DAMAGED GOODS

Whilst we do our utmost to ensure your goods arrive in perfect condition, it is possible that a small quantity of goods may arrive broken in transit on the odd occasion. It is important to allow a total of 10% for cuts, wastage and for a small number of potential breakages when ordering. We cannot offer replacements or refunds when the total damage is less than our 7.5% tolerance level for damaged or otherwise unsuitable goods. If your total damage is more than our 7.5% tolerance level we will refund the value of the broken goods over tolerance or arrange for replacements when possible.

It is your responsibility to ensure that your goods are checked before signing the delivery note. If you have received a pallet or crate that is damaged and have chosen to accept the delivery, it is important that you sign the delivery note as “damaged”.

You must notify us of any damage within 24 hours of receipt by emailing [email protected] and we will require digital photographic evidence of the damage to be supplied to us via email or alternatively printed media via the postal system, but you must have notified us within the first 24 hours of receipt.

We will then arrange to collect and replace your item within the usual time scales as indicated in the terms of delivery or offer an alternative remedy. Signing of the delivery note as “unchecked” (or similar wording) does not waive your right of notification to us for damage.

Signing the delivery note as “unchecked” (or similar wording), will be deemed to have been accepted as undamaged.

We cannot accept claims for damaged goods if the courier has obtained a clean signature or if more than 24 hours have passed since delivery.
