At Robert Dyas we pride ourselves in offering you excellent service, so we want you to be 100% confident when purchasing from our home shopping service.
Firstly, please make sure that you check your items carefully before you use them. Secondly, we recommend that you keep your receipt or order number, which can be found on your order confirmation email or on the order invoice that comes with your delivery, because you will need it as proof of purchase in the event of any after-sales enquiry.

Our Carriers
Standard deliveries are made by City Link (http://www.city-link.co.uk/) and drivers will attempt the delivery twice, on successive days whenever possible. In the event that you are not home at the time of the delivery, a card will be left. You can then either wait for the second delivery attempt (usually the next working day) or phone the City Link number to make an arrangement to collect from their local depot at a convenient time.
The City Link local depot number will be detailed on the card that is left by the driver.
Tuffnells deliver our Garden Furniture Sets and Awnings on a next day delivery service provided you place your order by 10am . You can select a delivery date of your choice provided you give us at least 72hrs notice (i.e. you place an order Monday afternoon and we can deliver Thursday at the earliest). If you do not specify a delivery date we will deliver on the next available working day.
If we are still unable to make a successful delivery after two attempts, your order will be returned to our warehouse. You can then request the order to be re-delivered but this will incur an extra delivery cost of £5.25 for standard delivery or £15 for premium delivery, unless the delivery error is due to failure on the part of Robert Dyas or our Carriers, in which case Robert Dyas will re-deliver free of charge.
Exceptional circumstances
In certain circumstances, such as traffic accidents, extreme weather conditions or unforeseen technical problems, 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.

Recycling Household Electrical Equipment
With effect form July 2007, the UK's Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Regulations require that all producers of electrical equipment are now obliged to pay for recycling of household electrical goods, where previously this bill was met by councils or items were not recycled at all. These regulations also require that all retailers both actively assist in delivering a UK wide WEEE collection infasturcture and encourage the participation of consumers in recycling electronic equipment.
So that you can get your waste electrical goods recycled, Robert Dyas have contributed towards a national fund to assist local councils to further develop their existing waste electronics collection facilities, which will in turn allow producers of this equipment to meet their obligations.
Not all council sites are suitable to collect all types of waste electrical goods but to find out your nearest participating site (including other collection facilities that may not be operated by the council) and for advice on all aspects of recycling at home, please visit www.recycle-more.co.uk . Don't forget to have your postcode ready to use in the 'recycling facilities' locator.
Electronic waste is one of the fastest growing waste streams and much of it can be recycled and resources recovered to make new consumer goods. To remind consumers of the collection methods available which in turn allow recycling to take place, all electrical items sold now carry the 'crossed ou wheeled bin' symbol. To ensure your waste electronics don't contribute to damaging the enviroment, please use www.recycle-more.co.uk and recycle today.
