Corona Virus Updates

Latest update 24/03/2020 10:30

We are still taking and shipping orders, working with the members of our emergency services and Government agencies to get kit to those keeping us safe.

Our Customer services team are still available via phone or email even whilst they remote work so that we can keep them safe but still provide you with the service required.

*Returns Info;

During the current Corona virus lockdown period our customer services team are working remotely to help keep them safe. This may cause a delay in your return being processed. We are where possible monitoring and processing returns but if your return is not urgent or you are unable to ship the goods back to us please notify us of your requirement for a return and we will make a note of your request and date and then allow you to return the goods at a more appropriate time and process as normal.

You can find our returns process here to access the returns form;

Orders

You are deemed to place an order with us by ordering via our online checkout process. As part of our checkout process you will be given the opportunity to check your order and to correct any errors. We will send you an order acknowledgement by email detailing the products you have ordered. Our acceptance of an order takes place when we dispatch the order.

By advertising the goods, we are under no obligation to provide them. We may refuse to accept an order:

- where goods are not available;

- where we cannot obtain authorisation for your payment;

- if there has been a pricing or product description error; or

- if you do not meet any eligibility criteria set out in our terms and conditions.

The list is not exhaustive and there may be other reasons for not accepting an order.

When Placing your order please be aware:

Some items may not be available for dispatch at the time of order, but can be purchased to be allocated first come first served when back in Stock.

This is shown as:

The RED text 'Awaiting Due Date' means that we are waiting to hear from the suppliers as to when they estimate the stock will be back in as there is currently no available stock.

The ORANGE text 'Size ? Due ?/?' means that we have been given a date for the expected delivery from the suppliers. This means your order won't be processed and dispatched until after this date.

The GREEN text ' Size ? In stock' means that the stock is available and ready for dispatching now.

Payment has to be made at the time of order for web-based sales and no credit can be given. Customers making bulk purchases on behalf of a government or commercial organisation, under certain circumstances may be given credit; this should be arranged through Patrol Store.

Payment is taken in full at the time of the order for all phone and web based retail orders. All UK orders are dispatched Via Dpd Local for priority orders and Royal Mail or Dpd Local for standard orders dependent on weight.

Batteries and WEEE

WEEE Regulations

• The Waste Electrical or Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive requires countries to maximise separate collection and environmentally friendly processing of these items.

• If you're buying a new electrical item, we will recycle your old one for free

• Many electrical items can be repaired or recycled, saving natural resources and the environment. If you do not recycle, electrical equipment will end up in landfill where hazardous substances will leak out and cause soil and water contamination - harming wildlife and also human health.

• To remind you that old electrical equipment can be recycled, it is now marked with a crossed-out wheeled bin symbol. Please do not throw any electrical equipment (including those marked with the crossed out wheeled bin symbol) in your bin.

• Find more information on WEEE recycling, and locate your local recycling centre, at www.recyclenow.com.

Waste Batteries and Accumulator Regulations
