We will keep you updated with the progress of your order if the item is on back order. Prices quoted are subject to stock availability. It is your responsibility to check your goods upon delivery for shortages or damage and to make a note of such on the carriers consignment note when you sign for the goods. Any shortage or damage must be reported within 48 hours of taking delivery. If this is not done we are unable to take the matter up with the delivery company.
If the delivery is not completed on the agreed date as a result of no one being available at the delivery address a second delivery charge will be applied. If connection is selected on a domestic appliance this is for connection to adjacent and available services and will not include hard wiring or testing. If you have requested that the old product is to be removed for scrap, this must be disconnected in advance of the delivery of the new appliance. If you have requested installation of a new appliance the appliance must be disconnected in advance of the delivery of the new appliance. If the old appliance is not disconnected we will not be able to remove the old product unless a payment is made for the delivery team to return. The cost for this will depend on your location and the size and weight of the product; it will be a minimum of £50.
Additional security checks may be carried out before your delivery date to ensure our customers are protected from on-line fraud. You may, therefore, be contacted before your delivery so these checks can be carried out.
