Price
The price of goods is the price ruling at the date of dispatch. All prices quoted exclude VAT. Where special prices have been quoted in writing, any VAT and carriage will be payable in addition to the prices quoted.

Returns Policy
On delivery of the goods. You will need to check that the consignment is correct as per your order.

To do this please call our customer service line (01204 888465) and speak to your Account Manager or leave a message with relevant details of the problem on our answer phone at weekends or out of office hours.

We regret that discrepancies notified to us outside this period cannot be rectified nor can a credit be given.

Missing or damaged goods will be replaced at full invoice price (carriage free) pending an investigation by us. Replacement goods supplied by us may be credited to your account if the result of the investigation finds your claim to be substantiated. We expect this process to take about 7-10 days.

A handling charge / processing fee of 10% (or �7.50), which ever is the greater) is payable on each item returned.

Force Majeure
Where we are unable to deliver due to circumstances beyond our control we may suspend deliveries while those circumstances subsist and any agreed date
