  3. BELL TAILORS is a specialist retailer whose sales are limited in terms of time and stock and all Orders are subject to availability. Due to the nature of our business, we may not have the Goods in stock. Instead, we would have reserved the Goods with our supplier for the duration of the sale and only ordered it from our supplier at the end of the sale and therefore we may have to wait to receive Goods from our suppliers. Consequently, whilst we endeavour to dispatch Goods within the indicated dates, Orders may sometimes take longer and we will advise you of the status where applicable.
  4. Delivery dates outlined in the Product Description are an estimate only. By agreeing to these Conditions you accept that we may not be able to deliver the Goods within the estimate. You hereby agree that the statutory 30-day delivery period does not apply to the Contract.

It is your responsibility to give us the full and correct delivery address details. We are not able to deliver to PO Box numbers and cannot receive amendments to the delivery address once the Order is dispatched.
  7. If you are not present at the time of delivery, a delivery note will be left, stating that the courier will re-attempt delivery at another time, or that the Goods have been left in a secure location outside of the property or with a neighbour. If this is not possible, the Goods will be returned to the courier delivery depot and the driver will attempt to deliver the Goods another time. If the Goods have been returned to the courier depot after three attempts, then the Goods will be returned to our warehouse. The Goods will automatically be returned to BELL TAILORS as undeliverable. We are unable to resend Goods that are returned to us as undeliverable. In that case, we will refund you the value of the Goods ordered.
  8. You must inspect the Goods on delivery and, in the case where Goods have been delivered by carrier, sign the required proof of delivery document or collection acceptance document. A signature on that document will constitute conclusive evidence of receipt by you of the quantity of Goods indicated on that document free from any apparent defect or damage. Any delivery problem with the Goods should be notified to BELL TAILORS’s Customer Care team, within fourteen days of receipt.
  9. Please return any incorrect or defective Goods to BELL TAILORS as soon as possible. Due to its supply process, BELL TAILORS is unable to provide replacements for incorrect or defective Goods or undertake repairs. Subject to a full investigation by us with our supplier and with the courier, BELL TAILORS will provide a full refund for defective, incorrect or missing Goods (return postal charges will only be refunded where the Goods have been found to be wrongly described or defective). This does not affect your statutory cancellation rights.
  10. If any Goods are to be returned, you must return the Goods in good condition, unused and with their original packaging. We reserve the right to reduce a refund on any Goods that are incomplete, damaged or dirtied up to a value of 100% of the Price. Please include with any return of Goods the model cancellation form or the returns form enclosed with the Goods so that BELL TAILORS can identify your Order.
