Due to the new GPSR regulations about how businesses in England, Scotland and Wales can trade with consumers in EU countries, we are now unable to despatch goods into EU countries.

This is because it is not cost effective for a small company like us to comply with the requirements.

About Us

We are a small family run business and would like you to be totally satisfied with the purchases that you make, and the service that you receive. If you have any complaints, suggestions, comments (or even praise), then please email us at Orders @ Canal Shop

None of the following terms and conditions affect your statutory rights.

Making A Purchase

Browse through the catalogue and click the "Add to cart" button for any items that you wish to buy. After you have finished shopping, click on "Checkout" and you will be asked for a few details that I need to be able to process the order.

We accept card payments. If you are shopping from North America or anywhere else, place your order and your card company will convert the transaction to US Dollars or your own currency.

If you have made a mistake in your order and cannot correct it in the shopping cart, contact us and we will correct the mistake.

When confirmation of your order is received, this is to indicate that we have received your order. It does not indicate that a contract exists between us. We will indicate acceptance of your order, and hence a contract between us, when we send you an invoice. We have included this term to protect us in the case that a mistake has been made in pricing, we have inadvertently under-priced goods, or we are no longer able to supply a particular product for some reason. In the case of a change of price, we will always contact you first to ensure that the price is acceptable.

Shipping And Handling

For UK orders, you can choose between :

Royal Mail First Class
Royal Mail Second Class
Royal Mail Next Day Delivery
Courier - DPD Local
Yodel
Collect in person from our unit in Kettering (by appointment)

At our discretion, we may use a courier service if we feel that is more appropriate. Use of a courier service will not affect any charges made for shipping.

If the courier service is unable to deliver to you and the order is returned to us then you will be liable for either the initial postage cost if you choose to cancel the order or for further postage costs if you choose to have the order delivered again.

Royal Mail Standard Airmail is used for all overseas orders.

The shipping charge is worked out on the weight of the items. As the weight of items can vary (brass plaques especially), the charge you see will be the maximum charged. If the weight is significantly lighter,or the item can be sent as a large letter, then I will alter the amount downwards. You will never be charged more.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR CUSTOMERS IN THE EUROPEN UNION

DUTIES AND TAXES

Customs fees, duties and taxes may be applied to parcels travelling outside of the UK. This will depend on the value, the item(s) and the purpose of shipment. We are not experts in the VAT systems in 27 countries and you may need to take local advice.

All parcels sent outside of the United Kindom are Delivered Duty Unpaid. This means any customs duty owed will very likely need to be paid by the recipient.

Customs officials will contact the recipient for payment if there is any duty owed, and this will need to be paid before the parcel is released.

Parcels will be held by customs until payments are made. Any payments not received may result in parcels being returned or in some cases destroyed.

Delivery Schedule

All items are normally sent within 1 working day of receipt of the order. We will endeavour to email you to let you know when your order is posted but that is not always possible

Back Orders

If any of your items are temporarily out of stock we will back order for you. You will always be emailed with the estimated re-stocking date and the option to cancel your order if you would rather not wait.

Post and packing charges will never be more than that quoted at the time of the initial order, unless extra items are ordered to be sent with the back order.

Tax Charges

As we are registered for VAT in the UK, we do not apply VAT charges to goods sent outside of the UK.

Credit Card Security

We use a PCI-DSS Level 1 compliant card processing company called SellerDeck Pay (which is powered by ClearPay) to process our card transactions.

We are never able to see your card details or store them on our systems.

Guarantee

We would hope that you are 100% satisfied with any product that you order. If you are not, or anything arrives damaged, then please let us know so that a replacement can be sent or a refund made.
