Carriage, Delivery, Returns and Cancellations, Order Value
Delivery
We use Royal Mail First-class Recorded delivery for consignments up to 2kg in weight. Consignments in excess of 2kg are sent ParcelForce 24 as this is a more economic shipping option for heavier packages.
Both options are signed-for receipt, meaning that someone must be present at the delivery address to sign for their receipt. If no-one is at the address to receive the goods, the postal service will leave a card for you, explaining that nobody could sign for them, and the card will also advise you of your local depot from which the goods can be collected.
Generally, you have 5 days to collect the goods from the postal depot, after which they may be returned to our despatching warehouse. If correctly ordered goods are returned to us because of such non-collection, you may be required to pay an additional shipping charge to have the goods re-sent.
Carriage Costs
The cost of carriage and delivery is determined by the weight of your consignment. As you add items to your shopping cart, you can use the "shipping estimator" button to show approximately how much your consignment will cost to deliver. The actual cost is displayed during the checkout phase of your visit.
The shipping weight is the combined weight of the item and its packaging. For this reason, you will always notice a difference between the ITEM weights and the final SHIPPING weights.
We aim to send out your consignment within 48 hours of your order being placed and accepted. However, please allow for 14 days delivery time as there may be factors that affect your order (such as product availability, courier services, postal delays, etc).
All deliveries are subject to signed receipt.
Returns
Please do not return goods without contacting us first. We will advise you of the returns procedure when you contact us.
You have 7 days (after your receipt of the goods) to contact us to discuss returns.
We are unable to accept returns for perishable foods, open or used items. All products returned to us must be in their original and undamaged packaging.
The cost of returning items to us is for your account when goods have been correctly supplied.
Cancellation of Orders
Orders can be cancelled only PRIOR to their despatch. If your order has been shipped, and you then wish to cancel it, you will have to follow the returns procedure (described above).
Minimum Order Value
As our prices are amongst the lowest in the industry, EduTrade applies a minimum order value of £8. This is to give you the best value for money, as handling a shipping costs for mail-order can make small purchases uneconomic.
If you would like to place an order where the total value is under £8, please use our "contact us" page to send us your message.
