.
