Please find our full delivery information available on our Delivery and Returns page.


4.1 Unless we agree in writing otherwise, the price quoted for the Goods includes our standard delivery of the Goods to the delivery address agreed by the parties on the mainland of Great Britain. We may make an extra charge to cover any delivery which you request us to make by means other than that which we normally use. We will deliver as near to the intended destination as a safe hard road permits. You will provide at the delivery address adequate and appropriate equipment and support to enable you to take delivery of the Goods.
4.2 Any dates quoted for delivering the Goods are approximate only, and time of delivery is not of the essence. We will not be liable for any delay in delivering the Goods however it is caused.

4.3 If we cannot deliver an Order in full, at our sole discretion we may either:

4.3.1 send you a credit note for the shortfall; or
4.3.2 deliver the Order in instalments and send you an invoice for the actual quantity delivered and deliver the rest of the Order at a later date which we will arrange with you.
4.4 If we are delivering the Goods in instalments, each delivery will form a separate Contract which shall be invoiced and paid for separately. Any delay in delivery in any instalment shall not entitle you to cancel any other instalment.
4.5 You shall not be entitled to reject the Goods if we deliver 5% more or less than the number of Goods ordered but a pro-rata adjustment shall be made to the Order invoice.
4.6 The signature on the delivery note or drop sheet by any person working at the delivery address will be evidence that you have accepted delivery of the products in full.
4.7 If you fail to take delivery of the Goods or fail to give us adequate delivery instructions at the time given for delivery (unless we are at fault or there are circumstances beyond your reasonable control), without affecting any of our rights and any action we may be entitled to take, we may:
4.7.1 store the Goods until we actually deliver them and charge you for the reasonable costs (including insurance) of storage and any costs related to redelivery; or
4.7.2 sell the Goods at the best price we can get and (after deducting all related costs, including without limitation all reasonable storage, insurance and selling expenses) pay you any excess we make over the Contract price or charge you for any shortfall below the Contract price.
4.8 At any time, we can stop making deliveries and invoice you for any Goods we have already delivered to you, no matter what previous agreement or arrangements have been made.

6.5.2 use any payments you have made as we decide;
6.5.3 reduce or cancel any discount and review the discount available to you in the future;

6.5.5 charge you interest (both before and after any judgment) on the amount you have not paid. We will use an annual rate of 5% above National Westminster Bank PLC’s base rate until you pay us in full. Such interest shall accrue on a daily basis from the due date until the date of actual payment of the overdue amount. You shall pay the interest together with any overdue amount.

6.6 If you:
