Delays – Part Shipment
Inventory
On rare occasions certain items will go temporarily out of stock or may be discontinued at short notice by our suppliers. We will notify you via email if this is the case and will offer you the opportunity to keep your items on back order, arrange alternative products or offer a full refund. In the event that we cannot send all your items in one shipment we will part ship your order so that you receive the majority of your selected items as quickly as possible. The remainder of your order will be dispatched within 24 hours of receipt of the goods from our supplier.
Busy Periods
During busier times there may be a slight delay in processing your order.
Most UK orders are sent via our couriers within standard delivery times. We cannot be held responsible for items delayed in the postal system, or any industrial action taken by our nominated couriers as this beyond our control.
Lost in Transit
We must allow up to 14 working days (UK Deliveries) from despatch before a parcel is deemed lost in transit. For further assistance please contact our customer service team at [email protected]
Weather Disruption
Unfortunately, severe weather conditions can disrupt our couriers from time to time. This can affect the services we offer and will affect the usual guarantee of service levels that are offered by our couriers. Naturally, couriers will always put the safety of its drivers and ancillary staff first over performance targets. Couriers do make every effort to put in place contingency plans when there is adverse weather. However, delays and back logs do occur from time to time.
These circumstances are beyond the control of both Linco Care Ltd and its courier partners. When selecting shipping methods please be aware that no refunds will be given on Express Delivery (usually next working day) or other timed delivery services if the courier is unable to operate its normal services due to bad weather. Express Delivery Services will always take priority and are still the fastest way to receive items.
Errors on Receipt of your Order
Any errors or missing items must be notified to us within 7 days of receipt of your order. We will be unable to redress any errors after this time has elapsed.
Proof of Delivery
UK Saver Delivery, UK Priority and Express Delivery (UK Mainland), Standard and Priority Delivery (UK Exceptions) will require a signature to release the parcel. Someone must be at your nominated delivery address to sign for your parcel between 8am and 8pm, so please provide a Delivery Address where the parcel can be reliably signed for, such as your place of work or a neighbours’ residence.
