At Maidenhead Aquatics we pride ourselves in offering you both excellent service and great value for money. With this in mind, we want you to be 100% confident when purchasing from our online store. To place an order you will be asked to provide a valid email address so that we can send a confirmation email as soon as your order has been dispatched. This helps you to know when your delivery will be made. In most cases, this email will contain a tracking number and a link to the website of our nominated courier to enable you to track the status of your delivery.
Subject to availability, we will use all reasonable means to deliver the items you have ordered within the time stated for the delivery service you have selected once your order is accepted by us. In rare circumstances we may have to split your order and you might receive multiple parcels, however you will only be charged once for delivery.
We aim to dispatch the items you ordered as soon as practicably possible in order for them to arrive within the target delivery date. Any dates we specify for delivery of goods are approximate and we shall not be liable for any losses, costs, damages, charges or expenses caused by any delay. If we, or our suppliers make a mistake, we will use our best endeavours to rectify the problem and find an outcome that is suitable for you.
We aim to dispatch items that are currently in stock the same day as long as they are ordered before 3pm (excluding Bank Holidays & all 'Virtual Stock' items). If an item is ordered after 3pm, we aim to dispatch the following working day providing the item is currently in stock (excluding Bank Holidays).
It is possible an order will be accepted with insufficient stock to fulfill that order. In this rare event of items being out of stock, we will deliver as soon as new stock arrives unless you request a refund.
In certain exceptional circumstances, such as adverse weather, we may be unable to fulfill your delivery in accordance with these terms. For such exceptions, we may require additional time and effort to fulfill the delivery. If this occurs, we will make our best efforts to deliver your order as soon as we possibly can, or you may opt to cancel and receive a full refund.
We cannot deliver items within the same order to multiple addresses, if you require this then please place separate orders for each address. Each order will be subject to a separate delivery charge.
The following information outlines the varying delivery charges for online orders. Any charges will be calculated on the basis of what you are ordering and where you are asking us to deliver to. You can be confident that you will only pay one delivery charge per order, regardless of how many items are within your order.
