Order Cut-Off Times
What is the order cut-off time?
For eligible products, orders placed before 1pm Monday–Friday are usually processed for same-day dispatch or next-working-day delivery where that option is available.
Orders placed after the cut-off time, on weekends or on bank holidays are normally processed on the next working day.
Does every product qualify for next-working-day delivery?
Not every product will qualify. Delivery availability may depend on stock, supplier location, product size, delivery postcode and courier availability.
Please check the product page and checkout for the most accurate delivery information before placing your order.
What happens if I order after 1pm?
Orders placed after 1pm are usually processed the next working day. We still aim to dispatch quickly, but next-working-day delivery may no longer be available for that order.
Tracking & Updates
Will I receive tracking information?
Yes. Where tracking is available, you will receive delivery updates once your order has been processed and dispatched.
Tracking updates normally show when your order is confirmed, dispatched, out for delivery and delivered.
Where can I check my order status?
Registered customers can view their order history inside their ProTrade account area. You can also check your order confirmation email for delivery and tracking details.
What should I do if tracking has not updated?
Courier tracking can sometimes take time to update after dispatch. If there has been no movement for more than one working day after dispatch, contact us with your order number and we will investigate.
Returns Policy
We want returns to be clear and straightforward. Eligible items can usually be returned within 30 days, provided they are unused, complete and in their original condition.
Simple 30-Day Returns
If you change your mind, eligible unused and unopened products can usually be returned within 30 days.
How to Return
Contact us first with your order number, item details and reason for return. We will confirm the next steps.
Faulty or Damaged Items
Tell us as soon as possible. Photos help us resolve damaged, missing or faulty item claims faster.
What condition must returned items be in?
Returned items should be unused, uninstalled, complete and in their original packaging. Please include all parts, instructions and accessories supplied with the product.
Who pays for return postage?
For change-of-mind or incorrectly ordered items, the customer is usually responsible for return postage. If the item is faulty, damaged or incorrect due to our error, we will advise the appropriate resolution.
How long does a refund take?
Once your return has been received and inspected, approved refunds are normally processed back to the original payment method. Your bank or payment provider may then take additional time to show the refund.
Warranty
Do your products include warranties?
Many products carry manufacturer warranties or product guarantees. Warranty periods and conditions vary by product, brand and category.
Please check the individual product page for specific warranty information. If you are unsure, contact us before ordering and we can help confirm the available details.
What is not usually covered by warranty?
Warranty cover usually excludes incorrect installation, accidental damage, misuse, wear and tear, poor maintenance or damage caused by incompatible systems, water conditions or third-party work.
Professional installation and following the manufacturer instructions are always recommended.
Trade Terms
Do delivery and returns terms differ for trade customers?
Trade-specific terms may apply depending on order type, quantity, product category, special-order status and the nature of the buyer. Bulk, clearance, special-order and made-to-measure items may have different return conditions.
Where a product or order has specific terms, we will aim to make this clear before or during the order process.
Can I return bulk orders?
Bulk-order returns are reviewed on a case-by-case basis. Some bulk orders may be subject to restocking fees, return approval or supplier-specific terms.
If you are placing a high-volume order, we recommend confirming suitability, sizing and product specification before purchase.
