10.1 Your order will be fulfilled by the estimated delivery date set out in the Dispatch Confirmation, typically 3-10 working days (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.

10.2 Delivery will be completed when we deliver the Products to the address you gave us.

10.3 If no one is available at your address to take delivery, we will leave you a note that the Products have been returned to our premises, in which case, please contact us to rearrange delivery. We reserve the right to levy additional charges in such circumstances.

10.4 The Products will be your responsibility from the completion of delivery.

10.5 You own the Products once we have received payment in full, including any applicable delivery charges.

10.6 Standard delivery is provided free of charge on all orders over £175.00 (ex VAT). Standard delivery will typically be between the hours of 8am – 6pm Monday to Friday and on the nominated pre-arranged day. We reserve the right to charge for delivery on all orders under £175.00 (ex VAT) in value, at our standard rate from time to time. Certain Remote Areas including Scotland and Ireland will be Subject to additional charges, if your order is affected you will be informed immediately and given the opportunity to cancel your order without charge.

10.10 Deliveries will be made on a large lorry or a van; if access is likely to be an issue please notify us in advance and where possible we will make alternative arrangements to help you. Charges will apply if you are not present to receive your order on the agreed date or if there is insufficient help available to offload the goods (delivery is usually made to the ‘kerb side’ due to insurance guidelines). Refused goods will also incur further charges.

10.11 It is your responsibility to advise us of any weight limits, access or parking restrictions in advance. The delivery vehicle must also be able to park without committing a parking offence.

10.12 Please ensure that all goods are thoroughly checked at the point of delivery and that any damaged or missing items are reported immediately in writing to us. Any loss or damage is also to be clearly recorded on the courier’s delivery note.

10.13 We will not accept any delivery notes signed as “Not Inspected” and any such comments will be deemed as signed for in “Good Condition”.

10.14 Any claims for damages and incorrect deliveries must be made in writing within 3 days of the receipt of Products, failing which all claims will be deemed to be waived and absolutely barred.

10.15 We would advise that installers and following trades are not booked until the receipt and acceptance of the Products as Oak Flooring Direct Limited will not be held responsible for any consequential losses whatsoever in this regard.

11. no international delivery

11.1 Unfortunately, we do not deliver to addresses outside the UK.

11.2 You may place an order for Products from outside the UK, but this order must be for delivery to an address in the UK.

12. price of products

12.1 The prices of the Products will be as quoted on our site from time to time. We take all reasonable care to ensure that the prices of Products are correct at the time when the relevant information was entered onto the system. However if we discover an error in the price of Product(s) you ordered, please see clause 12.4 for what happens in this event.

12.2 Prices for our Products may change from time to time, but changes will not affect any order which we have confirmed with a Dispatch Confirmation.

12.3 The price of a Product includes VAT (where applicable) at the applicable current rate chargeable in the UK for the time being. However, if the rate of VAT changes between the date of your order and the date of delivery, we will adjust the VAT you pay, unless you have already paid for the Products in full before the change in VAT takes effect.

12.4 Our site contains a large number of Products. It is always possible that, despite our reasonable efforts, some of the Products on our site may be incorrectly priced. We will normally check prices as part of our dispatch procedures so that:

(a) where the Product's correct price is less than the price stated on our site, we will charge the lower amount when dispatching the Products to you. However, if the pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could have reasonably been recognised by you as a mispricing, we do not have to provide the Products to you at the incorrect (lower) price; and

(b) if the Product's correct price is higher than the price stated on our site, we will contact you in writing as soon as possible to inform you of this error and we will give you the option of continuing to purchase the Product at the correct price or cancelling your order. We will not process your order until we have your instructions. If we are unable to contact you using the contact details you provided during the order process, we will treat the order as cancelled and notify you in writing.
