4 Price

4.1 The prices payable for Goods that you order are as set out on our website

4.2 You will be required to pay extra for Delivery and it might not be possible for us to deliver to some locations. Our Delivery Charges are set out in our website

4.3 When placing an order for items that are shown as or indicated as out of stock, we shall not liable to cover the cost of additional delivery charges when ordering together with items that are showing in stock. There will be a message displayed at the checkout to advise this. By selecting this you accept the terms, you agree that you may be required to pay additional delivery costs to ship the items when they next become available. If the delivery destination is within our Mainland UK delivery band it may be possible to ship with a future order, at our discretion we may opt to deliver the remaining goods at our cost depending on circumstances for this delivery band only. It is not possible to ship out of stock items at our cost when a partial shipment has already been made for the same order if the delivery destination is outside of the UK Mainland due to increased freight costs.

4.4 We are happy to make amendments to your order; however, the below rules must be followed for same day dispatch to be viable

4.4.1 Your order must be placed before 2 pm for same day dispatch

4.4.2 If you wish to change the address or add a part to an order, you must contact us or place your second order within one hour from the original order

4.4.3 The collective order will not be dispatched same day if: there is a lack of information; the second order is placed after one hour; answers are not provided in a timely manner.

4.4.4 When the additional order is placed, you must clearly state the original order number in the comments to help us find the delivery details. This can be found on your confirmation email or in your Order History. When you select your delivery method it states the weight of the new order, if the combined weight exceeds 20kg, please do not choose 'Collection UK Warehouse' as you will have to pay another delivery and this will delay the shipment. Instead just choose a delivery method like a normal order. However, if the combined weight is less than 20kg, choose 'Collection UK Warehouse' to avoid paying an unnecessary delivery charge
