Where do you return your goods to?
Once you have notified us, our support team will contact you with details of the address to send your item(s) to, the collection address if necessary; and of any references numbers that are required to be enclosed with or attached to the returned items.
The products must be returned to us unused, as new, and in undamaged condition. We advise you to return goods in their original product packaging, and where appropriate with all shrink wrapping and banding around the pallet or crate still intact in order to protect them in transit to us. In addition returns or cancellations will not be accepted if the product(s) have been altered by applying chemicals or paints to the surfaces other than those provided or by altering or customising the product in any way that could be deemed as you using or treating the products as your own.
What happens once goods have been returned?
- Following return and inspection your refund will be processed.
- Refunds will be subject to collection costs if we have arranged this on your behalf.
- Where you are dealing as business refunds are subject to a 25% restocking fee.
- Please note in the unlikely event that you have received defective goods from us (verified and confirmed before return) no return fee or restocking will be charged.
Cooling off period
These rights apply to the extent that you have purchased the product as a consumer.(A person who purchases for their own use, rather than a business) You may return any delivered product(s) you have purchased within 14 calendar days after the day of delivery for any reason (including if you simply change your mind). However, if you have ordered a made to order product or a customised product a manufacturing fee of 100% of the contract value is applicable and no refund will apply.
To do so you must notify us in writing via email to sales@seagullfittings.co.uk or by telephoning 0121 525 0020 or via the postal system. If you are returning a product because you have changed your mind after delivery, you must arrange for return transport of the goods at your own cost. All returned products must be returned unused, as new, and in undamaged condition. We advise you to return goods in their original product packaging with all shrink wrapping and banding around the pallet or crate still intact.

If an item is returned damaged, we will notify you via email, telephone or post. If damage has occurred in transit, it is your responsibility to make any claim for damaged items against your carrier.

We may dispose of them if not collected within 30 days.
Damaged Goods
It is your responsibility to ensure that your goods are checked before signing the delivery note. If you have received a package, parcel, pallet or crate that is damaged and have chosen to accept the delivery, it is important that you sign the delivery note as “damaged” and that you notify us of any damage within 48 hours of delivery.
Damage should be notified to us via email to sales@seagullfittings.co.uk together with digital photographic evidence of the damage. Evidence of damage may also be submitted by post provided the damage has been notified to us within the first 48 hours of delivery. We will then arrange to collect and replace your item subject to our usual terms and conditions of sale and delivery or offer an alternative remedy. Signing of the delivery note as “unchecked” or similar wording does not relieve you of the obligation to notify us of any damage within the first 48 hours from delivery. We will not accept claims for damaged goods if the carrier has obtained a clean signature or if more than 48 hours after delivery have passed.
Unfortunately, breakages can occasionally happen and we will send out replacements as soon as we can. To help us, we recommend that you open all products and check exactly how many individual units are broken, take photographs of the breakages, then contact us via email to sales@seagullfittings.co.uk
