Terms & Conditions of Purchase
The following terms and conditions will apply between you and First Grade Clothing Limited when you purchase an item from us. The terms do not affect your statutory rights.
First Grade Clothing do not hold stock of items shown on our website, therefore any order placed with us is subject to availability from our supplier. When you place your order with us, it is then ordered direct from our supplier. If any items on your order are not in stock with the supplier you will then be contacted via email, with expected due dates that we've been given from the supplier. Please note that these dates we are given are subject to to change, and we will update you via email if they should change at all. At this point you will be given the option to change the order. If you wish to cancel items that are out of stock, we can offer a full refund. If we do not get a response within 5 working days we will go ahead and process your order as normal.
You can check availability of items before you place your order by contacting us via email or telephone.
Usually, when items are out of stock the standard procedure is to hold the whole order until everything is in stock, and then we would ship everything together. If you'd like to split the order into two parcels we can do so at an extra delivery charge. Obviously if you're collecting your order this doesn't apply.
Generally, if all items are in stock, we ask that you allow up to 3 weeks for us to process your order. Usually we will have the order ready before then, but when ordering items from abroad (i.e Nike, Stanno, Joma) it can take longer for the goods to arrive with us.
At checkout you will be asked to chose a delivery option. You can chose to collect your order, or have it delivered. The delivery options include Royal Mail Standard, Royal Mail Tracked Delivery and Delivery with Tracked Courier.
Please note, if your order is over a certain weight, some of these options may not be available to you. You should also note that we WILL NOT be liable if you chose Royal Mail Standard and your parcel goes missing. For extra security we always recommend you select Royal Mail Tracked Delivery, as we are supplied with a tracking number to trace your parcel if it should go missing at all. For even more peace of mind we also offer Delivery with Tracked Courier, where we will send your parcel on a next day service. You will also be supplied with a timeslot for when you can expect your delivery.
It is the duty of the purchaser to examine all goods immediately upon receipt and all claims shall be notified to the company within 24 hours and confirmation in writing to be received by the company within 7 days of the purchaser taking possession. If notification is not received by the company within these periods, the company shall be under no liability whatsoever, in respect of such claim, and in any event, the liability of the company shall be limited at the company’s reasonable discretion.
We cannot be held responsible for items where an attempted delivery has been made, if the courier returns the parcel to ourselves or redelivers because no signature could be obtained. We will need to recharge carriage costs to resend/redeliver. We cannot be held responsible for delays in delivery due to circumstances beyond our control.
First Grade Clothing Limited regrets that once an order containing personalised items has been validated it cannot be changed or cancelled. All personalised items cannot be returned unless deemed to have a genuine fault of manufacturer. This does not affect your statutory rights. Please note, personalised items includes ANY printed or embroidered garments.
PAYMENT TERMS
Please note: any invoices that have not been paid within 30 days will be charged interest, at 8% above the Bank of England base rate.
If you have any complaints or comments about any of the products supplied to you, please contact First Grade Clothing Limited on 0115 9436210 or sales@firstgradeclothing.co.uk. We are available five days a week, from 9 – 5pm weekdays. Please allow 3 – 5 working days for us to respond to your comments and emails.
