Our Shipping Policy

Domestic Shipping

The standard despatch lead time for stock items listed on GraphicAir.co.uk is 1-5 working days.

Exceptions:

Fume extraction and filtration units are made to order, and the normal delivery lead time is 4 weeks. The shipping method you select will apply to all the other items you order. If you would like your order part shipped please give us a call or send us an email regarding. We would send your 2nd delivery 24 hour tracked but not signed for, dependant on goods ordered.

As a guide to typical delivery times once items are shipped.

  • Royal Mail Tracked 24 – usually delivered next day after despatched
  • Other courier services – next working day (after despatched) except Highlands and Islands which take 3-5 working days depending on your area

This applies to the majority of items. Once the goods have left us we cannot guarantee the delivery times of our couriers and postal services.

You will receive an email telling you when it has been despatched, which will give you a better indication when it will arrive. If no-one is available at the address to sign for the parcel when it arrives it will be taken back to your nearest depot and a card should be left asking you to contact the depot.

*Free delivery – Orders over £75 are carriage free to the UK mainland only.

Orders under £75.00 are subject to carriage charged depending on weight, value and hazardous items.

International Shipping

Orders from countries outside the UK have a longer delivery lead time. Your order may also be delayed if there are issues that need us to contact you.

You are, as a buyer, responsible for any VAT, tariff, duty, taxes, handling fees, customs clearance charges, and other fees required by your country for importing consumer goods. We do not collect this beforehand, and cannot give you an estimate of the cost – charges vary around the world.

We advise that you check your country’s rules on imports so there are no surprise charges when clearing your package through customs. Please verify the customs, duties charges, and procedures in your country before placing your order.

If customs fees and charges are refused at the time of delivery, your order will be returned and you will not receive a refund for shipment costs.

Back Orders

We constantly monitor demand to make sure we have the right levels of stock. However, as we stock over a 1500 items, it is inevitable that an item will run out of stock occasionally. Delivery lead time for out of stock items are based on typical delivery times from the manufacturer and the approximate date of the next expected delivery if the date is known. Please give us a call or email if you want to check the timeframe of an item.

For the UK:

If an item is out of stock on the day that your order is received we will send everything that is in stock and the out of stock item will remain on back order. We may send you an email telling you when we expect to have the item in stock and if the delivery time is expected to be significantly different from the availability shown on the website product page. When it arrives into stock we will automatically send it to you as soon as possible. Postage and packaging on any back order items is free within the UK. The main delivery will be sent by your chosen delivery service, but we will send back order items later by the most economical method depending on volume/weight.

For other countries:

We may have to hold the whole order until the out of stock item is available if sending two parcels would significantly exceed the carriage quoted and charged at the www.graphicair.co.uk checkout. However, if the first or second parcel is light enough we may decide to send the extra parcel at no extra charge. In this case the main delivery will be sent by your chosen delivery service, but we will send back order items later by the most economical method depending on volume/weight.

If the back order item is the main item and you would not wish to use the other items on your order without having the back order item, then we may contact you to ask if you would prefer us to hold the whole order until it is complete. If you wish to wait then we will send the whole order as soon as the back order item arrives into stock by the delivery method you selected.

If you have items on back order, you may cancel the back order at any time by replying to your order confirmation email, emailing us through our Contact Us page.

If we have already dispatched the goods you may choose to keep the back order items or use the returns procedure below.
