Built4it Ltd is a small independent UK family business, not a large automated fulfilment warehouse. Every order is individually prepared, checked and securely packed before dispatch.
We always aim to get orders on their way as quickly as reasonably possible. Unless a service is expressly described as guaranteed, however, dispatch dates and delivery timeframes are estimates.
Nothing in this policy excludes, restricts or replaces your statutory rights under applicable UK consumer law.
Orders are normally dispatched within 1–2 working days.
Many orders are dispatched on the same working day where operationally possible, but same-day dispatch is not guaranteed unless we expressly state otherwise.
For the purposes of this policy, working days are normally Monday to Friday, excluding UK Bank Holidays.
Orders placed:
will normally begin processing on the next available working day.
During unusually busy periods, promotional events, stock movements or unforeseen operational circumstances, dispatch may take slightly longer. Where we become aware of a significant delay affecting your order, we will take reasonable steps to keep you informed.
Built4it uses established delivery providers, which may include Royal Mail, DPD and other suitable UK delivery services depending upon the order, destination, parcel size and service selected.
We may select or change the delivery provider where reasonably necessary, provided this does not materially reduce any delivery service expressly agreed with you.
Available delivery options are displayed at checkout where applicable.
Depending upon the order, these may include free or standard delivery, tracked delivery, priority processing or an enhanced delivery service.
Where a Priority, Express or enhanced delivery option is offered, this means that the order will receive the applicable priority processing and delivery service described at checkout.
A Priority or Express option does not constitute a guaranteed delivery date unless the service is expressly described as guaranteed.
Estimated delivery periods remain subject to factors including courier collections, network capacity, weekends, Bank Holidays, weather, road disruption, industrial action, peak seasonal demand and other circumstances outside our reasonable control.
Any estimated delivery date or timeframe shown on our website, at checkout, in an order confirmation, tracking notification or courier system is intended as an estimate unless expressly stated to be a guaranteed contractual delivery date.
An estimated date may therefore change after dispatch as the parcel moves through the carrier's network.
Where no different delivery period has been expressly agreed, goods will be delivered within the period required by applicable consumer law.
Where a product is expressly sold as a backorder, pre-order or special-order item, its estimated dispatch period may be longer than our usual 1–2 working-day processing period.
The estimated lead time applicable to that order will be provided on the product page, during checkout, by email or through direct communication with Built4it.
Expected stock-arrival and special-order dates are estimates unless expressly stated to be guaranteed.
If there is a significant change to an expected backorder or special-order timescale, we will take reasonable steps to inform you.
Where tracking is available for your selected delivery service, tracking details will normally be supplied after the parcel has been processed by the relevant delivery provider.
Please be aware that tracking information may not become active immediately after a postage label is created. Some delivery providers only update tracking after the parcel receives its first physical scan within their network.
Where Built4it arranges delivery to a consumer, Built4it remains responsible for fulfilling the delivery obligation in accordance with applicable UK consumer law.
Risk in the goods will normally remain with Built4it until the goods come into the physical possession of:
Different rules may apply where a customer independently commissions a carrier that was not offered or arranged by Built4it.
Although most deliveries arrive within their estimated timeframe, delays can occasionally occur after dispatch.
If your parcel appears delayed, please contact us and we will assist by reviewing the tracking information and, where appropriate, contacting the delivery provider.
A courier delay affecting an estimated delivery date does not automatically mean that the goods are lost or that the complete delivery charge becomes refundable.
However, nothing in this policy removes any statutory right that may arise where:
If tracking suggests that your parcel is lost, significantly delayed or incorrectly marked as delivered, please contact us as soon as reasonably possible.
Before contacting us regarding a parcel marked as delivered, please check:
Built4it will investigate the shipment with the delivery provider where appropriate.
If goods have not been properly delivered to you, or to a person or location authorised by you, we will provide the appropriate replacement, refund or other remedy in accordance with your statutory rights.
If an item arrives damaged, please contact us promptly at cs@built4it.co.uk.
Where reasonably possible, please provide:
Photographs or video may help us resolve the matter quickly and may avoid unnecessary return postage.
Damage occurring during delivery arranged by Built4it will be dealt with in accordance with our Returns, Refunds & Warranty Policy and your statutory rights.
Customers are responsible for checking that the delivery address and contact information supplied when ordering are complete and accurate.
If a parcel cannot be delivered because incorrect or incomplete information was supplied, we may ask you to pay reasonable additional delivery costs actually incurred in arranging redelivery where permitted by law.
If you discover an address error before dispatch, please contact us immediately. We will make reasonable efforts to amend the order but cannot guarantee that an address can be changed once dispatch processing has begun.
If a delivery attempt cannot be completed because nobody is available to receive the parcel, the delivery provider may:
The precise procedure depends upon the delivery service and any delivery preferences provided by the customer.
Where a parcel is returned to us following unsuccessful delivery caused by circumstances for which the customer is responsible, reasonable redelivery costs may be payable before the order is sent again where permitted by law.
If you instruct or authorise a delivery provider to leave a parcel in a particular safe place, with a specified neighbour or at another nominated location, that instruction may affect when delivery is treated as having been completed.
Please choose delivery locations carefully and only nominate places you consider reasonably secure and appropriate for the value and nature of the goods.
Any applicable delivery charge or available delivery option will be shown before you complete checkout.
Where standard UK delivery is offered free of charge, there is no separate standard delivery amount to refund.
Where a customer chooses a paid enhanced, premium, priority or express service, the additional charge relates to the upgraded service selected.
Where you exercise a statutory right to cancel an eligible online consumer purchase, Built4it will refund the amount required by applicable law, including the cost of our least expensive standard delivery option applicable to the order.
If you voluntarily selected a more expensive enhanced, premium, express or faster delivery option, we are not normally required to refund the additional amount paid above the cost of the least expensive standard delivery service.
Where our standard delivery option was free, the refundable standard-delivery amount will ordinarily be £0.
Further information about cancellations and refunds is contained in our Returns, Refunds & Warranty Policy.
If you believe Built4it has failed to provide a delivery service that you specifically purchased, please contact us with your order number and details of the issue.
Where a delivery service was expressly sold as guaranteed and that guaranteed service was not provided, we will provide any remedy required by the applicable service terms and consumer law.
Where a delivery date was clearly presented only as an estimate, arrival after that estimate does not by itself create an automatic entitlement to reimbursement of the complete delivery charge.
We may nevertheless provide a partial refund, discount, replacement accessory or other goodwill gesture where we consider this fair and appropriate.
Built4it may occasionally provide a delivery refund, partial refund, discount code, complimentary item or other goodwill gesture where we consider it reasonable to do so.
A discretionary goodwill gesture:
