We will take all reasonable care to ensure that all details, descriptions and prices of Products appearing on the Website are correct.

If no one is available to accept delivery goods will be taken back to the carriers depot. Unfortunately we are unable to specify a time for delivery; delivery could be any time between 9am and 5pm Monday to Friday. We can deliver to an alternate address such as a neighbours address, however there must be someone available to accept delivery.

Please do not contact suppliers regarding their products; they will only deal direct with ourselves regarding faulty or damaged goods. Any Queries MUST be dealt with by POLE DESIGN.

Once the goods are signed for they cease to be the property of POLE DESIGN, and it is the customer's responsibility to ensure that they are received and signed for by a authorised person and that they arrive in good condition.

Any Damaged parcel must be brought to the attention of the courier and not accepted. Once the parcel is signed for in good condition they then become your property. All couriers are expected to stay approx 10 minutes to ensure that goods are inspected. It is your responsibility to do so. Please ensure that parcel is in good condition and complete.
