Can I place an order by phone?

Yes. We can process orders over the phone, please contact us to do so. However, we do advise you place your order online for faster processing.

How long does it take for my order to be processed?
We usually process orders quickly, but please allow up to 24 hours for your order to be processed. However, our lead time for dispatching can vary per product. Please see the product’s page or your basket for specific lead time information.
Can I change my order after it’s been placed?

Please contact us to see if we can change your order. We try to process orders as quickly as possible and therefore it can be difficult to change an order after being placed. If it has been over 24 hours or after we have processed your order, we won’t be able to change it.

How can I cancel my order?

If you need to cancel your order, please contact us immediately. If you wish to cancel within 24 hours of placing your order and before being processed, then orders can be cancelled easily. If you order has already been shipped, then we can’t cancel the order and you will need to raise a return request.

I have cancelled my order. When can I expect my refund?
Once your order has been cancelled and your refund has been processed it can take 3-5 working days to complete. This is the time taken by banks, so unfortunately, we have no control over this timescale.
What do I do if my order has missing, incorrect or faulty items?

Sometimes things can go wrong, and we will work to rectify any issues as quickly as possible. Please contact us immediately and provide as much information as possible, including order number, items in question, and any other relevant information.

Do you offer credit facilities?

Yes, we can offer credit accounts to businesses. However, all applications will be subject to relevant checks before acceptance. To apply for a credit account please contact us. 

Delivery

How much will my delivery cost?

Delivery cost is calculated by the size, weight, and delivery destination of your order, because of this complexity, we can’t provide overall costs and can only offer costs on an order by order basis. To calculate the cost of your delivery, use the shipping quote option in the basket/checkout process. If you would like to place a large order, please contact us and we can give you a custom shipping quote.

How long will delivery of my order take?

Delivery times can vary and are largely dependent on the delivery destination and service. You can find indicative delivery lead times for our standard ground delivery service on our delivery page.

Do you offer expedited delivery services?

Yes. We can offer expedited delivery services, but this is dependent on the size and destination of your order. The services we can offer will be available at checkout. However, please contact us for more information on enhanced delivery services.

What should I do if my order hasn’t been delivered yet?
If it has been longer than the delivery lead time stated when you placed your order, please contact us and we can track the progress of your delivery and rectify any issues.
Can I track the delivery of my order?
Where possible we will provide details for you to track the progress of your delivery. This is available for most courier services but not always for freight deliveries. If you haven’t been provided with any tracking details, then contact us and we will try to help to offer delivery information.
What should I do if my order was damaged in transit?
If the packaging appears damaged, if possible, you should refuse delivery. If delivery refusal isn’t possible then make a note with the carrier when signing for your delivery. Please contact us within 48 hours so we can raise a claim with the carrier. If the packaging looks okay but you have found damaged items inside, please contact us within 15 days of delivery.

Returns

What is your returns policy?
You can review our full returns policy with complete information on the returns page.
How do I return an order?

To begin a return, you must first contact us so we can establish the reasoning and process accordingly. At this stage you will be given an RMA number which is imperative for a return to be accepted and is only valid for 30 days. Then you will need to ship the products back to us by a prepaid and insured carrier method. When received we will process the return and any refunds and/or replacement products. For full details, see our returns page.

What is an RMA number?

An RMA (Return Materials Authorization) number is a reference number used for the returning of products to us. We will not accept any return without one, neither will we process any refunds and/or replacement products. The RMA number allows us to track and store all details about a return and speeds up the returns process. RMA numbers can only be obtained by contacting us and are only valid for 30 days, any products returned after this time will be refused. For more information, see our returns page.

I have returned my order. When can I expect my refund?
Once your return has been received and processed your refund can take 3-5 working days to complete. This is the time taken by banks, unfortunately we have no control over this timescale.
Are there any products I can’t return?

We don’t accept returns for the following products:

  • Product(s) without an RMA number or past 30 days of the RMA number being issued;
  • Custom product(s) incorrectly ordered by the customer;
  • Product(s) that have been installed, used, missing parts, or in any condition that isn’t brand new;
  • Product(s) not in original packaging and not adequately packaged;
  • Product(s) that have been altered in any way from their original state

For more information, see our returns page.

Can I return a custom product?

Unfortunately, we can’t accept returns of custom products if incorrectly ordered by a customer. However, if we have made a mistake then we will accept the return and replace accordingly. For more information, see our returns page.

Why am I being charged a restocking fee?

If you have incorrectly ordered product(s) than any return will be subject to a 25% restocking fee, plus the cost of outbound delivery. This excludes any custom product(s), which aren’t eligible for return. We charge this fee because of the substantial cost we must undertake when accepting a return. For more information, see our returns page.
