DELIVERY POLICY

Deliveries

M Rossouw t/a C&PD operates a stringent process for the management of its deliveries to ensure the highest possible levels of customer service are maintained throughout the delivery process.
In addition to this policy please refer to our Terms and Conditions of Sale.
What delivery options are available? In addition to occasional special offers and promotions advertised on the web-site, M Rossouw t/a C&PD offers the following options for delivery timescales:

 

Standard Delivery - £11.21 (2-5 Working Days)

Next Day deliveries are available dependent on the supplying warehouse that the goods are being shipped from. No deliveries are available on a Saturday or Sunday (weekend) due to courier restrictions.

Orders placed before 3.30pm on a working day (except weekends and public bank holidays) will normally be processed that day and be delivered as per the agreed delivery option, provided that no additional security checks are required and providing that all items are in stock and available.

Please note that whilst these are our standard delivery charges, the exact price of shipping may vary depending on the quantity and weight of products being ordered and, occasionally, the dimensions of the product. The total cost of delivery will be calculated after the placing of your order where required. You will then be informed of the total cost and can either accept these or chose a cheaper delivery option or you have the option to cancel your order at this point. M Rossouw t/a C&PD does not currently ship products outside of the UK and any orders shipped to Northern Ireland must have a minimum order value of £3,000.

What happens after an order is placed and before the delivery is received? Once an order has been placed, our customers have visibility, via the My account area, of the progress of their order.

Other Information

On the Delivery of your Products

A signature is required for all orders upon delivery. If the packaging for any goods delivered to you is clearly damaged at the point of delivery you will need to sign for them as such and clearly note the damage on the Proof of Delivery note. Please note, we are unable to accept a claim for damage in-transit for any such goods if the proof of delivery has not been marked up in this manner at the time of delivery. This must be reported to M Rossouw t/a C&PD within 3 days of the date of the delivery.

If you are not available to receive the delivery, the courier will normally leave a card with their contact details. The goods may then be either collected from the local courier depot or arrangements made with the couriers for them to re-deliver. The maximum number of deliveries attempted by the courier company will not normally be more than two which will normally be on consecutive working days. The product will then be returned to MyITbuyer.com.

Any additional delivery attempts will be charged to the customer at the rates as explained under Delivery Options above. The return to M Rossouw t/a C&PD of any products through the customer's failure to accept a delivery will not entitle the Customer to cancel the order or terminate the contract.

Please note that in the unlikely event that you do not receive your goods after 48 hours of us informing you your order has been shipped, or a card from the courier company notifying you of a delivery attempt, please contact the Customer Services team. Failure to do so could result in your products being returned to our supplying warehouse within 5 days of the initial delivery attempt. This could result in a cancelled order with a restocking fee being applied and a deduction of the delivery charge from any refund due. The Company cannot accept any liability for cancelled orders resulting from an unsuccessful delivery attempt.

 

Delivery Amendments

M Rossouw t/a C&PD will dispatch goods to the address which corresponds to the address where the credit or debit card is registered and in the case of a Company Account, to the registered address or additional addresses notified to M Rossouw t/a C&PD at the time that the customer's account was created.
Please note that subsequent orders (after the first order) can, at our discretion, be to an alternative trading address for Customers with Customer Accounts, however, trading addresses must have been provided in advance of opening a Customer Account with M Rossouw t/a C&PD or subsequently notified to M Rossouw t/a C&PD prior to any deliveries taking place. Please note that any subsequent changes to trading addresses may incur a delay in deliveries pending the necessary checks. Once delivery is made, any supplier/manufacturer warranty will normally pass over to you and the contracted delivery is complete.

TNT is the main courier company M Rossouw t/a C&PD use to distribute orders throughout the UK, however, other reputable courier companies may be used which include UPS, as well as some orders being sent via Royal Mails' Special Delivery service.

With an option of several delivery timescales and prices our customers may choose from, M Rossouw t/a C&PD will select the most appropriate method and carrier for delivery of your product which will be determined generally by the timescale which you have selected and the type of products being delivered.
