Seasonal Pre-orders

Unlike our all-year-round range, our seasonal range is bought in to order, therefore please place your orders as early as possible to ensure we have the complete range in-stock ready for your deliveries.

There are 5 “available from” dates based on availability and shelf-life of the products. These are highlighted against the brands in the catalogue. This means your order may arrive in 5 instalments, which many customers prefer anyway.· Some items have limited availability and have been ordered in by us already on a WIGIG basis (When It’s Gone It’s Gone!) the early birds catch the worms.

Please tell us which week you would like your order(s) delivered, as early as possible, which should take into account the availability dates. Please note delivery slots can fill up fast. Once the order is placed, you will receive a confirmation e-mail. If we don’t hear back from you within 7 days of this order confirmation, your order is final and cannot be amended.

If your circumstances change and you wish to cancel or amend your order after the 7 days, orders cancelled up to one month prior to agreed delivery date will incur a 20% handling charge. Orders cancelled within one month of delivery date will require payment in full.· We will do our utmost to ensure availability of items by the stated dates within the catalogue. However, very occasionally, circumstances beyond our control may mean items are not despatched on the original order. Outstanding items will be added to your next regular or seasonal order. The changed dates of these back-ordered items may not be used as a reason to cancel them.

All seasonal deliveries are made subject to credit accounts being up-to-date. If you have any questions, please contact your Account Manager or our customer service team in the office on 03452 606060, Monday – Friday, 8:30am – 5:00pm GMT.

Please Note:· Your order will need to meet our minimum order value.
