Trade Terms & Conditions

Dispatch

Our policy is to fill at least 95% of orders from stock within 3 working days of receiving your order. If the quantity you require is not currently available, or if an item is out of stock, we will inform you. An advice note will be included on your invoice and the goods will be forwarded when they are back in stock

Delivery & Charges

To ensure timely delivery and freedom from damage, we use a next day delivery service for UK mainland deliveries. Delivery time is not predictable but will be before 5.30pm. Small order charges are based on the total order value:

•  Orders below £100.00 ex VAT (after discount): £15.00

• Orders up to £199.99 ex VAT (after discount): £10.00

• Orders over £200.00 ex VAT (after discount): no order charge

Shortages & Non-delivery

Claim for shortage, damage or non-delivery must be notified within 7 days of invoice date

Returns

• Do not accept any package if it appears damaged and please notify us immediately if you have refused the package. It is always advisable to sign goods as unexamined. You must answer any enquiries from the carrier or we can not accept responsibility for compensation. The packing materials must be kept for the carrier's inspection

• Goods will only be accepted for return by prior arrangement and a credit note will only be issued if the goods in question are in fit condition for resale

• Goods returned undamaged within 7 working days of receipt, and capable of resale at the full price, will be refunded at the full invoice value. A credit note will be issued for items that have been returned beyond 7 days. If you need to return any item, please advise us in advance.

Credit terms are subject to status and references. We reserve the right to charge interest on overdue accounts. Payment can be made with a credit card, via BACS or by cheque.  Accounts must be settled within 30 days of the invoice date.  Late payments will incur a charge of 5% on the total order value.

Interest will be charged at the minimum lending rate of National Westminster Bank plus 5% per anum and goods remain the property of George Weil & Sons Ltd, until such time that payment has been received in full.  Title is retained over all goods previously supplied to the value of outstanding invoices
