Delivery Charges
Charges
Delivery charges are calculated on the overall weight of your order and will be illustrated during checkout. We believe this to be the fairest way to calculate delivery costs as this is how our carriers charge us.
Deliveries take place between the hours of 8am to 6pm Monday to Friday. We may charge a redelivery fee if no one is available on site to take delivery of the goods.
Please Note:
Certain items are subject to extra carriage costs direct from the manufacturer. In such cases, you will be contacted before your order is processed. Delivery charges to Islands, Highlands and remote areas are subject to quotation and may take longer. Your order will be held until additional delivery charges have been confirmed and agreed.
Failed Deliveries
A 25% restocking fee of the items value will be charged if delivery fails or if the product is returned and is not faulty. Please note that once an order has been placed and despatched the restocking fee will still apply.
Delivery does not include the removal of old units or disposal of packaging materials (pallet, wrapping etc…).
Collection and disposal of old units can be selected on a number of our products, in such cases where this service has been requested you must ensure that the items have been unplugged, disconnected, emptied and made ready for collection outside of the premises.
Estimated Delivery Times
We do our utmost to ensure that products are delivered to you on time and to the estimated delivery dates illustrated on our website. However, DirectShopfittings is not liable for any delays, howsoever caused.
