Delivery Information

Free standard delivery is available on orders over £60 excluding VAT, weighing up to 30kg.

This offer applies only to:

• UK mainland addresses, excluding the Scottish Highlands and Islands
• Products currently held in stock
• Orders that do not require specialist, pallet or machinery delivery

Orders under £60 excluding VAT are subject to a delivery charge of £6.95 plus VAT.

Where possible, orders are dispatched using a fast courier service. Delivery times are estimates and may vary depending on stock availability, the delivery location and the size or weight of the order.

Kerbside Delivery

Unless agreed otherwise in writing, all deliveries are made on a kerbside-only basis.

For heavy machinery, appliances and palletised goods, the customer is responsible for ensuring that suitable access, equipment and personnel are available to safely move the goods from the delivery point into the premises.

Drivers are not responsible for carrying goods inside, unpacking, positioning or installing equipment.

Age-Restricted Products

Proof of age may be required upon delivery of any age-restricted product. The courier may refuse delivery where satisfactory identification cannot be provided.

Split Deliveries

Some orders may be dispatched separately from different warehouses or fulfilment locations. As a result, items from the same order may arrive in more than one delivery.

For any questions regarding your delivery or order status, please contact us at sales@umfl.co.uk.

Special Orders, Machinery and Appliances

Special-order products, bespoke items, machinery and appliances may be subject to a restocking or cancellation charge.

Where an item has been specifically ordered from a supplier or manufacturer for the customer, a restocking charge of up to 30% of the product value may apply.

This charge may cover costs including:

Special-order, bespoke or custom-manufactured products may not be returnable unless they are faulty, damaged or incorrectly supplied.

By placing an order for a special-order or non-stock product, the customer acknowledges and accepts that a restocking charge may apply.

In the event that we have supplied an incorrect item due to a picking or dispatch error, please contact us as soon as possible.

Once the error has been confirmed, we will arrange an appropriate replacement, collection or return.

Please do not return incorrect items without first receiving instructions from us.

All goods should be inspected carefully at the time of delivery.
