Availability of goods

Prices, payment and VAT
Prices quoted in printed catalogues and internet pages are liable to change without prior notice; they do not include postage and packaging charges. Value Added Tax (VAT) is not currently charged on sales of books, guides or maps to the UK, EU or elsewhere. Other items may be liable to VAT and are indicated in catalogues, etc. VAT will be charged in accordance with current EU VAT regulations.

Payment can currently be accepted in Sterling, Euros and US Dollars. Prices in Japanese Yen can be viewed on our website but payment must be made in either Sterling, Euros or US Dollars. Non-Sterling price quotations are calculated on the current exchange rate and will constantly vary depending on the stock exchange movements.

Payment may be made by credit or debit card (not by charge card, eg Amex), by UK Postal Order, International Money Order, Bankers’ Draft, or by a cheque drawn on a UK Clearing Bank. Electronic Fund Transfers, such as BACS (Bank Automated Clearing System) may be also possible, please contact us for details.

We reserve the right not to supply goods to purchasers who have previously defaulted on payment, or where there is reasonable evidence that a fraudulent credit card payment may be involved. Bulk international orders will only be accepted once clearance has been assured from our own bank; credit cards are not accepted on these orders.

Educational discounts, special offers, and bulk orders are at the discretion of the UKGE management.

Delivery
Goods will be despatched by the customer’s preferred means (which may be the Royal Mail or a courier) and normally within five days of placing your order. Please allow five days for delivery in the UK, seven days in the EU and up to 30 days elsewhere. If your order is delayed beyond this time please contact us immediately.

Postage and packing costs are calculated according to the quantity and weight of items ordered and the destination. Delivery charges are liable to change without notice and are exclusive of VAT. You will only be charged the amount quoted. If you require special delivery arrangements to be made please enquire before placing your order. Full pricing details can be found on our UKGE website. Delivery costs when ordering mail order via our catalogue will vary since it is impossible to calculate total weight, these prices are based on the average cost of delivery per bracketed order value.

Lost, Damaged or Incorrectly Supplied Goods
We will take all reasonable steps to replace items damaged in transit or those that have been supplied in error. Where this is not possible, a full refund will be made (please see Availability above).

If goods are lost or damaged in transit, or have been incorrectly supplied, you should retain them together with all packaging and documents, and notify UKGE immediately. You should do this by letter, fax or email within seven days of receiving the goods: beyond this period we cannot guarantee that replacements will be available. You then have the choice of having a replacement item or a full refund. Please ensure you quote any Customer Order Numbers and include your full name and address in any communications.

Please do not return any faulty or incorrect goods unless asked to do so. We will give you instructions on how, or whether, to return these items, and may ask you to supply appropriate documents. Some items may require to be sent direct to the manufacturer.

We recommend that you use a recorded delivery service to ensure that returned goods arrive promptly and undamaged: your postage costs will be refunded.

Cancelling an Order
Within the terms of the Consumer Protection (Distance Selling) Regulations 2000, you have a seven working day cancellation period, which begins with the day after the date of delivery of the goods to your address and expires seven working days later. You may cancel by letter, fax, telephone or email; all of the necessary information (name address, indication of items ordered) must be included to ensure we can give you the correct refund. This refund will be made within 30 days of our receipt of your notification of cancellation. Goods should be returned to us on cancellation of the order, in their original undamaged and unused condition. We recommend that you use a recorded delivery service to ensure that returned goods arrive promptly and undamaged. We will not pay the return postage of a cancelled order. If the goods are not returned to us, we will arrange to collect them, but reserve the right to deduct the cost of collection from your refund.
