Delivery Policy
Goods, if they are in-stock, will normally be despatched within 24 hours from receipt and clearance of full payment. SDi will attempt to contact the customer if the items ordered are out of stock in order to advise when the customer might expect them.
Delivery charges depend upon the quantity and type of items ordered. For a UK next day service using for example TNT Couriers, the delivery charge is £17.50 for an item weighing not more than 14 Kg, of size 81 x 26 x 26cm, this being the approximate size and weight of a 4.5 Kg Clegg Impact Soil Tester. Upon receipt of the item at the customer’s address the customer should not sign the courier’s acceptance receipt form unless the customer has opened the package, inspected the items and deemed that they are in a fit and proper state.
No liability is accepted for breakage or fracture of legacy Guide Tube(s) during transportation.
If the package is visibly damaged or if it is suspected of having been damaged the customer should either refuse to accept delivery or the courier delivery person should be asked to thoroughly check the contents in the presence of the customer. Signing for the package as “unchecked” (or some such similar wording) is not satisfactory. If the delivery person refuses to wait whilst the package is opened and inspected or if there is any doubt in relation to the integrity of the package the customer should refuse to accept delivery.
If the customer fails to follow these instructions and a package is signed for as received in good condition and subsequently it is found the goods are damaged it will not be possible to offer compensation.
For smaller items that can be placed into padded bags, such as but not limited to a connecting cable, check ring, clips and fasteners the postage charge will be £8.50.
If we are not informed that goods collected on behalf of us by TNT couriers are not delivered to the destination within a period of 5 days from date of collection no insurance claim can be made for compensation.
Prices are subject to VAT
