When The Delivery Arrives

Delivery will be deemed as successfully made once the product has arrived at the address specified so long as the product has been signed for or a signed note by the buyer has been left to say that the goods can be left unsigned for. Where goods are required to be signed for, these must be signed for by an adult aged 18 years or more. Products will be deemed your responsibility once they have been received by you, your agent or the intended recipient or a signed note has been left indicating that delivery can be left unattended. Any loss or damage to the products shall then be at your own risk.

In case of delivery to certain locations such as hospitals, airports, hotels, ships and other business premises, the signature of any person authorised to accept delivery on behalf of the organisation shall be accepted as proof of delivery.

Please note if access for delivery is restricted please ensure that you inform us when placing your order or in all circumstances prior to dispatch. Failure to do so will result in the delivery being treated as a failed delivery if access is unavailable and may result in a re-delivery charge being applied. If the order is subsequently cancelled for a refund (within the specified time limit) this will be treated as a cancellation under the applicable Regulations (see contract cancellation)  and the original delivery charge will be taken from any refund issued. Should a delivery be refused at the delivery address, and re-requested for another date, we may, at our discretion charge for the second delivery since we met our delivery obligations with the initial delivery attempt. If you refuse an item that is being delivered for any reason when it arrives you must notify us immediately that you have refused delivery and the reason for refusal to sales@gardenfurnituredepartment.com. failure to notify us may result in the original delivery charge becoming payable. If delivery is refused because it is decided you no longer require the goods and the order is subsequently cancelled and a refund given the original delivery charge will be taken from the refund before it is issued.

You should notify us of the shortages within 48 hours of delivery. (Please see Packages/Parcels Missing on delivery section for further information)
