5.7 All goods shall be checked by you or on your behalf upon delivery and any damage or shortages noted on the delivery note or delivery refused. If this is not possible please sign for it as "unchecked" because if you just sign for the goods, you are accepting that the goods have been delivered in good condition. You must also notify us by email within 48 hours of receipt of any missing items or damage. We will not be liable in respect of any damage or shortages not entered on the delivery note.
If you sign for the goods without checking & later find the contents damaged, photographic evidence is required BEFORE we can consider any replacements / refunds.

If, at your request, the carriers do leave the goods without a signature, either at your request or if no-one is at home to sign for the goods, then you must take full responsibility for any subsequent loss, damage or theft of the goods.
You should leave a signed & dated note advising the couriers where to leave the product as the couriers take this as proof of delivery and many will not leave a product without this, despite the instruction being on the order.

Returned products lost in transit will not be refunded and you will have to claim for the loss of your product from your carrier
In certain instances, we may be able to arrange collection of the goods at a cost to you, but this is not always possible. As we use third party transport we will not be held responsible for any unavoidable delays (ie. excess traffic, running out of time) in collection or for the couriers calling on a different day to that originally organised as this is beyond our control. If at all possible, we will inform you as soon as possible of any changes. If you are not in when a the couriers call to collect, they may leave you a card asking you to contact them to rearrange the collection. It is your responsibility to contact them and any delays in contact could result in extra charges.
If the goods are to be collected you must ensure that the goods are packaged in their original packaging or similar in order to avoid any damage to the product in transit as items received back with damages cannot be resold and will therefore not be refunded.
6.4 Once you have notified us that you are cancelling the contract, we will refund or recredit you within 30 days of receiving the item back for any sum that has been paid by you or debited from your credit card for the goods. However, where an order is returned, we reserve the right to retain the cost of the outward carriage, any restocking or handling charges and any return costs that are incurred.
