Terms and Conditions
Ordering
Ordering through the website is your best option, this way you get an order confirmation right away, and if there's any mistake, you have time to rectify them before the order is dispatched. Online orders are also free delivery over £75.00 to UK mainland too (there are some exemptions) whilst orders over the phone do NOT qualify for free delivery. Online orders also qualify for next day delivery (99% of the time, there are some exceptions during very busy days) if ordered before 1pm. If you are ordering over the phone, and do not have the correct part numbers, you are responsible for ensuring you are asking for and ordering the correct parts. Phone orders with parts that are incorrect, are your responsibilty to return, as we have many customers asking for incorrect parts and wanting them swapped over for free, this is not possible.
