Delivery

Do you offer free delivery?

Yes. We offer free delivery on eligible orders to UK mainland addresses. Any delivery restrictions or additional charges that apply to a particular destination will be displayed during checkout where applicable.

Do you offer next working day delivery?

Yes. We offer free next working day delivery on eligible in-stock products and qualifying UK mainland orders placed before the applicable daily cut-off time. Delivery times may vary for some locations, weekends, bank holidays and during exceptionally busy periods.

When will my order be dispatched?

We aim to dispatch in-stock orders as quickly as possible. Orders received before our daily dispatch cut-off will normally be processed the same working day where eligible.

Which couriers do you use?

Depending on the size, weight and destination of your order, we use established delivery companies including DPD, Royal Mail, DHL and FedEx.

Will I receive tracking information?

Where tracking is available, tracking details will normally be provided once your order has been dispatched. You can use these details to follow the progress of your delivery.

Will all the items in my bundle arrive together?

Not necessarily. Some of our larger kitchen bundles contain several individual products and may be dispatched as multiple parcels. Parcels can occasionally travel separately through a courier network, so one part of your order may arrive before another.

What should I do if only part of my order has arrived?

If your order contains several items, please check your tracking information first as the remaining parcel may still be in transit. If you are concerned that an item is missing, contact our customer service team with your order details and we will investigate.

What happens if my delivery is delayed?

Although the majority of orders arrive within the expected delivery period, delays can occasionally occur within courier networks. Please check your tracking information for the latest update. If there appears to be a problem, contact our customer service team and we will be happy to assist.

Payments & Orders

How can I pay for my order?

Available payment methods are displayed securely during checkout. Payment options may vary depending on the device, order value and payment services currently available on our website.

Is it safe to order online from The Hale Retail Company?

Yes. Orders placed through our website are processed using secure ecommerce and payment technology. We do not ask customers to send card details by email or through social media messages.

How do I know if my order has been successful?

Once your order has been successfully placed, you should receive an order confirmation using the contact details supplied during checkout. Please check your email spam or junk folder if you cannot see the confirmation.

Can I change or cancel an order after placing it?

Please contact us as quickly as possible if you need to change or cancel an order. We process orders quickly, so once an order has entered the dispatch process we may be unable to amend or cancel it before delivery.

Returns, Faults & Damaged Items

Can I return an unwanted item?

Yes. Consumers purchasing online have statutory cancellation and return rights. Please refer to our current Returns Policy for full details, including applicable timescales, conditions and instructions for returning an unwanted product.

What should I do if my item arrives damaged?

Please contact our customer service team as soon as possible if an item arrives damaged. Keep the product and its packaging and, where requested, provide clear photographs showing the damage and packaging. This helps us investigate the issue and arrange the appropriate resolution.

What should I do if I receive the wrong item?

Please contact us with your order number and details of the product received. Our customer service team will check your order and advise you on the next steps.

What happens if my product develops a fault?

If you believe your product has developed a fault, please contact our customer service team or follow the manufacturer's guarantee procedure where appropriate. The correct process can depend on the product, brand, age of the item and nature of the fault.

Do I need to keep the original packaging?

We recommend keeping the original product packaging, particularly during the initial return period. Original packaging can make it easier and safer to return an item if necessary.

Kitchen Bundles & Matching Sets

Are all items in a kitchen bundle from exactly the same range?

We clearly describe what is included in each bundle. Most sets combine products from the same collection.

Where appropriate, we identify compatible matching products within the listing.

Can I choose a different colour for one item in a bundle?

Our standard bundles are supplied in the combination shown on the product page. If you require a different combination, browse our other available bundle options as we often create several variations from the same kitchen collection.

Shopping On Other Marketplaces

Our website provides access to our current direct range of products and kitchen bundle sets. Product ranges, prices, promotions and availability can differ between our website and third-party marketplaces.

Product Availability

Why has a product disappeared from your website?

Products may be removed when they are sold out, discontinued by the manufacturer or no longer available from our suppliers. Some popular collections may return to stock, while discontinued lines may only be available while remaining stock lasts.

Do you sell discontinued or end-of-line kitchen collections?

From time to time we may have remaining stock of discontinued or end-of-line collections. Availability is usually limited and, once the remaining stock has sold, we may be unable to obtain additional units.

Are products shown on your website in stock?

We work hard to keep product availability accurate. Stock can change quickly, particularly on popular or end-of-line products. Where an item is available to order, its current availability will normally be displayed on the product page.
