Shipping & Returns

All goods will require a signature on receipt of delivery and you are required to check the goods yourself at the time of delivery. Your signature on the delivery note will mean that the goods have been received in good condition. No claim can be accepted once the goods have been signed for in good condition. We do not accept goods being signed for 'unchecked' or 'not inspected' etc. All goods are despatched in perfect condition and should be received in the same condition but if they are not they should be refused at the time of delivery and handed back to the courier. If someone is to sign for the goods on your behalf you are still responsible for the delivery and the goods must be checked in the same manner as if you were receiving the goods yourself. You must inform us of any specific delivery instructions as deliveries are made during working hours and a charge is payable for failed deliveries. We cannot except any claim whatsoever under any circumstance if the goods are not checked at the time of the delivery and the courier has not been informed. In the event that goods are damaged written confirmation from the courier must be obtained at the time of delivery.

If you require goods to be delivered to a different address other than your home ie work or next door neighbour, please let us know at the time the order is placed.

We tend to use Parcel Force, TNT, ANC or an International Carrier. If you are not in when they call then they will leave a card detailing how to arrange receipt of your goods. Lighting items that require the Special Courier Service will only be despatched if someone is at the destination address to take delivery and no goods will be left unsigned for.
