Where we install your building, we offer a 6 month warranty on our workmanship. Please note that this doesn’t include such things as accidental damage or damage due to inclement weather. We do not repair roofing materials where it has come off due to storms; this should be covered by your general household insurance. Please also note that wood is a natural product and will move and warp depending on temperature and humidity. We do provide aftercare advice on our buildings to keep them in good condition. If you do have a problem after receiving your building we ask that you detail the problem in writing to us giving your name and address, so that we have a record of the problem and we can deal with it. You can write to us or email us at info@merittimberproducts.co.uk.

The prices stated on this website include the cost of delivery to some UK postcode districts for goods over £100.

However, we incur additional costs for delivery of certain products to some postcodes, particularly in remote areas. If we do incur additional costs we reserve the right to levy the additional charge and increase our lead times, which would also be necessary as specialist hauliers may need to be engaged.

If you have placed your order online and an additional delivery surcharge is required, we will contact you to notify you of the additional charge. You can then choose to continue with your order by paying the additional delivery charge or you may cancel your order at that point. Unfortunately we are unable to deliver some of our products to certain postcodes. Please see individual product pages for more details or contact us directly for more information.

Please note that we operate a policy of kerb-side delivery only unless your building is being installed.

If you have any special requirements or believe access to your address may be difficult for our delivery driver then please contact us on 01449 711598.

Please note that any time scales or dates stated on our website or emails regarding our delivery are ESTIMATES only.

Orders received on Saturdays, Sundays or public holidays and orders received after 1pm on weekdays, will be processed the next working day. We do not normally deliver on Saturdays, but where we agree to a Saturday delivery, an additional charge will be levied and this will be made clear at the time of placing your order. We do not deliver at all on Sundays or public holidays unless by specific arrangement.

We recommend that you do not arrange any third party ancillary services (e.g., installation) until goods are delivered and checked. We cannot be held responsible for expenses incurred in this regard where the delivery ESTIMATE has been relied upon but not met.

When placing your order, please ensure that you have included the full delivery address details, including an accurate postcode of the delivery address and your daytime contact telephone number(s) and an up to date email address if applicable so that we can notify you in the event of a delivery problem.

If you are not going to be present to accept delivery and you wish the goods to be left unattended, please notify us prior to delivery in writing (post, email or fax) or leave a signed note in a secure place to this effect. Once your order is placed online we will send out a confirmation email, showing your contact details as provided to us and your order reference number. You will be contacted prior to the estimated delivery date to notify you of the exact day on which your delivery will be made.

If you miss the delivery of your order or we are not able to install your building due to access difficulties or base problems, you will incur a re-delivery charge as we have met our original delivery obligation with our first attempted delivery. If this is the case we will of course notify you, prior to the re-delivery, of any charges that may apply. For further information and clarification regarding deliveries, please contact our sales team prior to placing your order on 01449 711598.

Delivery will be deemed as successfully made once the product has arrived at the address specified so long as the product has been signed for or a note or prior email by the buyer has been left or sent to say that the goods can be left unsigned for. Where goods are required to be signed for, these must be signed for by an adult aged 18 years or more. The driver will not request assistance unless it is offered by the customer. Products are your responsibility once they have been received by you, your agent or the intended recipient or a signed note or email has been left or sent indicating that delivery can be left unattended. Any loss or damage to the products will be at your own risk. In case of delivery to certain locations such as hospitals, airports, hotels, ships and other business premises, the signature of any person authorised to accept delivery on behalf of that organisation shall be accepted as proof of delivery of the goods to yourself.

Shortages should be noted on the consignment note and notified to us within 48 hours of delivery at info@merittimberproducts.co.uk or 01449 711598. If you have received a package that is damaged and have chosen to accept the delivery, it is important that you sign the delivery note as “Damaged”. You should notify us of any damage within 48 hours of receipt and we may require photographic evidence of the damage. We will arrange to collect and replace your item within an agreed time or offer an alternative remedy. Signing of the delivery note as “unchecked” or similar wording does not waive your right of notification to us for damage as detailed above. We may not accept claims for damaged goods if the courier has obtained a clean signature for delivery. If more than 48 hours after delivery have passed please contact logistics@merittimberproducts.co.uk or telephone us on 01449 711598.
