Deliveries and Returns : Your Questions Answered

Need some more information about deliveries or returns? We’ve got your questions covered.

When will my order be dispatched?

When you place your order online you are provided with an order confirmation that includes a ‘target dispatch date’. This is the date we aim to have your order completed and dispatched by. However, it is important to mention that whilst every effort is made to dispatch your order on the target dispatch date we cannot guarantee this. You will be notified should any unexpected delays occur.

Once your order has been made available for dispatch When we will email you to advise that your order is being dispatched and include tracking information for you to track your items. Please note any tracking information supplied will not show any results until the day of delivery.

When you receive the email advising you of dispatch of your order and you are not going to be in to accept delivery, or you would like to change your delivery date, please contact us as soon as possible and we will try our best to change this for you.

If your order has already left us, then unfortunately we have no control over the delivery schedules but we will try our very best to accommodate you.

What courier do you use to deliver?

As a small family run business, we do not have the resources to provide our own network of transportation services, so we rely on third party couriers to transport all goods.

To ensure we offer the most efficient service we use more than one carrier. The carrier used for your order is determined by the size and weight of your order as well as your postal code area.

On occasion larger and more delicate items will need to be transported via a pallet service. Should this be the case for your order we will discuss this with you to make necessary arrangements.

How much will delivery cost?

Costs for shipping are generated based on order size, weight and delivery area. More information can be seen in the product details of the item you are looking at.

Because larger items cannot be conveyed through the carrier’s automated system they have to be manually handled that involves the carrier an extra cost. Any packaged order containing an item(s) in excess of 1500mm in height or with an overall girth in excess of 1750mm will be considered a 'Large Package' and a £10.00 delivery surcharge applied.

How long will my order take to arrive?

Orders dispatched to most UK mainland addresses are sent out on a 24 hour service but this is not a guaranteed schedule. Please note during peak times (such as Easter and Christmas) when the couriers are experiencing high levels of traffic, delivery schedules can be adversely affected.

All orders are dispatched from Monday to Thursday only. Our offices are open Monday to Friday should you require any assistance. Orders will not be dispatched outside of normal working hours. This includes national bank holidays.

Should your order be a 'Large Package' the delivery schedule above can be increased by 24 hours.

For more information on delivery schedules to different geographical areas please see as follows:

England and Wales – Please allow 1 -2 working days for delivery.
Central Scotland – Please allow up to 3 working days.
Scottish Highlands – please allow up to 5 working days.
Isle of Wight – Please allow up to 3 working days.
Isle of Man, Scottish Islands and Channel Islands – Delivery schedule to be advised.
Northern Ireland and EIRE – We are currently not delivering to this area during this time.

The carrier makes every effort too deliver to the above schedule but this cannot be guaranteed.

Should your order be a 'Large Package' the delivery schedule above can be increased by 24 hours.

Please do not book an installer or fitter until you have received your order, most deliveries arrive on schedule but delays can occur and we cannot be held responsible for any monies lost due to arrangements being made before arrival of goods.

What happens when your order is out for delivery?

Deliveries are made via a third party carrier between 8am and 6pm Monday- Friday. Weekends deliveries are not currently available.

Please note that once your order has been dispatched Simply Shutters has no control over the delivery schedule. It is not always possible to provide a window for delivery, but the courier may provide this information. This can be found on the tracking details which are sent to you via email when your order has been dispatched.

Goods will be delivered to the address specified on the order unless alternative written instructions are received. All orders must be signed for on delivery.

Upon request, items can be left in a safe place at the customer’s own risk. Simply Shutters cannot accept responsibility for loss or theft should we be instructed to advise the carrier to leave the consignment in any nominated safe place.

Most delivery companies will only provide a kerbside delivery and will not access your property.

Please also be aware that some items may be required to be delivered via a larger delivery truck. If you live on a narrow road or a residential area that cannot accept large vehicles, please let us know so we can inform the courier of this beforehand.

If delivery is unsuccessful due to any details, we were not advised of (ie. you are away or incorrect delivery address provided) and your parcel/s need to be return to Simply Shutters then you be liable for a re-delivery fee.

Whilst we will always try our best to help it is important to advise that once your parcel is within the courier network, we are unable to make any changes to the delivery, including changing address or adding delivery instructions.

What happens upon receipt of goods?

We wrap all of our orders to an exceptionally high standard to ensure a safe journey however on occasion damage in transit can occur. Upon receipt of your order please inspect the items immediately. Any damage MUST be reported to Simply Shutters within 3 working days. Simply Shutters cannot accept nor entertain any claim for damage outside of the 3 day period following delivery.

Please retain all packaging in case your order needs to be returned for whatever reason

Should any items have been damaged whilst in transit then the original packaging must be used for the damaged items to be returned to us.

What happens if I receive damaged items?

Whilst it is not a regular occurrence on occasion items can be damaged in transit.

Should any items be damaged in transit Simply Shutters must be notified within 3 days of receipt.

Please retain your packaging until you have fully inspected your items so that this can be used for the damaged items to be returned to us. Simply Shutters will organise collection of the goods and the delivery of replacement items.

Please take pictures of the damaged items AND the packaging and send these through to sales@simplyshutters.co.uk. We require this to send to the courier to make a claim against them for damage. Please be aware we cannot organise collection of damaged items until we receive images of damage.

We operate a collect first policy whereby we will organise collection of your damaged goods and upon confirmation of collection from our courier service we will then organise sending out a replacement to you. Because of this it is not possible to organise collection and delivery on the same day.

Please note we can organise collection from a safe place but this is at the customers own risk. Customers will also be liable to pay for any failed collections.

If you would rather claim a refund instead of received a replacement this can be organised for you once the damaged item has been collected and received back to Simply Shutters.
