3.2 Delivery Times
We will advise you at the time of order of approximate delivery lead times and stock availability.

You will be notified by text and e-mail of your upcoming delivery date at least 24h in advance. It is very important that we are able to get in touch with customers in order to confirm the delivery arrangements, therefore, providing your best contact number is essential. Upon request, our drivers can give you a courtesy call on the day up to 1h prior to arrival.
3.3. Worktops deliveries are usually made by a 2 driver-crew (for updated delivery protocols, please read our Covid-19 Update at the bottom of this page)
3.4. Where worktop deliveries are made by one man only or by our 2 driver-crew the below terms apply.
Due to insurance guidelines and health and safety regulations, all deliveries are made to the nearest ground floor access point. The customer agrees to ensure that someone competent and able-bodied will be available to help with the unloading of the goods as these can be extremely heavy. It is the responsibility of the customer to ensure that the designated helper is fit / suitably strong to help with the delivery. The Company will accordingly not accept any liability for any injury arising from any delivery. It is the Customer’s responsibility to ensure the unloading area and drop off point are suitable. The Company cannot be held liable for any injury to persons unloading the delivery no matter how caused. Where possible the drivers will use appropriate lifting and carrying equipment to aid the delivery process. Special requests may occasionally be accommodated, please contact us to request further information.
Where the Company informs the Customer that the worktops are particularly heavy and require multiple helpers, it is the Customer’s responsibility to provide the correct number of suitable helpers to help carry the worktop.
In order to provide good customer service, drivers are permitted to help carry worktops into a Customer’s house, but this is on the strict understanding that neither The Company nor the delivery driver has any liability whatsoever in attempting to help the Customer. This help is given at the discretion of the driver and forms no part of the contracted delivery service.
Transfer of liability for the worktop passes to the Customer once the worktop is safely out of the delivery vehicle. The Company will not accept any liability for damage to the worktop, the Customer’s property, or any personal injury to the Customer or any third party once removed from the vehicle.
As deliveries can be made by a large van, it is assumed that the delivery address will be accessible. If there is likely to be a problem, e.g. the road is subject to a vehicle weight or width limit or any other restrictions apply please inform us at the time of order.
3.5. Missed deliveries
All deliveries require a signature from a responsible person who is 18 or over. If a courier/driver arrives at your address and is unable to deliver on the arranged delivery date because you are not there or you do not have the help required to offload the stock, or delivery is not possible due to lack of access or offloading space or any other restrictions you will be liable for the re-delivery charge.
3.6. Reporting Damages
Every effort is made to ensure that your goods are delivered in perfect condition. Please inspect your goods immediately upon delivery in the presence of the delivery driver. Any missing or damaged items should be reported to us within 48 hours and the good should be signed for as “damaged” or “missing” on the delivery note. Goods refused on delivery that is found to be undamaged on return to us will incur a return charge. No claims for damage/discrepancies can be made by the Customer after installation, as installation of our materials constitutes acceptance of the product in its current state. Similarly, we will not accept any claims for damages/discrepancies once the Customer has performed any work on the worktops, including cutting, shaping, finishing or oiling. Any work carried out on the worktops constitutes immediate acceptance of the worktops.
3.7. Delayed Deliveries
No liability can be accepted for costs or losses caused by delayed deliveries. Although we always aim to deliver the goods within the agreed time frame occasionally due to matters out of our control deliveries could take slightly longer than anticipated. In such circumstances, you will always be kept informed of the progress of your delivery and we guarantee that delivery will always happen within an acceptable time limit. However, we strongly advise all clients against booking tradesmen for installations or removing existing fixtures and fittings until goods have been received in a satisfactory condition.
3.8. After Delivery
Wood is a natural product that can be affected by heat and humidity. In order to avoid bowing or warping the worktops please read our Storage Guide below. We strongly advise you to read our 2 guides on our “Worktop Care and Maintenance” page where you will find further advice and some very useful tips on worktop aftercare.
Storage: We recommend that all worktops are oiled immediately upon receipt. Installation should be carried out as soon as possible after delivery. However, if storage is necessary the worktops must be laid flat and fully supported in their original packaging. Multiple items should be separated by battens or bearers to allow for air circulation. We strongly advise against prolonged storage as even if customers take precautions it is not unlikely for wooden worktops to bow or warp. Worktops must be stored indoors (not in garages or outbuildings), away from extreme heat (radiators etc) and far away from any recently plastered OR painted areas. Do not store worktops vertically or on edges. Your worktops are dispatched in sound condition and appropriate packaging it is your responsibility to store and maintain worktops correctly.
4. Returns
4.1. In accordance with the Consumer Contracts Regulations customers have 14 days from the day of delivery to return unused, undamaged and unoiled goods. The exception to this right of return is bespoke items. All goods that have been subject to any works by Woodworktops.com may not be returned, including bespoke factory orders (special sizes) and services detailed within our “Bespoke cutting service” page. Bespoke orders cannot be cancelled once work has commenced.
4.2. It is necessary to inform us in writing or by electronic mail within 14 days of receipt of the goods. We can then arrange a collection of the items.
4.3. The collection cost must be paid by the customer, except in instances where the goods supplied are faulty or have been supplied in error. Where applicable a restocking fee will be charged. The maximum restocking fee customers can be charged is 25% of the value of the items.
4.4. A collection charge will be confirmed when the collection is arranged.
4.5. Alternatively, the customer may arrange transportation. The customer must pay all costs involved in transporting the goods back to the warehouse from which they were dispatched. The goods must be insured whilst in transit for the full value.
4.6. If you wish to return any goods you must ensure that they are packaged adequately to protect against damage. If you have opened any boxes or plastic wrapping to examine the product we recommend that you take care with the packaging and try not to damage it as it is specifically designed for the product. If you fail to take reasonable care of the goods before they are returned to us, and this results in damage or deterioration, we will charge accordingly.
4.7. Any refunds for returned items will be processed within 14 days from the date when the items are returned to our warehouse.
