Shipping and Returns
Unfortunately, due to the unprecedented rise in the cost of fuel, shortage of drivers and Brexit-related factors, our current courier companies (DPD, FedEx, The Pallet Network) have experienced an increase in fuel and labour costs for the past two years. As a result, they have applied various additional surcharges to cover these costs.
As a company we at Plumbing For Less have tried to absorb these costs wherever possible. However, we have come to the unfortunate decision to pass some of these costs to the end user. We apologies once again for this.
DELIVERY
We will make every effort to deliver within the time stated but we will not be liable for any loss caused to you by late delivery.
Incorrect personal details may lead to problems or delays in delivery. Before placing your order, please ensure that you have included full address details so we can notify you in the event of a delivery problem.
It is your responsibility to ensure that you are available to sign for your order on the estimated delivery date specified. From this date, Plumbing For Less Limited must be advised of the loss or non-receipt by the Customer or consignee in writing or by telephone by 5pm on the Next Working Day after delivery or Plumbing For Less Limited will refute the claim. If our courier confirms that a signature was received at the delivery address, we will accept no responsibility for the non-receipt of your order.
We are only able to deliver to addresses within the United Kingdom and it may not be possible to deliver to some locations. Please contact us if you believe that delivery to your address may prove difficult for our courier in any way.
Delivery dates are approximate and no liability whatsoever is accepted in respect of late deliveries. Do not arrange for a installer to install the items until after they have been delivered and checked for discrepancies and to make sure they are undamaged. Carriage cost is non-refundable in case of late delivery as carriage fees are incurred regardless of delivery schedule.
DELIVERY TIMES
Most of standard parcels are delivered via DPD – standard delivery times vary but are generally between 8:00am to 6:00pm Monday to Friday. Optionaly, if you require a 'timed' or Saturday delivery, this may be optional but may incur an extra carriage surcharge.

In certain circumstances due to high volume of parcels being delivered (for example, at Christmas time) the delivery period may be extended to up to 8:30pm.
