Delivery:


P&P charge applies, all orders shipped to the Channel Islands, Northern Ireland, Scottish Islands and BFPO addresses will have a Extra charge applied. Items ordered will be delivered as soon as possible and we aim to process each order within 24 hours of receipt. Although you can have the goods delivered to any address within the U.K. we recommend that there be someone to sign for the goods upon delivery to speed up the delivery time and avoid any delays. Deliveries are usually between Mon-Fri (9.00am - 5.30pm). We reserve the right to deliver the goods to the cardholder's address.

Redirection of Consignment Once Despatched:


Unfortunately, we regret to say there is up to a £10.00 surcharge should the parcel need to be re-routed to a different address once dispatched (We do recommend that all orders are sent to an address where a signature is available). This is because we are charged for this service by our couriers and we cannot absorb this cost. We reserve the right to change the delivery prices without prior notice. While we make every effort to ensure that delivery takes place within 24-48 hours, we cannot guarantee any delivery times. Delivery to non-mainland UK destinations may incur a delay in delivery. In the event that we cannot deliver your order or a part of your order we will endeavor to inform you within three working days via email. If Royal Mail or Parcel Force attempt delivery and there is no-one available to sign for the parcel a card will be left which will include details regarding what to do next. Delivery is normally attempted once by Royal Mail and twice by Parcel Force on consecutive working days. If you have any problems or question regarding the above please email: info@equipyourtrip.com


Price and Print Errors:


Whilst we make every effort to ensure that all details and images published are correct no responsibility will be accepted for errors and omissions. We reserve the right to alter specifications and prices without notice. Occasionally when we remove products and especially if you find a product through a search engine the item will display at £0.00. This is because search engines sometimes provide stored, cached pages (old 'copies') to speed the search process up. We reserve the right to refuse sale in this situation. Please go to http://www.equipyourtrip.com, clear your computer's Temporary Internet Files (e.g in Microsoft Internet Explorer go to the Tools menu > Internet Options > Delete Files) then refresh the page. If you then try looking for the item it should not display.
