Your order constitutes an offer by you to us to buy a Product. All orders are subject to acceptance by us, and we will confirm such acceptance to you by sending you an e-mail that confirms that the Product has been dispatched (the Dispatch Confirmation). The contract between us (Contract) will only be formed when we send you the Dispatch Confirmation. We reserve the right to refuse to accept any order placed.

4. CONSUMER RIGHTS

If any of the Product(s) returned have been assembled or used, you will have 14 days from us giving to you notice in writing, to either collect the Products from our trading address at clause 1.1 above, or to pay for return delivery to you. After 14 days we will dispose of any unclaimed Product(s) without refund of the purchase price.

4.5 You must inform us in writing of any damage or missing parts within 36 hours of delivery. If you fail to comply with this obligation we may have a right of action against you for compensation.

4.6 We do not accept returns for timber products that have cracked or splintered during their natural ageing process without any effect on their structural properties.
4.7 Details of this statutory right, and an explanation of how to exercise it, are provided in the Dispatch Confirmation. This provision does not affect your statutory rights.
5. AVAILABILITY AND DELIVERY
5.1 Your order will be fulfilled by the delivery date set out in the Dispatch Confirmation or, if no delivery date is specified, then within 30 days of the date of the Dispatch Confirmation, unless there are exceptional circumstances. Time for delivery shall not be of the essence.
5.2 Save for auctions that feature our A1 Catalogue Returns items, you may collect items direct from our warehouse situated at the trading address at clause 1.1. If the item you purchased states free postage, collection is free. If the item you purchased states a postage charge is payable, then a warehouse handling fee of 10% is payable on collection.
5.3 Orders are usually dispatched on the date of Dispatch Confirmation when ordered before 12:00 noon. If this is not possible due to high levels of demand, orders will be dispatched the next day or as soon as reasonably possible thereafter. Items delivered by courier are delivered 8:00am to 6:00pm, Monday to Friday (excluding bank holidays). We can supply a consignment number for tracking of your deliveries, however we are unable to specify exact times of delivery. You may inform us on your order of a safe place to leave items upon delivery. We will forward your instructions to the courier, however, any items left at that place will be at your own risk.
5.4 Item stated as ‘next day delivery’ are sent via Citylink, DHL or Fastway Couriers. We accept no responsibility for the late arrival of the Product(s) due to any fault on your part or on the part of the courier. This includes, but is not limited to, where the courier is unable to locate the property, where you have not provided a suitable contact number, the Product(s) being sent to an incorrect depot, where there are high levels of demand or where the order is placed after 12:00 noon. We will not refund the delivery fees paid in any such circumstances.
5.5 Larger items stated as 7 or more days delivery will be dispatched via pallet delivery or private courier, and may require assistance on delivery. A member of staff will contact you to arrange a delivery date within this period. Please allow 1 to 3 working days for delivery from the date of dispatch. If you require a specific delivery date an additional charge is payable in addition to the normal delivery charge.
5.6 Items will be delivered by courier. If the first attempt at delivery is unsuccessful the courier will provide you with a non-delivery card with contact details. You must then contact the courier within 5 days to re-arrange delivery for another suitable working day. If you fail to do so the Product(s) will be returned to us. You will then be charged for the return charge and re-delivery charge. If you do not wish to have the item redelivered you will be refunded the purchase price less all delivery charges and an administration fee of 20% for restocking.
5.7 Where you receive from us, from ebay or from the courier, notice that an order has been dispatched and you do not receive that order or a non-delivery card within two working days of the notice, you must contact us immediately to enable you to organise a re-delivery in accordance with 5.6 above.
5.8 All items must be checked for damage by you before accepting and signing, when delivered by courier. If you are unable to do this, the Products must be signed as ‘possibly damaged’ or refused. Even if the courier will not allow you to check the items please sign underneath your signature with 'possibly danaged'. Failure do do this will make any possible future damage claim invalid as you have signed a legal document to state your item arrived in perfect condition. Please do not sign as ‘unchecked’ as this will invalidate any claim for damage in transit. You must check that the number of items ordered is the same as the number of items delivered by the courier before accepting and signing. We will not be responsible for any missing items or shortages in delivery where you have signed as receiving the number ordered.
6. RISK AND TITLE

7.2 These prices include VAT but exclude delivery costs, which will be added to the total amount due, as set out in each Product listing.
7.3 Prices are liable to change at any time, but changes will not affect orders in respect of which we have already sent you a Dispatch Confirmation.
7.4 Our site contains a large number of Products and it is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the Products listed on our site may be incorrectly priced. We will normally verify prices as part of our dispatch procedures so that, where a Product's correct price is less than our stated price, we will charge the lower amount when dispatching the Product to you. If a Product´s correct price is higher than the price stated on our site, we will normally, at our discretion, either contact you for instructions before dispatching the Product, or reject your order and notify you of such rejection.
7.5 We are under no obligation to provide the Product to you at the incorrect (lower) price, even after we have sent you a Dispatch Confirmation, if the pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could have reasonably been recognised by you as a mis-pricing.

Any credit or debit card must be registered to the delivery address provided otherwise payment cannot be accepted. Cheques, postal orders or banker’s drafts must be accompanied with your ebay user ID, name, contact number and item number to prevent any delay in processing your order.
