How your order is delivered
Deliveries are made ‘kerbside’. Handling the goods is the responsibility of the recipient of the goods.

Please note: This applies to flats, tower blocks, high rises etc.
Missing Items
When your order is delivered or when you collect your order from one of our partner branched you will be asked to sign a ‘proof of delivery’ (POD) document. On the document it will clearly state the details of the products and the quantity. Please check the information is correct on the POD and ensure the correct product and quantity before signing. The driver or member of staff (if collecting) will give you a copy of the POD for your records. If you have a dispute regarding products received or quantity we can only investigate further if you noted on the proof of delivery.
Failed Deliveries
If your order arrives as arranged but we’re unable to deliver because there’s nobody home, there’s inadequate help available, the goods are refused, or the order is cancelled whilst in transit (goods are in transit 24 hours before the chosen delivery date) you will be liable for any additional costs incurred for the goods being returned.

14. Our returns and Cancellation Policy
Here at UK Flooring Supplies Online we pride ourselves in supplying top quality goods at great value. However, sometimes projects don’t go to plan or we change our minds. Here’s our jargon-free terms for Returns and Cancellations.
| Cancellation or return of your purchase
If you change your mind you can cancel your order up to the day before delivery, providing the materials ordered are not bespoke/ cut to your specific requirements such as carpet sheet and vinyl sheet. Most products can also be returned to us within 14 days from the day of delivery. Simply advise of your request to return by email and we can advise further. Goods may have to be returned back to us at customer’s expense. Although we will always do what we can, there are some products which we cannot always accept return of such as Luxury vinyl tiles especially where the quantity is small and therefore wouldn’t be able to be matched to an existing batch for resale in a larger quantity. Bespoke items such as vinyl sheet and carpet sheet also cannot be returned. We also cannot accept returns of any adhesive / preparation products in tins or tubs even if unopened- this is due to the fact we cannot guarantee how they have been stored for example at what temperature and this can affect the product. Please be aware that a restocking fee may also apply when returning some products.

If your order arrives with a manufacturing fault, report this within 48 hours and we will make all the necessary arrangements to have the goods replaced without cost to you.
