Shipping Returns and Courier Costs

At James Hargreaves Clearance, we understand the importance of fast and affordable shipping. That's why we offer FREE & FAST standard parcel shipping* on orders over £50 within mainland Great Britain.

For heavy or bulky items, we have a TPN Pallet shipping fee to ensure your order is delivered securely. Additionally, items marked as fragile will incur a £14.99 shipping fee for added protection during transit.

To provide transparency, all shipping fees will be clearly shown on the checkout page after you enter your shipping address.

For next day deliveries, please note that the cut-off time is weekdays at 2pm. Orders placed over the weekend will be processed on the following weekday. Depending on the size of the products in your order, we work with different carriers such as Royal Mail Tracked service (24hr and 48hr), FedEx (24hr and 24hr specified daypart), and the Pallet Network (24hr) to ensure prompt delivery.

On average, orders should arrive at most locations within 2-3 working days, with many arriving on the next weekday if your order is placed before noon. Please be aware that we do not process orders over the weekend or on public holidays. We believe in giving our team time to rest and recharge, so they can provide you with the best service possible. Although normally accurate, our 3rd party delivery companies do not guaranteed their stated delivery time length - all courier companies occasionally have delays especially around Christmas.

At James Hargreaves Clearance, we strive to make the shipping and delivery process as seamless and efficient as possible. If you have any questions or concerns about shipping, please don't hesitate to reach out to our customer service team. We're here to help ensure your order arrives in a timely manner and in perfect condition.

*Please note that our definition of a standard parcel is an item or items that can be sent by courier and weigh under 20kg. These items should also not be fragile, as additional shipping fees may apply for fragile items.

Delivery and checking your products

Track your order with ease: Once your order is dispatched, we will provide you with a tracking number, giving you peace of mind throughout the delivery process.

Inspect your products upon arrival: To ensure your complete satisfaction, please carefully examine the product packaging for any signs of transit damage upon delivery. Should you identify any issues, please reach out to us immediately. While we encourage you to open the boxes and inspect the products, please note that if you decide to return them later, we reserve the right to adjust your refund to account for any decrease in value caused by mishandling or damage to the item and its packaging. So please open product packaging carefully.

Wait to schedule any installation services: Please do not book any plumbers or tradespeople until you have received and inspected your products. We cannot be held responsible for any third-party costs or charges which you incur due to non-delivery of an order, or orders that have not been checked on delivery.

International delivery beyond Mainland Great Britain: If you reside outside Mainland Great Britain, kindly get in touch with us to obtain accurate shipping prices specific to your location. We are happy to assist you in any way we can.

Ensuring a smooth delivery process and protecting your products is our utmost priority. Contact us with any concerns or inquiries - we are here to help!
