Dispatch & Delivery of Customer Orders
Power Tools Pro use several methods for delivery of orders getting tools safely to our customer at the earliest opportunity. Royal Mail is used for small lightweight and low value products and road transport logistics for all other tools, we also offer our customers the option to upgrade to a next day service by road, this service is at extra cost and can only be actioned through our Technical Help Line for tools in stock at the time an order is placed.
Royal Mail service is normally used for order values under £25.00, this service takes 2 to 3 days using Royal Mail first class however Power Tools Pro cannot 100% guarantee delivery within the stated time due to circumstances out with our control. All other warehouse stock orders are dispatched within 48hr, normally sooner, using road transport completing the delivery within 5 working days from date of order (UK mainland only); offshore service is available including R.O.I. 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 post office details will be left by Parcelforce informing the customer that by visiting the local post office the customer can uplift their order from the post office by presenting the delivery card with the relevant consignment shipping number; proof of personal identification will be required for a post office uplift. Following an unsuccessful delivery the goods will be held at the local post office for up to 14 days awaiting collection by the customer, no further deliveries will be attempted by the delivery 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 the goods, the customer has the choice to provide Power Tools Pro with a billing/delivery address or an alternative third party business address, no third party private addresses, where a stated contact should be in a position to sign for the delivery of the order. The customer should make all necessary arrangements to take delivery of any trade shipment from the supplier, as this website is classed as a professional tool trade site, company trading conditions apply to all orders therefore no carriage charges will be refunded should the goods remain undelivered, following all steps being taken by the supplier to deliver successfully to the customers instructions. 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 the customer signs off for delivery being received in good transit condition.
