When purchasing goods from us online, over the phone and by email you agree to the following terms and conditions:

When making payment online via card you will be redirected to SagePay or PayPal to input your billing and card details, once approved your money will be debited from your account, please note we may charge up to 1.90% extra for credit cards only (AMEX 1.90%, VISA 1.90% and Mastercard 1.90%). We accept most major credit and debit cards. All of our payments are processed securely through either PayPal or Sagepay, we do not store any sensitive card details on our servers.

DELIVERY

Our aim is to deliver products next day after dispatch. All of our products are sent via next day delivery. Providing your product is in stock and your order was placed, confirmed and paid for prior to our dispatch cut-off time, you should receive your order the following day. We cannot be held responsible for late delivery due to courier companies. We intend to provide tracking numbers for all deliveries, however in some cases where goods are shipped directly from our suppliers it can take us some time to receive the tracking information, once you receive an email notifying you that your order has been dispatched, it should arrive the next day by 17:00.

In the extremely unlikely event that your order does not arrive by this time, please contact our sales team who will be happy to trace your order. In many instances, due to the weight and dimensions of products that we offer, assistance for loading/unloading from hauliers and couriers/elected transport companies in the form of a forklift, pallet truck, personel or similar material handling equipment maybe required for any goods over the weight of 30kg. If you have any queries regarding unloading/loading assistance please contact our office who will be happy to advise what is required to load/unload your desired product(s) you plan to order.

Approximate item weights can usually be viewed on our website (in some instances this is not possible) to enable you to perform your own unloading/loading risk assessment prior to delivery. Re-delivery charges and missed deliveries due to customer error (eg. no answer at address) are subject to payment by the customer and will not be covered by LES or Kingsway Corporation Limited.

OUT-OF-STOCK ORDERS

If you order an item and it is out of stock we will still process your order. We will contact you to let you know your product is out of stock, we will offer you the opportunity to opt for an alternative product(s) or cancel your order. We will also provide you with an approximate delivery date for your out of stock item(s). If orders are cancelled we may still charge a cancellation fee if the goods have proceeded to production or our suppliers bill us a cancellation fee. Please call our office for accurate lead times.

Made to order goods are subject to up to 50% cancellation fee, if products have been fully manufactured and are beyond cancellation we reserve the right to charge 100% of the cost and will continue to complete delivery of the order.

If returning a product for an alternative with a different price we will either return the difference (less the handling fee) or request the difference if the new product is more expensive. We regret that we must charge all non-faulty goods returned 15-50% handling fee (dependant on product group) (made to order goods subject to above returns restocking fees), we are charged this by our suppliers also and do not make a profit on these. Faulty goods can be returned for repair and if unsuccessful a replacement and if still unfit a full refund.

  • We regret that we are unable to accept returned goods in a 'used' condition, additionally, none of the goods to be returned should have been removed from their original packaging, they must be in their delivered state, unused and unmarked. 
  • When returning goods that we believe have been 'used' it is the decision of management to assess the condition of the goods and consult the manufacturers in order to achieve a decision, further details of this process can be requested by contacting our team.
