SHIPPING POLICY

Shipping

We will arrange for shipment or delivery of the products to you at any address throughout the United States. We cannot deliver to a Post Office Box or APO/FPO addresses. If you order large or bulky items, you must provide a delivery address where someone will be available to sign for the receipt of your products.

Delivery time and price may vary depending on your location, the product that you have purchased, available shipping options, and shipping options selected by you. If you order large or bulky items, we will contact you to arrange delivery and an estimated delivery date.

The products we sell are often big and heavy things to lift, so there will be certain occasions when we may be unable to get a product into your property. Lots of steps, narrow corridors, radiators and restricted parking are all things that may hinder our ability to deliver. In these situations, we may be able to offer delivery to the nearest point possible e.g. your garage, so you can make arrangements to get the Product in. If not, we will attempt another delivery date or give you a full refund. It is the responsibility of the homeowner to verify fit and we will not take responsibility for products that will, upon arrival, not fit through a door, hallway, etc. Please be advised, if a product needs to be exchanged or returned due to a fit issue, there will be a charge to ship the product back to us and to restock it. Customers should carefully consider the accessibility of their space when making their purchase. Occasionally something will happen out of our control such as floods, snow or other adverse weather conditions or things like sporting events which result in closed roads. We will do what we can, but disclaim any liability if delivery cannot be fulfilled due to reasons beyond our control.

Delivery will be to the US address specified in your order. If your order is one where someone must be available to sign for receipt and no one is available at the time of delivery, we will leave you a note that the products have been returned to our depot, in which case, please contact us to rearrange delivery. If no one is present to receive the product, it will be left at your address.

Delivery of an order shall be completed and all risk in the products (including risk of loss and/or damage to the products) shall pass to you when they are delivered to the address you gave us.

We shall be under no liability for any delay or failure to deliver products if the delay or failure is caused by circumstances beyond our control. If we are unable to meet the estimated delivery date because of an event outside our control, we will contact you with a revised estimated delivery date.

You agree that any delivery confirmation provided by the carrier is deemed sufficient proof of delivery to you, even without a signature.

Additional Services

The charges (if any) for additional services are clearly laid out throughout the order process and will be displayed on the checkout page when you place your order.

Unfortunately we are not able to offer installation or removal at this stage.

If we are replacing your old appliance, please disconnect, defrost if necessary and ensure all water, laundry and other personal items are removed from the appliance before we arrive.
