Simply enter your country and delivery postcode and this will provide you with the cost of delivery for your order before proceeding to checkout and entering your billing and delivery details.

If you want your parcel to be left unattended on your premises, please ensure the safe place you choose is protected from the elements and hidden from public view to avoid damage and theft. Please note we cannot be held responsible for the theft or damage of parcels that have been left unattended in accordance with your instructions.

General Delivery Terms and Conditions

We will process your order right away. We will normally despatch your order to you in 1 to 2 business days of receipt. Certain items including thermometers that require calibration tests before will take longer to process.

We will make every effort to ensure goods are delivered in accordance with estimated timescales. However, once the goods have been despatched by us, they are outside of our direct control. We therefore cannot be held responsible for delivery delays and accept no liability for any delay or failure to deliver the products within estimated timescales.

We will not have any responsibility or liability for the non-delivery of any products unless either:

a) all of the products charged for are not delivered, or
b) you give us full details of the shortages within 3 working days of the part delivery.

Our total liability to you for the non-delivery of any products is limited to delivering the products to you within 10 days of you telling us about the non-delivery or, at our option, crediting your account with the value of the products not delivered plus the delivery charge. We reserve the right to substitute a product of equal or higher value in the event of supply difficulties.

If the buyer fails to accept delivery of the goods at a time when they are due to be delivered, a re-delivery charge may be applicable and charged to the buyer.

Claims for non-delivery must be given in writing to us within 28 days of order or notification of despatch of the goods.
