    Terms & Conditions

    We are committed to delivering the highest quality shelving to you at competitive prices, supported by excellent customer service. Our Terms & Conditions are outlined below. If you have any queries or are uncertain about any aspect of your purchase from The Practical Shelf Company, please feel free to give us a call; we’ll be happy to help.

    The following terms and conditions apply to all transactions from practicalshelf.co.uk. The placement of an order indicates your acceptance of these terms and conditions. Please read them carefully and print a copy for future reference. These terms and conditions do not affect your statutory rights.

    Deliveries

    We will endeavour to deliver goods within the times stated but goods are subject to availability and delay in delivery of goods is sometimes outside our control. All of our bespoke shelving is individually made in our workshop by our small team of professionals; delays do sometimes happen! Please bear this in mind when placing your order to avoid disappointment. If using our expedited delivery service, we will aim to dispatch your order within 3- 5 working days of your order being placed. Should we fail to dispatch your order within this time, we will refund the surcharge for expedited delivery and deliver your order as a standard delivery.

    We use only reputable, national couriers, but any dates we specify for the delivery of the goods are approximate and we shall not be liable for any losses, costs, damages, charges, or expenses caused by any delay in the delivery of the goods. Where expedited shipping has been selected, the excess charge will only be refunded when an order has not been dispatched within stated lead times; we are not able to refund the excess when the delay is due to courier failure.

    Couriers may attempt up to 3 deliveries; if goods have not been received and are then returned to us by the courier, a further delivery charge will be incurred for a re-delivery. Any variations to our standard delivery service (e.g Saturdays, UK Highlands and Islands, international or timed deliveries) will incur charges in addition to our standard delivery charge.

    Modifications to your Order

    If you request modifications to your order, such as partial centimetre dimensions, colour-matching or other modifications outside our standard manufacturing methods, these must be notified in writing and will be implemented at the discretion of The Practical Shelf Company. Where such modifications are judged to not be possible or practical, the standard order will be manufactured and delivered. Modifications to your order, where possible and practical, are carried out on a goodwill basis, and do not form part of the contract of sale.

    Please note that all of our shelves are individually made in our workshop and a few millimeters of variation is to be expected; please allow for this when placing your order. The Practical Shelf Company reserves the right to adjust / alter the design and materials used in the manufacture of shelving at any time.

    If you have any questions about this, please contact The Practical Shelf Company for clarification.

    Risk

    As soon as we have delivered the goods to your door you will be responsible for them. From the time of receipted delivery of the goods, any loss or damage to the goods shall be at your own risk. Any transit damage to the goods, shortages or incorrect goods supplied must be noted on the delivery consignment note at the time of delivery.

    Any damage to shelving as a result of, or following, installation will be at your own risk and responsibility. The Practical Shelf Company cannot accept any responsibility for any problems experienced during the installation of your shelves.

    Time Limitation for Notification of Claims

    Damage in transit: If goods arrive in a damaged condition you must make a note on the carrier’s delivery consignment note. It will then be your responsibility to sign for the item as damaged and inform us within 48 hours after delivery. You will also need to take photographs of the external packaging and any damages to your shelving.

    Shortages: It is your responsibility to sign for the correct number of packages as shown on the carrier’s delivery consignment note. Any shortages must be noted on the consignment note and it will be your responsibility to notify us within 48 hours after delivery.

    Non-Deliveries: We will not accept liability for goods lost in transit unless we are notified within 48 hours from the expected delivery date.

    We use a nationwide courier service for all our deliveries. It is therefore very important that you check the goods prior to accepting delivery. By signing for the goods you are confirming that all items have been delivered undamaged. No claims for damaged goods will be accepted once you have signed for the order.
