Answer: No, but the delivery company needs to be informed that the goods do not need to be signed for upon delivery. If we are not informed of special delivery requirements extra delivery charges may be applied as we must inform the delivery company before collecting the goods. We strongly advise a representative to be at the destination as drivers may encounter problems with cars or other issues surrounding being able to position of the goods in a desired place. Many of these issues are simply resolved with the driver at the time.

Answer: Unfortunately we are unable to do so. Couriers and Hauliers sometimes encounter unforeseen issues, which inevitably lead to delays. Over 90% of our deliveries arrive on the day that has been arranged sometimes though issues out of our control arise. Any enquiries on delivery please do not hesitate to contact us.

Returns/Cancellations
Q. Can I return goods if I don’t like them when they arrive?
Answer: No, due to the nature of our products, we are unable to resell unpacked or previously sold items as we cannot then guarantee that these items have been stored in the correct conditions. Customer safety and satisfaction is vitally important to us, therefore we cannot resell items that may not be 100% and could potentially be of sub-standard safety specifications. In summary, we strongly advise that your measurements and calculations are correct as we will not accept product returns under any circumstances.
Q. What happens if goods are damaged when they arrive to me?
Answer: All damaged goods will be replaced. We must be informed of any breakages within 5 days from receipt of goods, any later than this and it will be too late to claim. For insurance reasons we may ask you to store the goods. We may also need you to send us photographs of the damaged stock. Once goods have been installed we are unable to replace them, we strongly advise all of our customers to check received goods for faults before installation.
Q. What happens when a delivery cannot be made or I am absent when the goods arrive?
Answer: If we cannot make a delivery on a pre-arranged day due to unforeseen circumstances there will be an extra charge of €20 per pallet to re-deliver the goods, if the order is subsequently cancelled this will result in a €60 handling charge and a 15% restocking charge.
