Terms and Conditions

Online orders will be confirmed via the email address supplied at the time of ordering. This confirmation will include details of the product(s) purchased and payment made, including any delivery costs. You will need to provide a valid E-Mail address and check your E-Mail to receive important information about your order.
If we are unable to supply any items or you are unwilling to accept any unagreed delay that may occur, we will offer an immediate refund as long as the goods have not already been despatched.

Delivery

Although orders are normally despatched within 48 hours of receipt of payment, all orders are subject to availability and we aim to fulfil stocked orders within 7 days (which is extended during holiday periods).

We will deliver to the postcode given on the order. If this is incorrect then additional delivery charges may apply.

There must be access and someone available at the delivery address to sign for the delivery. If there is no one available on the first visit, a card may be left for you to call to re-arrange delivery or to collect the parcel from either the Post office or the courier depot or neighbour, depending on the method of postage we used for your order. Our contract is complete if a neighbour has accepted delivery of the goods or if we have followed your delivery instructions to leave without signature. If the goods are returned by the courier then there would be additional charges to re-send the goods. Please call us if you have any special shipping requirements, which we will write onto the parcel, however we cannot guarantee that the courier will follow the instructions. If in doubt, please choose a delivery address which is normally occupied and accessible. If we are unable to make delivery then a return charge will apply.

Warranty and Returns Policy

This Warranty and Returns Policy does not affect the customers statutory rights under UK law
Please trial our products to ensure they are suitable for your machines or environment. All products are guaranteed against faulty workmanship if you notify us of the fault within 14 days of receipt. Claims for accidental breakages or damage under the guarantee cannot be accepted.
We are confident that you will be completely satisfied with your purchase from us, however, if you wish to return your product we will refund the purchase price less 20% restocking charge and less any carriage charges and bank charges, providing that it is in a re-saleable condition. Please return it to the address below within 14 days from the received date, complete and in suitable packaging. After this period a refund cannot be considered. Please note that a refund will only be made after the goods have arrived and been inspected at our premises, and providing the goods have not been used and are in exactly the same condition. It is your responsibility to ensure goods are returned in good condition and we recommend obtaining proof of delivery. Upon inspection, should the goods show any signs of damage or having been used, we reserve the right to deduct a percentage of the agreed refund amount. We also reserve the right of non-acceptance of the goods, in which no refund will be made at all, should the goods prove not to be re-saleable due to any damage or if they were made to order. In this case, the goods will be returned to you and you will be responsible for any further carriage charges. The goods must be packed in suitable packaging so as to eliminate damage in transit and contain a note with the original order reference number so we can identify the goods.
If you do not accept delivery then a return charge will apply which is likely to be the same or higher than the original delivery charge on the invoice.
In case of any dispute with the transaction, we must retain evidence of the cardholder's authority in order to debit the amount of any payment made via the website. Should you have any questions please telephone Customer Services on: +44 (0) 1905 756061.

The courier will only make one collection attempt even if the collection is a result of our error.

Marks, Dirt or Minor Imperfections

All are laundry bags are sold for the purpose of laundry and a small mark that may be considered an "imperfection" on a garment or wedding dress is not considered to be a defect on a laundry bag intended as a washing aid. Whilst we are not aware that any of our products contain such marks, we have had a situation where once we explained our usual policy on this a customer thought this was a change in or terms. We therefore need to make it clear that such marks do not impact the fitness for purpose and cannot be considered to be a fault or reason for return.

Some bags may be slightly soiled at our warehouse or in transit and we always recommend wash before use.

Returning an item due to a mark, dirt or minor imperfection that does not impact the fitness for purpose would be at the customer's expense unless agreed otherwise.

Returns Address

Please contact us before returning an item and include your original invoice and reason for return. You can make returns to:
Applied Business Techniques Ltd.

Bevere Manor Garden

We reserve the right to change our terms and conditions at any time, which will be updated at this web page. If you have any queries, please contact 01905 756061.
