3.4 For palletised deliveries, the Products will be delivered as close as possible to your front door.

If we or our suppliers are temporarily out of stock, and that information has for any reason not been published at the time of your purchase, we will notify you of this position and you should allow up to 30 days for despatch of the goods, unless there are exceptional circumstances. We will provide estimations about when products are expected back in stock, but this information will only be based on the details received from the supplier at the time and can be affected by logistical delays throughout the supply chain.

3.9 The Products will be at your risk from the time you have accepted the goods in law.

3.10 If you are unable to accept delivery on the day our Courier has agreed with you, please notify our Courier as soon as possible and at least 24 hours ahead of the planned delivery day.
