Order confirmation

When we receive your order, we provide you with a confirmation to your email. In addition, when you receive your order confirmation we have pre-authorised your payment method. We check with our warehouse or suppliers to make sure that your desired item is available and can be despatched. In the event that your items are unavailable for immediate despatch, we remove the pre-authorisation from your credit card and send you an email informing you of our actions.* When items are available to be dispatched, we process the charges and prepare to despatch your order.

*In the case of a pre-ordered item, we will inform you of the expected delivery date, which will also be indicated on the product page of the item, and take the payment from your bank account before the item is despatched in order to ensure your item is paid for and guaranteed by the manufacturing supplier in question. 

How will my order be delivered?

All orders will be delivered using the fastest, safest, and most reliable methods of delivery. Once we process your payment, we dispatch your items within the delivery time frame stated on the product page. Then, we send you a despatch notification after your item/s have left the warehouse. We will choose the most suitable delivery method and courier after you order. It's not possible to choose a courier or delivery method yourself.

Right to Cancel

If you are not entirely satisfied with your purchase, we are here to help.

You have the right to cancel your order within 14 days without giving any reason. The cancellation period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you, or a third party other than the carrier indicated by you acquires, takes physical possession of the goods. To exercise the right to cancel, you must inform us of your decision to cancel this contract by a clear statement by email to sales@whenathome.co.uk. 

To meet the cancellation deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right to cancel before the cancellation period has expired.

Once the right to cancel period has expired we may still accept returns, although additional charges will be applicable. However, these regulations do not restrict the statutory right to cancel and do not apply during the 14 days cancellation period. 

Effects of Cancellation 

If you cancel this contract during the 14 day cancellation period, we will reimburse all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us). We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.

We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than –

• (a) 14 days after the day we receive back from you any goods supplied, or
• (b) (if earlier) 14 days after the day you provide evidence that you have returned the goods, or
• (c) if there were no goods supplied, 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to cancel this contract.

We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of the reimbursement. We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest. You shall send back the goods or hand them over to us without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your cancellation from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. 

You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods.

You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

I placed my order but did not receive a confirmation email. Why?

If you recently placed your order and didn't immediately receive a confirmation email from us, then there might be a few issues we can look into: 

1. Our emails might be going to your junk or spam folder
2. There might have been a misspelling when you entered your email address during checkout

To be on the safe side, we encourage our customers to provide an alternate email to sales@whenathome.co.uk.
