IMPORTANT GUIDELINES – PLEASE READ BEFORE PURCHASING

  1. All goods should be checked upon receipt and notification of any damages or discrepancies should be received within 24-48 hours. If you feel you do not have the ability to check for damages/discrepancies within this window, give us a call or sign for the items as damaged if you can't get through and report any issues to us in writing ASAP but within 14 days. Anything reported beyond this time frame could affect your claim.

  2. Delivery dates are given in good faith but are estimates only and subject to change based on information provided by the manufacturer. The seller shall not be liable to make good any damage or loss whether arising directly or indirectly out of delay in delivery.

  3. Tradespeople and any proprietary work SHOULD NOT be arranged until goods are received and checked for damages or discrepancies. Rubber Duck Bathrooms will not accept liability for any 3rd party costs incurred as a result of any delays in dispatch or incorrect fitments of ordered items (please check measurements prior to ordering to avoid these instances).

  4. Delivery will be made to the nearest hard road point. Carrier staff will generally be as helpful as possible but they will need assistance with heavy loads and unfortunately they are NOT insured to carry goods inside the property. If a courier is helpful enough to bring an item inside the property it is done so at the customers risk and it will be down to the customer to ensure proper floor/wall protection is in place prior to placing the items. Any property damage incurred as a result of bringing an item inside the property will not be covered by Rubber Duck Bathrooms Ltd, the manufacturer that supplied said items nor the courier that delivered them.

  5. Any advice given by our sales team is given in good faith and is based on information provided by the customer at the time of the call and by the manufacturer product info provided. While our team is on hand to offer advice where possible, we cannot know what you require with 100% confidence. If there are questions about an order or fit that would influence a change in your order with us or any other party, we would advise seeking advice from a qualified individual who was familiar with the job at hand and could visualise any factor that would influence a purchasing decision.

  6. Deliveries from the manufacturers we connect to are done so typically between 7 am and 6pm and fulfilled either by their own dedicated service or 3rd party carriers i.e. Royal Mail, Parcel Force, FedEx, UPS, DPD etc. At times deliveries may arrive earlier or later depending on current service demand.

  7. Carrier staff are carrier staff only, they are generally as helpful as reasonably possible but do work to strict timelines and should not be held up while delivering any items. If items are delivered on a pallet service, the pallet is to be disposed of by the customer once the items have been checked for any damage or discrepancies. If items cannot be delivered i.e. due to persons not being present to sign for delivery, any additional delivery charges applied by the manufacturer will be chargeable to the consumer.

  8. The risk of the goods passes to the customer from the time of delivery to the customer or any carrier or agent acting on the customers behalf. If you are leaving the items with a neighbour or another 3rd party, they will need to be notified of the procedures for checking damages/discrepancies and reporting them in the timeframes mentioned.

  9. We operate the standard 28 day UK returns policy. You can cancel your order within 14 days of receipt and then you have another 14 days to return the item to us. For the return of any goods, the return must be accepted by us prior to sending said item or arranging a courier to collect said item. Unwanted items are to be returned to us at your own cost. If items are received after 14 days from confirmation, we will not be able to accept the return and a refund will not be offered.

The refund will be refunded within 30 days (usually 24 hours) to the card used in the initial order process.

A:
 All goods supplied by Rubber Duck Bathrooms Ltd. come with a minimum 12 month manufacturer warranty. Many items have an extended manufacturer warranty, please see the manufacturer terms and conditions for more info on these.
