Delivery:We use a number of couriers to deliver our parcels. The courier used will
depend on what you order and where the items are being delivered to. The
courier used for your order will be made clear to you once your order has been
dispatched. For courier deliveries you will be supplied with tracking
information to enable you to see the most up to date information regarding your
delivery. You will also be supplied with contact details for the carrier who
will be delivering your order
For Small/Medium Products
For Economy (free) delivery, some small items are sent 2nd class
post. For medium products you will be e-mailed with the consignment number and
carrier details so you can track your delivery on-line.
For Large/Very Large Products (pallet
delivery)
You will be e-mailed/telephoned with an arranged delivery date,
you will be given the contact details for the Pallet Company and you can liaise
directly to arrange a suitable time for delivery if date specified is not
suitable.
Express- Same Day Despatch/Next Day Delivery
For orders placed
before midday on a working day, Express Handling ensures that the item(s) will
be picked ahead of other orders and dispatched the same day. For the
majority of mainland UK locations, this means that it will be delivered the
next working day.
For orders placed on
non-working days (weekends and bank holidays), or after 5.00pm on a working
day, Express Handling ensures that the item(s) will be given priority and
dispatched on the following working day on the upgraded carrier service.
All Deliveries
The carriers will require a signature for the goods at the delivery address, so
somebody needs to be there until 7.00pm on the day of delivery. If the delivery
is to a communal building (e.g. a block of flats) you should be aware that the Pallet
Deliveries are made by a single driver, who will not be able to move items
inside the property, they will deliver your order on a pallet to the outside of
your address.
WE
HIGHLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU DO NOT BOOK A PLUMBER UNTIL YOU HAVE RECEIVED THE
GOODS IN SATISFACTORY CONDITION.Returns:PlumbOnline.net upholds a 14
day returns policy, within which time all and any items in perfect working
order will be accepted as returned goods, and the item price will be refunded.
Please note that if returned goods are as advertised by PlumbOnline.net’s
website and staff, and without imperfection, delivery costs will not be
refunded. In addition to this, the return of non-faulty items must be arranged
at the customer’s expense. Please also be aware that any items which are
returned without imperfection will incur a restocking fee of between 25-40%.
This charge is at PlumbOnline.net's discretion and will be deducted from any
refunded payments. If any PlumbOnline.net products are found to be damaged or
faulty on delivery, our policy is to refund the item price and delivery costs
incurred by the customer. However, PlumbOnline.net holds no liability for such
damages after 48 hours of the goods being received. We therefore strongly
suggest that all items are checked at the time of delivery or within 48 hours,
and that PlumbOnline.net are notified immediately if any defects arise, as all
transactional costs will be non-refundable after this period.
