Terms of service

Delivery

We deliver to the UK and Northern Ireland Only.

We are pleased to offer free delivery on everything we sell.

The delivery service will vary by product weight. Most orders will be dispatched the same or the next working day by Royal Mail. Valuable or heavy items may be dispatched by a tracked method which will require an adult signature. If you require a different service please contact us before buying. If you need your item to leave the same day it’s a good idea to call before buying to confirm that this is possible - it usually is, but occasionally it may not be. Please note that our post is collected at 15.30 each day (Monday to Friday)

Genuine postal losses are rare in the UK. Experience has shown us that in most cases items are returned to us by the Post Office as uncollected when buyers have reported items as undelivered. Please check with your local delivery office before contacting us about non-delivery. Where items are returned to us we will contact you and a further Postage and Handling charge will be made before items can be redelivered.

Where an item is lost during delivery we will dispatch a replacement product following confirmation from you that you have made some simple checks with your local Royal Mail delivery office. We will report the loss to the carrier who will contact you to confirm the circumstances.

We offer FREE cover against loss or damage in transit for UK buyers. In the event that your item is lost or damaged in the postal system we will replace the item free of charge (see details above). In the event that we are out of stock of that item we will refund your purchase cost. We may ask for photographs of any damage. For missing items you must wait until 10 postal days after dispatch has elapsed before claiming a replacement product. If the Item subsequently turns up we may ask you to return it to us at our cost. A simple Check must be made at your local Royal Mail Sorting Office prior to any claim.

 

Returns

At The Safety Shack we want you to be completely satisfied every time you shop with us. Occasionally though, we know you may want to return items.

Under the United Kingdom's Distance Selling Regulations, you have the right to cancel the contract for the purchase of any of these items within a period of 7 working days, beginning with the day after the day on which the item is delivered.

This applies to all of our products. However, we regret that we cannot accept returns where the item has been unsealed. Otherwise, we can accept returns of complete product, which is unused and in an "as new" condition together with any free gifts or similar.

We are happy to guide you through our Returns Policy and (at our discretion) provide you with a Freepost return label.

Please ensure that your return is made via an insured and tracked service in case of loss or damage in transit.

You can cancel your contract before delivery, and up to 7 working days after delivery. To do this, please e -mail us or write to us.

This Cancellation policy does not affect your rights when we are at fault for example if goods are faulty or inaccurately described.

You do not have to give any reason for cancellation. However, a brief explanation will help us to improve the service we offer to customers in the future.
