In all cases 'Next Day' delivery is subject to cleared funds and stock availability.

If you have ordered IT equipment and have requested add on services such as a Pre Delivery Inspection, fitting of additional memory or a Recovery DVD, your order will be delayed and Next Day Delivery means that your order will be despatched on a premium delivery service when your configuration has been completed.

The majority of orders can be tracked online however for some couriers we are unable to offer you tracking details. If this is the case and your delivery has not arrived by 6pm on the due delivery date, please contact us using our eMessage system. Many customers ask us for an update on delivery time – unfortunately we are unable to provide this information and request that you contact the couriers directly if this is needed.

For most appliances and larger TVs we use two-man delivery teams to ensure that your goods arrive safely in one piece. As part of the high quality service our drivers will deliver your new appliance to the room of your choice, unpack it, allow you time to check for any damage before asking you to sign for the goods and then take all the packaging away with them.

After-Sales Service

We operate a fair and open after-sales service. We firmly believe that setting out our terms clearly rather than burying them in small print is what customers should be able to expect of any business. Everything you need to know about our policy is outlined here.

Over 99% of our orders are handled perfectly – goods are delivered on time and work without fault. However from time to time things do go wrong. Parcels can get misrouted by the couriers, traffic can prevent deliveries arriving on time, manufacturer’s specifications can be inaccurate and items can develop a fault. The real test of an online retailer is not just the availability of good value products, but how well they deal with after sales problems. We aim to offer a service most other online retailers fail to deliver on: Product availability, value, reliable delivery and a clear and fair after-sales service.

Damaged / Missing Items / Wrong Items

Nearly all our orders arrive on time and in the same excellent condition they left our warehouse. However items can get knocked about in transit and whilst often it is only the packaging that is damaged, the products themselves are occasionally damaged. Items also occasionally get misrouted or lost in transit.

If damage is noticed at point of delivery the order can be refused and returned with the driver.
