Pricing and availability
We indicate product availability information for products sold by us on our web site; this is usually shown on each product information page. Beyond what we indicate on our product information pages or in certain instances elsewhere on the web site, we cannot be more specific about product availability and you should be aware that statements of availability that we may make are only indicative and are not guaranteed.
Dispatch estimates are just that. They are indicative and not guaranteed dispatch times and should not be relied upon as such. As we process your order, we will inform you by e-mail if any products you order have become unavailable.
Despite our best efforts, a tiny number of the many thousands of products in our catalogue can from time to time be mis-priced when prices are displayed. This is usually because our suppliers' prices are themselves subject to global market-forces and sudden change. Prices shown are indicative and not guaranteed and should be seen only as an 'offer to treat' with us. Rest assured, however, that we verify prices as part of our dispatch procedures. If a product's correct price is lower than our stated price, we always charge the lower amount and send you the product. If a product's correct price is higher than our stated price, we will, at our sole discretion, either contact you for instructions before dispatch or cancel your order and notify you of such cancellation.
Title
Title to the goods remains with UK Vending at all times until the goods are paid for in full and including all delivery or collection charges, VAT or other taxes or penalties that may apply.
Delivery scale
