| Standard delivery | £55 |
| American refrigeration, Range Cookers and oversized items | £110 |
Under certain circumstances, special deliveries may have been arranged, and priced, on an individual basis. If these deliveries prove to be failed, the full charge would be levied in order to carry out a re-delivery.
In addition to the above charges, in order to cancel or amend the date of delivery, giving more than 48 hours’ notice, an administrative charge of £15 will be payable.
Major domestic appliances are normally delivered directly from the manufacturers and are usually delivered within 14 Days of you placing your order. American refrigeration and range cookers can take up to 3 weeks to be delivered. If a delivery is going to take longer than we would normally expect you will have the right to cancel the order. We will endeavour to deliver goods within these time periods, but goods are subject to availability and delay in the delivery of goods is frequently in the hands of a third party and often outside our control. Any dates we specify for the delivery of goods are approximations only and we shall not be liable for any losses, costs, damages, charges, or expenses caused by any delay in the delivery of the goods. Some orders may be delivered in more than one drop.
All orders taken are processed with our suppliers within 24 hours, and it may take us a few days to get back to you on delays because we are dependent on how quickly the manufacturer advises us of a stock problem. Should you choose to cancel your order; we will refund any money to you for any goods that are out of stock with the supplier within 7 days of taking your payment.
WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU DO NOT ARRANGE DATES FOR YOUR FITTERS UNTIL THE APPLIANCES HAVE ARRIVED AND HAVE BEEN CHECKED FOR DAMAGE.
We will only deliver goods to the address on the order and goods will not be left without a signature. You are required to make all the necessary arrangements to take delivery of the goods whenever they are tendered for delivery. When your goods arrive, please make sure that they are unpacked and inspected whilst the driver is still present BEFORE signing the delivery note. Claims for goods not checked will not be accepted. This does not affect the guarantee of the product. In the unlikely event of damage occurring during transit, please refuse delivery of the goods and notify us immediately by telephone and in writing via email. Products that are deemed to be faulty cannot be used. If this is the case then an exchange can no longer be made and an engineer will have to call out to repair it. We cannot accept liability for damages or errors if goods have been fitted or if you have had the appliances in your possession for more than 7 days and have failed to notify us in writing if a product has been delivered incomplete.
PLEASE ENSURE THAT YOU KEEP THE ORIGINAL PACKAGING IN CASE YOU HAVE ANY REASON TO RETURN OR EXCHANGE YOUR GOODS.
Please measure access to doorways and stairs to ensure that what you have ordered can be manoeuvred to its destination. The appliance should be able to fit through all doors and access passages, including stairs, without the need to remove, bend or distort any house fixtures or fittings or the appliance itself (i.e. doors, frames etc.). Buyers & Sellers will endeavour to deliver as near as possible to the site as a safe hard road permits. In the event that suitable access is not available, the delivery agent reserves the right to refuse delivery. There may be a further charge for additional man power and each additional floor is subject to a charge. This is provided it doesn’t contravene any Health & Safety regulations. You can of course have your order delivered to the ground floor and arrange for the goods to be taken into your home yourself. We reserve the right to refuse delivery if you have not informed us that delivery should not be made to the ground floor, and we will give you the choice of our leaving the appliances on the ground floor or taking the appliances away and levying a failed delivery charge (see schedule of charges under "Delivery"). In extreme cases, up to 6 people as well as mechanical equipment could be necessary to complete a delivery. Any additional manpower or equipment required for this will be chargeable to the customer. Once again, it is imperative that you note the dimensions of the product and make sure that the item will fit in your home before purchasing.
PLEASE ENSURE THAT YOU KEEP THE ORIGINAL PACKAGING IN CASE YOU HAVE ANY REASON TO RETURN YOUR PURCHASE.
You may cancel your order at any time before booking delivery and without penalty. A full refund will be made within 7 days of your request to cancel.
You may also cancel your order up to 7 working days after the day of delivery and return it under the Consumer Protection (Distance Selling) Regulations 2000, for an exchange or refund. However the following points must be observed:
All goods are sold with full manufacturer warranties. The manufacturer reserves the right to repair the product. You must notify the manufacturer immediately if a product should fail to operate correctly. If it is within 28 days of delivery we will request the manufacturer thereof to send a qualified representative to inspect the item to confirm that the item is faulty or not working to their specification before arranging an exchange of the product. You will need to be available to accept a service call on a week day between the hours of 0800 and 1800. An engineers report is required before a replacement can be considered. This will be at the discretion of the manufacturer.
Please note that once an electrical appliance is installed, the manufacturer would need to send a service engineer to inspect any appliance to ascertain whether or not any fault was due to a product defect or a bad installation. This call is chargeable if the problem has been caused by a bad installation and the engineer finds no mechanical or electrical fault with your product. Remember that you should use a qualified fitter for certain appliances (i.e. gas appliances should only be fitted by someone with the appropriate Gas Safe certification). If a product is returned as faulty, but is not deemed to be faulty by our technicians the product will be returned back to you. This will be done subject to an administration fee of £50 along with the cost of carriage, which can be seen in the schedule we have under "Delivery".
All products supplied are covered by the terms and conditions of the manufacturer's guarantee. This is usually for a period of 12 months, but can be for up to 10 years. If a service call is made whilst a product is under guarantee, the full cost of the service call will be charged to your credit card account if our engineers find no mechanical or electrical fault with your product. This does not affect any statutory rights that you may have. In the event of the manufacturer offering an extended warranty, it is the customer’s responsibility to complete the paperwork and to process this directly with the manufacturer. If this is not done by the customer where required, Buyers & Sellers are not in a position to assist the customer with any extended warranty claims.
Refunds will be made to the same credit card that was used for the transaction, within 7 days of notification.
The risk in the goods shall pass to you, the customer, on arrival at the delivery premises. Damage due to difficult site access or unloading shall be at your risk. When difficult access is encountered, the customer will be asked to sign a disclaimer form. Although every care will be taken during the delivery of the appliance(s), neither the delivery drivers nor Buyers & Sellers can take responsibility for damage to persons, property or the appliance(s) during the delivery, once a disclaimer form has been signed. This does not affect your statutory rights.
None of our prices include installation. However, in some cases, connecting the product to existing pipe work might be included in our price. This will be stated in the product description if applicable. Please note that the service to connect the product to existing pipe work will include no installation or building work. It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure that all fittings and connections are in place, safe and functioning prior to delivery and this may involve arranging for this to be done with a qualified tradesman.
Buyers & Sellers are able to offer a removal of certain old appliances in most post codes for £35 per product. This is provided the products are disconnected and free of excess water and that all fittings have been disconnected prior to our arrival. In the event of the product still being installed, we will be unable to refund the £35 charge, or make an appointment to collect at a later stage. www.recycle-more.co.uk where they can get details of their nearest registered recycling facilities.
Please note that accessories can only be delivered free of charge if they are ordered together with an appliance. Accessories are also all classified as special orders and can therefore not be accepted back from customers once they have been ordered.
If you are buying a gas appliance, you will need a Gas Safe Registered Engineer to fit it for you. This is not a service we can offer, but you can find your nearest Gas Safe registered engineer by clicking on the link Gas Safe Registered Engineer.
