1.2 Remittance Terms
Please note that for administrative reasons, we cannot take deposits or hold goods without payment in full. Your credit/debit card is charged in full at the time of despatch.
2. Stock Availability
We try to ensure that we always carry sufficient stock levels where possible. Where a product is despatched directly from a manufacturer, we may need to contact them first to confirm availability. If an item is knowingly out of stock it will be labelled as such on the Express Wellies website. If you order from our Customer Services by phone, or in-store, you will be told if the item is in stock. If for any other reason beyond our reasonable control we are unable to supply a particular item, we will not be liable to you except to ensure that you are not charged for that item.
3. Site Registration
To purchase from the Express Wellies website, you must setup a website user account. This is simple to do, allows you to keep track of your purchases, and ensures a positive buying experience.
You will need to enter a valid email address which we can contact you on, and provide a password. We ask you to keep this secure - our staff do not have access to see this. If you forget your password, you can reset it.
4. Delivery
Express Wellies believes delivery should be fast, easy and hassle-free. Orders placed after Thursday PM, during the weekend or on a Bank Holiday will be subject to a slight delay as couriers do not operate a standard service during these periods. Once an order is placed, and an item has been dispatched, you will receive a Dispatch email. This will give you your delivery tracking number (where applicable).
