5.1 We shall despatch your Goods by First Class post or carrier to UK based customers (for Export see Clause 6). Goods are normally despatched on the day of receipt of order. UK Mainland postage and packing, for orders placed under £30.00 (excl. VAT) through all sales channels (website, telephone, fax, email, post) is charged at £5.00 (plus VAT). All orders over £30.00 (excl. VAT) are processed, packed and delivered free of charge to UK Mainland addresses, unless they are over 70kg in weight, in which an exceptional delivery charge of £55 (plus VAT) will be incurred. Please note that our carriers deliver anytime between 7 am - 8 pm unless specialist carrier delivery (see Clause 5.2) is selected. The 7 am earliest delivery time still applies in this case.
5.2. Specialist carrier delivery normally ensures next day delivery of the Goods, if the order is placed before 5pm Monday to Friday. Saturdays, Sundays and UK Bank Holidays are not considered working days by our carrier. Orders placed before 5pm on Saturday will be delivered the following Tuesday.
Exceptions to next day delivery service
There are a few UK addresses, usually in remote locations, where unfortunately we cannot offer a next day delivery service. If you have bought an item, after 4pm, with the next day delivery service but live at one of the following postcodes please allow some extra time for delivery - all orders should arrive within 3 days of leaving the warehouse.

Notwithstanding Clause 7.1, it is your responsibility to check that the Goods delivered are in full working order before they are included in any other product or part or are sold onto a third party. We make no warranty or representation that the Goods are made for any particular purpose and are under no liability whatsoever if the Goods purchased by you do not fit the purposes for which you purchased them for.
5.10. Each delivery of the Goods shall be accompanied by a delivery note detailing the order specification.
