Pallet Deliveries - 1 man delivery service for large furniture sets and Barbeques |
The majority of garden furniture sets and Barbecues will be delivered on a wooden pallet, this is to ensure that your order arrives in perfect condition.
The delivery driver will not be able to carry the items up or down steps, carry the items through a property, wheel the pallet across a gravel driveway or up particularly steep driveways. Unfortunately the delivery company will be unable to remove items from the pallet or take the pallet away with them. The driver will normally only be able to wheel the pallet as far as physically possible which may even be the kerbside.
On pallet deliveries please assume the delivery will be made on a long heavy goods vehicle, please contact us if there are weight, height or parking restrictions or difficult access points before your order is despatched so that we can make alternative arrangements, failure to do so may result in a failed delivery and re-delivery charge.

- To a premises where it is illegal for a lorry to park or offload.
- Where the surface of the access road is very unstable, soft or muddy.

Cancelling your Order
We operate a policy for cancellation to allow you a cooling off period after placing your order. In accordance with the Distance Selling Directive (2000) you may cancel your order at any time without reason within 7 working days of delivery. You may cancel your order for any reason provided:
- You or the recipient notifies us of your cancellation in writing/ email to the address on our “contact us" page within seven working days of delivery.
- The goods remain unused and component parts are unopened.
- You or the recipient retain and take reasonable care of the goods until returned.
- You return packaged item(s) to Swallow Aquatics.
- Please be aware that you will be responsible for any postage/carrier costs incurred in sending goods back to the Swallow Aquatics. We recommend that items being returned be sent via insured, trackable delivery for your protection. A refund can only be provided for items received back by us.
On receipt of the goods, Swallow Aquatics will give you a full refund of the amount paid (less the delivery charge) or an exchange/credit as required. Refunds can only be credited back to the original card that the goods were bought with. Please note that refunds for items bought as gifts can only be given to the original payer, and that if you decide to swap an item we can’t stop the payer knowing. On return of goods on which you have received a discount/offer, that discount/offer will no longer apply if you fall below the discount /offer threshold. Swallow Aquatics can arrange for delivery of replacement products to you if required; this constitutes a separate contract between you and Swallow Aquatics. In this case, a charge will be made by Swallow Aquatics for packing, handling and delivery of goods. This does not affect your statutory rights.
You will receive an email to confirm that we have received your order. It does not indicate that a contract exists between us. We will indicate acceptance of your order, and hence a contract between us, when we send you an invoice.
This term is included to protect us from any errors made in the pricing of goods, or in case we are no longer able to supply a particular product for some reason. If a price has changed we will always contact you first to ensure that the price is acceptable.

The 21 days start from the day of dispatch, but as a minimum includes a period of 7 working days from the day after delivery to you as the permitted cancellation period. We will provide a refund or exchange within 30 days of receiving the returned goods. We recommend that items being returned be sent via insured, trackable delivery for your protection.
