Condition of Sale
When the contract is created:
No contract exists between you and us until we send an email to you confirming that we have dispatched the goods you have ordered. The confirmation email constitutes our acceptance of your offer to buy goods from this website. We are not obliged to accept your offer and will refund to you any funds that we may have taken from your payment provider in the event that your offer is not accepted.
Description and price of the goods:
We make every effort to ensure that prices and descriptions of goods shown on our website are accurate at the time you place your order.
The price of the goods for consumers (includes for convenience ancillary costs such as VAT which we may pay on your behalf (if applicable), handling costs and payment processing costs) will be as shown on the checkout page of our website when you placed your order. We will charge you this amount which will be the same as the price shown on the display page.
You must also pay a delivery charge for the goods as indicated on our website at the checkout page.
If you order products from our site for delivery outside the UK, they may be subject to import duties and taxes which are levied when the delivery reaches your specified destination. We have no control over such charges and cannot advise on the likely amount you could be charged. We advise you to check your local customs office for further information before placing your order.
Prices, offers and products are subject to availability and may change before (but not after) we accept your order. If something becomes unavailable we may offer you an alternative. If you decide not to accept the alternative goods, you will not have to pay to return them to us.
In the unlikely event that the price shown on the checkout page is wrong, and we discover this before accepting your order, we are not required to sell the goods to you at the price shown. We always try and ensure that the prices of goods shown on our website are accurate, but occasionally genuine errors may occur. If we discover an error in the price of the goods that you have ordered we will let you know as soon as possible and give you the option of reconfirming your order at the correct price or cancelling it. If you cancel your order and you have already paid for the goods, then you will receive a full refund.
Payment Methods
We accept Visa, Mastercard, Solo and Maestro cards as well as PayPal. We reserve the right to refuse to accept payment from any of these methods at our sole discretion and without explanation.
A transaction whose payment is processed through PayPal may incur a delayed dispatched time from that indicated below for a variety of reasons including receiving notification that your funds have cleared.
Where the PayPal dispute resolution is activated or you seek a chargeback through your Credit Card company you may not order any additional items from us until, the matter is resolved.
Trade Buyers/Bulk Orders
We reserve the right to charge trade buyer/bulk orders the cost of delivery. You will be informed of this cost prior to entering into the contract.
For trade buyers there is no automatic right of return and the contract is deemed to have been fulfilled once you have been notified of the dispatch of your order.
Lost in Post
Occasionally an item may be lost in the post. Lost in post is deemed to have occurred 15 days after the dispatch date. You will be asked to complete a Postal Claim Form, a false declaration may result in criminal or civil proceedings been taken against you. Your claim cannot be processed until we receive the signed form.
For the avoidance of doubt you may not order any additional items from us until, the matter is resolved.
If you are offered free delivery and opt not to accept a tracked order (which you will be charged for) and have received a Confirmation of Dispatch from our Independent Postal Sorting service then if your item is lost in the post you may not be entitled to a refund or replacement of the item from us. We will deliver the goods that you order to the delivery address you give when you place your order. It is your responsibility to check these details carefully, failure to do so may result in you not been entitled to a refund or replacement from us.
We reserve the right to charge for the cost of sending a replacement.
In the event of a lost or damaged order, we reserve the right to either refund the price of the item to you or send a replacement item. This decision shall be entirely at our discretion. For the avoidance of doubt, you agree to waive any right you may have to specific performance in relation to your contract with us.
Delivery
We ship via UK parcel couriers and Royal Mail using at least 1st Class Post. Our shipments are sorted by an independent sorting house who will confirm to you that the item has been shipped. Where goods are sent using tracked or recorded mail then you will need to be available to sign for the package or to collect the goods from the post office.
We will deliver the goods that you order to the delivery address you give when you place your order. Delivery is made to the address and not to the person named in the delivery address.
We aim to arrange shipping of all “in stock” items within 24 hours of receiving your order except for those items that have been paid through PayPal, see above. Your order may be delayed if the item is not in stock with our suppliers. Some items may be unavailable and the current stock status is approximate. We are not able to supply dates our suppliers may get an item in stock. Same day shipping will only occur if your order is placed before 06:00hrs and we have all your ordered items in stock at our warehouse.
Delivery times are calculated in working days – i.e. Monday to Friday inclusive. If you order after 06:00hrs please calculate your delivery time as if your order had been placed the following working day. In the case of bank holidays, please allow an extra two working days.
Once we accept your order, we will endeavour to deliver the goods within the delivery period that applies to the option you have chosen. If we do not deliver within the applicable delivery period and you have given us the correct full delivery address then you may apply for a refund of the delivery charge (this does not apply to goods delivered free of charge). The expected delivery period is specific to the country delivery address and the expected times can be found at the bottom of this page.
Right to Cancel
You may cancel the contract by notifying us no later than 7 working days after we deliver the goods that you are cancelling the contract. We strongly recommend that you do this by using our on-line returns tool – see our website for details. This right may not apply to trade/bulk buyers see above.
Please contact us via email customerservices@eggshellonline.co.uk or write to PC Globe Ltd, Unit 4, The Quoin Estate, 73 Marlborough Road, Lancing, BN15 8AD, United Kingdom.
You may not cancel your contract with us where the product has been unsealed by you, registered with a third party such as the manufacturer or in any way dismantled or assembled the product and/or its accompanying package in a manner that prevents the resale of the item in as “new” condition.
If you cancel the contract, you must take reasonable care of the goods from the time you receive them until you return them to us. If you cancel the contract you must return the goods to us at your own expense.
If you cancel the contract and do not return the goods as required, we may charge you our direct costs of recovering the goods. If you cancel the the contract during the delivery of the goods an RTS (Return to stock) charge of 20% applies. P&P is non-refundable.
Where the delivery cost of the dispatched order was not explicitly paid by you as shown on your invoice then the cost of the delivery will be deducted from the exchange or credit note or refund. The minimum deduction is £1.99.
Your statutory rights are not affected.
Return/Refunds
Within 7 days after delivery, if there is a fault/damage with your product we will offer a prompt replacement or replacement parts. Damages to any parts occuring during transport will be replaced part by part on the evidence provided by pictures via Email. All our products are made from many wooden parts so there may be minor differences in wood grain and chippings/marks.Due to the weight of each box and additional handling throughout the delivery process these wooden parts move and can cause marks, splits or some minor damages which we are happy to replace if rendered as unusable. If parts are not available direclty from our warehouse we will order these in or a partial refund will be offered.
To qualify for a replacement or replacement part the product must inspected by you immediately once received within 24 hours. Failure to inspect the delivery within 24 hours and written confirmation by email will result in rejection of replacement or replacement parts.
Items need to be returned at buyers cost within 7 days after delivery using our Returns process . You must follow the procedure that will determine if the item can be returned, if so you will be provided with a RMA number. If your return does not contain the RMA number and in the form prescribed during the returns process your item may not be processed and you may lose your right to a refund. You are liable for the safe return of the item, we recommend that you return the item using tracked and/or recorded mail.
We test every item returned to us, once received it will be inspected and tested by our test centre. A replacement will be authorised should a fault be found. In the event of a replacement not being available an alternative product will be offered or a credit note issued, in certain circumstances a full refund will be offered.
If no fault can be found by our test centre, the item will be returned to you at your cost plus an administration charge not exceeding 10% of the original net price paid by you for the item. This charge will need to be paid prior to dispatch. In such circumstances you will not be refunded for the cost of return. If you decline to pay these costs within 30 days of been notified that there was no fault and the resultant cost of return we may dispose of the items as we see fit.
Unwanted or unsuitable purchases can be returned at the buyers expense – in its original packaging – as long as the item has not been opened or used.. A 25% restocking fee applies to opened items. Shipping charges are not refundable.
