Ordering with us
You are considered to have placed an order with us, by using our online checkout process or by placing an order over the telephone with a member of our sales team. As part of the checkout process you will be given the opportunity to review your order and amend any mistakes. We will send you an order confirmation by email, listing the products you have ordered separately, including each product’s unique specification.
We will confirm your order by email once the deposit payment has been authorised. Once the order is accepted the contract is formed, although we have the right to refuse your order after confirmation if:
- Products/services are unavailable
- Payment has not been authorised
- We are unable to deliver the goods to your location or surcharges applied to delivery costs have not been authorised
- A product or service is priced incorrectly we are not obliged to supply that product or service to you at the stated price
- We will notify you of any pricing errors before arranging delivery with you and in these circumstances we will also notify you of the correct price so that you can decide to cancel or continue with the purchase.
- If you decide not to continue with your order, we will give you a full refund on any amounts paid, in accordance with our cancellations and returns policy. Delivery and Installation
Delivery will take place within the lead time shown on each product page unless otherwise agreed with you or otherwise stated during the initial transaction.
Our delivery service is kerbside drop only. We will park our vehicles as close as possible to the drop off point and unload by hand. If you have any special delivery requirements please call 01603 748507.
If access for delivery is restricted please ensure that you inform us when placing your order or at the very latest prior to despatch of the goods. Failure to do so will result in the delivery being treated as a failed delivery and may result in further charges being applied.
If a delivery is refused at the delivery address and re-requested for another date, we may charge for the second delivery. If you refuse to accept an item that is being delivered for any reason you must notify us immediately with the reason for refusal on 01603 748507 or sales@scottsheds.com.
Scott Sheds Ltd. will not be held responsible for loss of earnings due to failed or delayed delivery.
Once delivered, responsibility for the product(s) lies with you, your agent or the intended recipient or a signed note has been left indicating that delivery can be left unattended. Any loss or damage to the products will be at your own risk.
In case of delivery to certain locations such as hospitals, airports, hotels, ships and other business premises, the signature of any person authorised to accept delivery on behalf of that organisation shall be accepted as proof of delivery of the goods to yourself.
Delivery may be extended if the installation service is chosen. Installations are carried out on weekdays only, typically between the hours of 8am and 5pm. Saturday deliveries can be arranged at an extra cost, or free of charge at our discretion, depending on your location.
We offer an installation service on selected products which includes our in house installation team delivering, unloading and assembling the product, ensuring that it is installed correctly, safely and to the customer’s requirements. You will be notified during the order process if our installation service is available, you will also be made aware of any additional charges this may incur.
Additional Information
By agreeing to the terms and conditions you are also agreeing to accept additional delivery charges should your postcode or area necessitate these as detailed or by notification to you. If you have placed your order online and an additional delivery surcharge is required your order will be placed on hold and you will be contacted to notify you of any additional charges. You can then choose to continue with your order by paying the additional delivery charges or you may cancel your order at that point.
Any times or dates stated on our website or emails regarding delivery are estimates only. We try to deliver all goods within the time frame shown at the time of order or otherwise stated during purchase. We do not accept liability whatsoever for any failure to deliver within that time and offer no compensation for failure to deliver within any given time scale. Orders received on Saturdays, Sundays or public holidays and orders received after 12pm on weekdays, will be processed the next working day. We do not deliver on Sundays or public holidays.
Incorrect personal details may also lead to problems or delays in delivery, so before placing your order please ensure that you have included the full delivery address details, including an accurate postcode of the delivery address and your daytime contact telephone number(s) and an up to date email address so that we can notify you in the event of a delivery problem. If you are not going to be at the property to accept delivery and you wish the goods to be left somewhere at the property please notify us at the earliest convenience in writing (post or email) or leave a signed note on your door to this effect, however, we will always contact you before delivery to give you an opportunity to explain any special instructions.
Base Requirements
A level and solid base suitable for the size of the building must be laid prior to assembly. We suggest either paving slab or concrete as the best base options, however, other bases are available. If on arrival the base is not suitable and the installation service is not possible, we will leave the product with you for you to assemble yourself. An additional delivery and storage charge will be applied if we have to take the product back with us due to failed delivery.
Access
It is the responsibility of the customer to provide free and unobstructed access for product delivery and entry to the fitting site. We recommend that panel sizes are checked to allow access through archways and gates. There may be an additional charge if the building is to be manufactured in smaller pieces to fit through particular access restrictions or if delivery is required a considerable distance from where we can park our vehicles.
It is advised that the customer is present at the time of fitting but not essential, however we would require permission to deliver and install in the customers absence along with detailed instructions of fitting requirements.
Delivery vehicle size is not optional, it is fixed according to product type, weight and height limits. A typical delivery will involve the use of flatbed transit style vans, often accompanied by trailers. If a larger vehicle is required, you will be informed prior to delivery to discuss access requirements. Extra costs may apply.
Order Tracking
You can track your order at any time during the order process. To track your order contact customer services by emailing us on sales@scottsheds.com or telephoning us on 01603 891953, using you’re your order number or in the case of no order number, your surname and address as reference.
