Terms & Conditions

All goods are delivered ex-warehouse. Horgans will arrange a freight company to deliver to the purchaser’s address, unless the purchaser states otherwise. Liability passes to the purchaser upon delivery of the goods to the designated address of the purchaser. Liability passes to the purchaser ex-warehouse, if purchaser organises freight ex-warehouse. 

Freight is payable at checkout, therefore freight costs are the responsibility of the purchaser, and are additional to the cost of goods sold. The purchaser must sign for the number of cartons received upon delivery. Horgans will not be held responsible for cartons signed for, but not received. If upon delivery cartons are damaged, we ask that you please mark the consignment note and notify Horgans immediately. Please note that bulky and fragile items require specialist carriers and may take longer to reach nominated destinations. Orders will only be sent directly to purchaser’s client at Horgans discretion.

If the goods are to be delivered to a location other than ground level, then sufficient access must be available by staircase or lift. If delivery cannot be made to the location specified due to the nature of the premises, insufficient access, incorrect detail regarding the access provided or unavailable to meet the delivery, the customer will be liable for all additional costs incurred. If the item(s) is(are) returned, the customer is liable for all additional delivery costs and restocking fees.

Site delivery checklist

Horgans will not accept responsibility for delivery failures or delays by our delivery contractors with items returned due to access limitations. To ensure you have a smooth and seamless delivery please see the points listed below as these are what you are required to agree with before checking out an order on our website.

You agree that;

• You have checked the size of your products and determined that they will fit either into a lift cart or via stairs into your property?
• You have checked if the lift requires a booking and have arranged in a timely manner?
• You have assessed if a loading dock booking is required and have arranged this prior to delivery?

If delivery cannot be made or is delayed due to the nature of the premises, insufficient access, incorrect access details provided or no-one is home, the customer is liable for all addition freight costs and restocking fees.
