For security reasons, we are unable to make deliveries to BFPO addresses or PO Box Numbers or addresses which are not secure. The contents of your order, delivery services and destination will determine the delivery rate you will be charged. This charge will be added to your basket at the checkout. Small orders (up to 1kg) will normally be dispatched by Royal Mail. All orders over 1Kg will be dispatched by carrier. Occasionally, orders may be sent in more than one consignment; however you will only pay one delivery charge per order. Delivery will normally be between 8.00 am and 6.00 pm Monday to Friday (excluding bank holidays); We are unable to make timed deliveries. Whilst every effort is made to meet delivery dates, the Windowclean Centre shall not be liable for any losses, costs, damages incurred directly or indirectly from any failure to meet an estimated delivery date. A signature will be required as proof of delivery. This signature will also be proof of safe delivery; it is essential that the person signing for delivery checks for damage prior to signature, as we cannot accept responsibility for damage following signature. Checking is paramount; we cannot accept responsibility for goods signed for as "Unchecked". Ownership of the order will pass to you at the point of delivery. If you are unable to sign for delivery, it will be necessary to complete the alternative delivery instructions section at the checkout. Where delivery is made without a signature, ownership will pass to you at that point. Failure to complete the alternative delivery instruction section satisfactorily, may result in additional re-delivery charges being made. The fullest delivery instructions are vital; house name and village are not sufficient. In non urban areas, we require the road name and number and location e.g. opposite the post office.

Claims for damage to or loss of, any item whilst in transit must be made to customercare@windowcleancentre.co.uk within three working days (in the case of damage) or within seven working days of the notified arrival date.
