10. MADE-TO-MEASURE PRODUCTS - Unable to Cancel or Refund due to Delivery delays or customer incorrect measurements
10.1 Some of our products are made to order according to the measurements you provide us such as Bespoke Doors, composite door sets, pre-hung door sets and Spray Finishing Service.
10.2 Please make sure your measurements or finish are correct and accurate before proceeding with any orders. Once Bespoke orders have been signed off with a CAD drawing or confirmed by payment, unfortunately, we cannot accept a cancellation of a Bespoke order or the return of made-to-measure Bespoke Products if the reason for the return is because you provided us with incorrect measurements or are experiencing a delay on the estimated time of arrival. All bespoke items lead time are estimated dates at the time of ordering and are not a confirmed warehouse date.
The effects of the COVID -19 Outbreak have had significant impact on all international trade and on the shipping industry. Shipping companies have cancelled or delayed some routes and ports have been closed across the globe, causing long delays moving product both domestic and overseas. Further disruption has been caused across Europe and in the UK by Brexit. The consequence of this is a huge back log of shipments waiting to arrive in to our country.
You may find information and tips on how to measure in our brochure or on our site, or by contacting us.
11. DELIVERY
11.1 Your order for Products will be fulfilled by the estimated delivery date set out in the Dispatch Confirmation, unless there is an Event Outside Our Control. If we are unable to meet the estimated delivery date because of an Event Outside Our Control, we will contact you with a revised estimated delivery date.

Please note if your order qualifies for free delivery, this only applies to our first attempt at delivery and subsequent attempts will be charged at our usual rates.
11.4 If we are not able to deliver the whole of the ordered Products at one time due to operational reasons or shortage of stock, we will deliver the Products in instalments if required. If you ask us to deliver the Products in instalments, we will charge you extra delivery costs. Each instalment shall constitute a separate contract governed by these Terms. If we are late delivering an instalment or one instalment is faulty, that will not entitle you to cancel any other instalment.
11.5 Where we are unable to deliver the Products because no-one is available when we attempt our first delivery or where you have asked us to postpone the delivery date past that stated in the Dispatch Confirmation (and we have agreed to this) then the Products will be stored by us until such time as you are able to take delivery provided that:
(a) Delivery will be deemed to have taken place on the date being two weeks from the estimated delivery date set out in the Dispatch Confirmation and the Products will be at your risk from that date. This means that you may wish to ensure that you have adequate insurance to cover the Products during this time; and (b) We may charge reasonable storage fees.

You will be required to sign a collection note upon your arrival, so it's important that you bring a signed bank/credit card for signature verification. Always check with us before setting off, to ensure your goods are ready for collection.
11.9 Unfortunately due to insurance restrictions all delivery drivers are only able to deliver items to kerbside unless we have advised otherwise.
