Delivery Times

UK Mainland and Islands

We aim to pack and despatch all orders within 24 hours of being received (stock permitting), to arrive with UK Mainland customers within 7 working days (typically 2 – 4 days). During busy periods we will contact you if there are any delays. In the event that an item is temporarily out of stock, we will notify you of the delay and despatch as soon as it arrives.

We use either First Class Royal Mail or Next Day Courier service depending on the size and destination of your order. For courier service a signature is usually required on delivery, please ensure that there will be someone available to receive the goods or if you are not in perhaps a neighbour – alternatively we can deliver to your work place. If you would like to arrange a more specific delivery time please contact us and we will endeavour to arrange the delivery to suit your schedule.

Bespoke and Personalised items:

As these are items are made-to-order please allow 2 weeks for delivery of personalised items.

International Delivery

Most deliveries arrive with 7 - 10 days but the exact delivery date will depend on the final destination and may in exceptional circumstances exceed this time.

Customs

If your delivery address is outside the United Kingdom, you may be subject to import duties and/or taxes. You understand that any and all charges of this nature will be borne by you. interiors@tides will supply a Customs Label containing a brief description, and a valuation of the parcel's contents.

Packaging

To reduce packaging wastage all our boxes are recycled, this means that your order may be sent out in a box which has been sent to us from a supplier. This should in no way compromise your order, but if this causes you any concerns please do not hesitate to contact us.

Payment Methods

We accept Visa Credit, Visa Debit, Visa Electron, MasterCard Credit, MasterCard Debit, American Express, PayPal, JCB, and Maestro. Payment can be taken securely on our interiors@tides website or directly to us over the phone.

Post to: interiors@tides, Fairfield Ave, Bollington Macclesfield, Cheshire SK10 5LZ.

All transactions through our website are made in £ (British Pound Sterling). Our currency converter displays the current currency exchange rate in € (Euros) US$ (US Dollar) and AU$ (Australian Dollar). The exchange rate payable at the time of the transaction is calculated by your card provider. Any refunds made on overseas orders will be transacted in £ sterling.

Terms & Conditions

Making an order

You can place an order for products through our website or if you prefer by phoning us on (01625) 578105.

When you place an order with us, you are making an offer to buy goods. We will send you an e-mail to confirm that we have received your order.

Once we have checked the price and availability of the goods, we will e-mail you again to confirm that we accept your order, and that a contract has been made between us.

In the unlikely event that the goods are no longer available, or that we have made a pricing mistake, we will advise you of this. You will not receive an e-mail confirming acceptance of your order, and there will be no contract between us.

Cancelling an order

This cancellation policy does not affect your rights when we are at fault for example, if goods are faulty or misdescribed.

All orders except personalised items:

You can cancel your order before delivery, and up to 7 working days after delivery. To do this, please contact us either by phone on (01625) 578105, email or in writing. We will refund your money, including the original postage charges, within 30 days.

Personalised items:

Due to their nature of production personalised items can only be cancelled within 24 hours of your order. After we receive your order we send you an email requesting confirmation of the details of your personalised item. Once we receive confirmation from you, personalisation of the item can start at any time after that. You can therefore cancel your order for personalised items at any point up to confirming with us that the details of the order are correct, normally within 24 hours. Orders can be cancelled contacting us either by phone on (01625) 578105, email or in writing. We will refund your money within 30 days once we receive the cancellation. If you cancel after you have confirmed the personalised details then a cancellation fee of 20% of the full selling price will be incurred as it is unlikely that we could sell the product to another customer at the full selling price.

All orders:

When you cancel you do not have to give any reason for the cancellation however a brief explanation would help us to improve the service we offer to customers in the future.

If you cancel after delivery, you must return the goods to us (see below) at your own expense. You are responsible for the risk of loss or damage when you return goods, so you should take out enough postal insurance to cover their value.

If you are unable to return the goods, we will collect them but will have to charge you the full cost of collection. All return items must be resalable in 'as new' condition, therefore they must be in the original wrappings and unused and unassembled (if applicable). If the product has not been returned to us in fully re-saleable condition, we reserve the right to refuse a refund on the item, or deduct up to 20% of the original selling price from the refund amount.

With the exception of faulty goods, return postage cannot be refunded and we are unable to give refunds (if applicable) until the goods have been received by us..

Faulty or damaged goods

Every item in an order is always thoroughly checked prior to despatch. In the unlikely event goods arrive damaged please contact us stating the nature of the problem and we will arrange a replacement for you at no extra charge.

If the goods arrive as described but are found to be faulty within a reasonable time after delivery, then you may reject them and claim a full refund including the cost of returning the item. Please contact us as soon as the fault is found to discuss the matter further.

Returns Procedure

If you wish to return an item please contact us by email or phone within 7 working days of receipt of the goods. If contacting by email please include your full name and address, order details and details of the reason for the return and whether you want a refund or a replacement. We will contact you shortly afterwards to organise the return.

With the exception of faulty goods, return postage cannot be refunded and we cannot give order refunds until the goods have been received back.

When returning goods we strongly recommend you obtain proof of posting (free at the Post Office) as we cannot be responsible for parcels lost in transit.

Refunds

Refunds can only be made to the original card of purchase.

Personalised items cannot be refunded or exchanged unless they are faulty.

We will refund your original delivery charge when a product is faulty or damaged.

All refunds when agreed will be made within 30 days.

Site Security

Recycling & Sustainability

Recycle your old electricals with us!

We’re pleased to offer our customers free recycling on household electrical items.

Unwanted electrical equipment is the UKs fastest growing type of waste, and sending it to landfill causes lead and other toxins to leak out and cause soil and water contamination, harming wildlife and human health.

Fortunately, many electrical items can now be repaired or recycled. That’s why we’re offering free recycling on a like-for-like basis - so when you buy a new item from us, we will make sure your old model is taken care of.

If you’re not sure whether your electrical item can be recycled, have a look for the crossed-out wheelie bin symbol on the packaging, or on the item itself. If the symbol appears on the replacement item, this is also an indication that the old model should be recycled.

The Directive

The Waste Electrical or Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive requires countries to maximise separate collection and environmentally friendly processing of waste electricals. In the UK, that means retailers like us must offer all customers buying new equipment free take-back for their old electricals.

How does it work?

Our 'Take Back' service is available for whatever electrical goods we sell (excluding lamps) which in our case is currently limited to clocks. Whenever you buy a new clock from our website if you wish us to recycle your old clock you have up to 28 days to send the old clock to us. Please be aware you are responsible for any postage costs in sending us the old equipment. When we receive your old goods we will take all necessary steps to recycle the equipment responsibly. If you have any questions please contact us.
