We are unable to guarantee next working day delivery on telephone orders, in most cases delivery is within two days. All value added offers and extra discounts are not available to orders placed via the telephone.

Payment Scoring Our payment service providers not only check your card to ensure that it is registered to the invoice address provided, but also provide a fraud score, this gives a risk assessment on the card, the name used, the address & email address plus many other factors. We reserve the right to place high value orders on hold for fraud score results, or decline the order, if we decline we will credit the card:*

• For orders that do not match the address or postcode we will void or credit the order within 24 hours.
• For high fraud score returns we will normally credit the card within 24 hours.
• *If a transaction triggers unusual scoring we may hold the payment for up to 30 days, this can give banks time to ensure the card is not being used fraudulently. You will be notified by email should your payment be on hold or void for any reason.

Shipping And Handling

We normally expect your order to be delivered the next working day within UK Mainland, for the Highland of Scotland including the Shetland islands and Northern Ireland you should allow 2-3 working days. (Monday to Friday). Saturday deliveries are available at an extra surcharge and are always sent on a pre 12 delivery. Any orders placed after 3pm Friday are processed the same day, however you should not expect delivery until the following Tuesday.

*Free delivery over £60 is only available to UK Mainland, this does include all of Scotland. Although other areas do have a shipping charge they are at a discounted rate when spending £60 or more. Full details on our carriage charges and delivery areas can be found in our delivery section.

Please note that if you wish to cancel your order you must notify us immediately, as we do ship items on the same day of receiving the order, the fastest method of contacting us to cancel is here. If your order consists of more than one product, and we are out of stock in part, we will notify you, however we may choose to ship part of your order separately, to minimise the inconvenience to you, you will not be charged extra shipping if we choose to ship your orders separately.

Whilst we aim to have your order delivered on the next working day when placed before 3pm Monday to Friday we can not be responsible for delays and can not offer any form of compensation should your order not arrive, please do not arrange for any work to be carried out until you have received your goods.

Tax Charges

For orders made from the UK, the standard rate of 20% VAT is added, we display both excluding and including Vat prices on each product. If you are in an area that does not pay Vat, there will be a box to enter your postcode, if correct it will deduct the Vat rate from your order total.
