Placing an Order
By placing an order with us you will be deemed to have read, understood and agreed to these Terms and Conditions. If you are unhappy with or unclear about any aspect of these terms, please contact one of our customer service advisors before placing an order with us either by telephone on 01638 731 608, by info services@theratchetshop.com or by post using the address given below. Calls to our Customer Service team are charged at the local rate (BT customers only, other network providers may vary). All our calls may be recorded for training and monitoring purposes.

By placing an order via this website you are making an offer to The Ratchet Shop Ltd to purchase the goods detailed in your order upon the terms described in your order.

Once you have placed an order we will send you a confirmation that your order has been received but this is not a confirmation that your offer to purchase the goods has been accepted. A contract between you and The Ratchet Shop Ltd for the sale of our products will only exist once an order has been accepted, processed and despatched to you. This does not affect your statutory rights.

Prices and availability of goods are subject to change without notice. A delivery charge will be added to your order value where appropriate. Please see our delivery times and charges.

All orders received and accepted before 1.30pm will, subject to availability and where possible, be despatched on that same day for a next working day delivery for all UK Mainland orders. If you live outside the UK Mainland, please see our delivery information page for delivery times. Those orders received and accepted after 1.30pm will be deemed as received the following day and will be despatched the day after unless we inform you otherwise. All dates quoted for delivery are estimated delivery dates only and may be subject to change. We offer next day delivery on all orders but we do not accept liability for orders that for a reason out of our control do not get delivered in the time frame we offer. We can accept no liability for any loss or damage (whether direct or indirect) if delivery takes place at any time other than the estimated date for delivery. If you have stated to have your parcel left at your premises without being signed for, we accept no liability for the goods once they are delivered.

However, specifications and descriptions of products on this website or in any other promotional device we use are not intended to be binding and are intended only to give a general description of the products. If you receive a product you believe is different to the description that we have advertised, as long as you have contacted us within 7 days of the delivery and the item is unused we will refund you for the item once it has been returned to us and inspected. Furthermore, while the colour reproduction of the products is a close representation, we cannot accept any responsibility for any variation in colour caused by the browser software or computer system used to view the products.

Delivery of Goods
The delivery company will require a person over the age of 18 to sign for goods as proof of receipt. Although we recommend you sign for your own goods, it is not required that the signature be from the specified recipient. If you are not available to sign for your goods, you will receive a calling card from our courier DPD. You will then have to call the number on the card quoting the reference given to arrange a re-delivery. Please be aware that the courier will only attempt to deliver your parcel twice and if they are unsuccessful then the parcel will be returned to our depot. If the fault is not of us or our courier you will be charged again for the redelivery.

If you do not want this to happen we must be made aware of this at the time of your order. If the parcel is left with your neighbour we cannot be held responsible if the items go missing.

Please note that if your parcel does not arrive in the time we have allocated to your country/area then please contact us as soon as possible so we can sort this problem out for you straight away. Without fail we have your parcel out for delivery in the time frame we allocate, however we use an external courier company DPD and with that we cannot always account for your parcels whereabouts unless we are aware that there is a problem with it. If it is a matter of urgency that your parcel is with you at the time we have promised then please follow up your order with a call to our office so we can make sure we are tracking your parcel to the door.
