Pricing Structures & Payment Terms
The price for any machine or accessory shown on website www.PowerToolsUK.co.uk is the price the supplier initially offers the customer the goods at, and is subject to additional carriage charges and value added tax, at the appropriate rate. Exceptions to this standard working practice may occur due to the following circumstances: every effort is made by the supplier to offer the best possible and correct price at all times on the website, however even with the best intentions errors may occur from time to time. Should this unfortunate situation arise at the review stage of any customer order request, the customer will be contacted at the earliest opportunity and given the choice to cancel the initial order request or proceed at the corrected price. Should the supplier, Power Tools UK, be unable to raise the customer to discuss this matter or receive no decision regarding price the order will be deemed to be cancelled 5 working days following date of order, with a full and complete refund being made within 7 working days of cancellation. Actioning an order request through our website authorises the supplier to debit the customers credit or debit card for the total amount of the order, full payment including carriage charges and V.A.T. at the current rate where appropriate, the total value must be received before any customer order request can be accepted and actioned through for shipping.
Processing Customer Orders
Handling customer orders: all orders received before 1.30 p.m. (Monday Friday, excluding bank holidays), will be dispatched same day (Subject obviously to stock availability and/or clearance of payment). Orders taken over the weekend will be despatched on the following Monday (excluding bank holidays). The supplier will endeavour to despatch orders for non-stock items within 5 to 7 working days of order. If there should be any delay Power Tools UK will contact the customer with as accurate delivery as possible. Should the order be sent by Royal Mail we would ask that the customer allow seven working days before calling to check the progress, due to clearance time schedules through the banking system.
Despatching & Delivery of Customer Orders
To despatch customer orders Power Tools UK offer two separate methods of delivering the goods safely and effectively to the customer, using Road Transport and Royal Mail, with the option to upgrade to an AM delivery service by road, this service is only available through our Technical Help Line, morning deliveries are by road transport only and carry an extra charge to the customer.
Royal Mail service is normally used for order values under £50.00, this service takes approximately 2 to 3 days to deliver using the Royal Mail first class service; however the supplier cannot guarantee 100% delivery within the stated time. All other orders are despatched using 24/48hr road transport service (UK mainland only); offshore service is available including Southern Ireland at extra cost. Road transport deliveries must be signed for on delivery no shipments are left without a signature, should the delivery not be possible at the customers designated delivery address, a card with local contact details will be left by the courier informing the customer that by contacting the local depot a further delivery may be arranged at a more suitable time. Alternatively the customer may decide to uplift the order from the local courier depot by presenting the delivery card with the relevant consignment shipping number; proof of personal identification will be required for depot uplift. Following a second unsuccessful delivery the goods will be held at the local depot for 5 days awaiting uplift by the customer, no further deliveries will be attempted by the courier company on behalf of the supplier; failure to uplift by the customer will result on the goods being returned to the supplier.
The delivery charge shown on the customer invoice is only a contribution to the cost of shipping & packing, as stated road transport delivery requires a signature for receipt of your parcel, the customer has the choice to provide Power Tools UK with a private or third party business address where a stated contact should be in a position to sign for the delivery of your order. The customer should make all necessary arrangements to take delivery of any shipment from the supplier, as no carriage charge will be refunded should the goods remain undelivered, following all steps being taken by the supplier to deliver. The risk for the goods supplied to the customer from the supplier passes to the customer in that the customer is responsible for loss, damage or deterioration of the goods from the time and date of the delivery.
Warranty
All machines supplied by Power Tools UK Limited are first generation UK sourced machines with full UK Warranties, and are normally covered by at least twelve months full manufacturers’ warranty. During the warranty period should any manufacturing or material fault occur the machine will be repaired at any official manufacturers repair station throughout the UK, and at the suppliers discretion may be replaced during the warranty period. Should for any reason a machine require attention the original invoice must be presented as proof of purchase, should this not be presented to a repair station the supplier cannot be held responsible for warranty work being refused, and a charge imposed. Please note most importantly that the warranty for power tools does not cover accidental damage, misuse and or abuse of the machine or fair wear and tear and the granting of any warranty repair is totally at the discretion of the repair station.
