Cancellation/Return

Order Cancellation/Changes:
Once an order has been placed it will be processed immediately. This means that we cannot prevent it from being dispatched, or amend the delivery address, or change the quantity or item being ordered, as it will be in amongst hundreds of other parcels in sealed, weighed bags awaiting collection by our couriers.
This means if you wish to cancel the order you will need to send the goods back to us, after obtaining a Returns Authorisation Number (please see Returns Tab). 

Return Unwanted Items:
We recommend that you return products by recorded delivery or by a carrier that requires a signature.
Kettering Koi & ponds Ltd., accepts no responsibility for goods returned to us that are not received unless signed proof of delivery can be provided.

On safe return of the product the purchase price of the goods will be refunded. The item must be returned unused, in all original packaging to obtain a refund.
Please note that where we have sent goods out with "Free Postage" we still incur postage costs and the equivalent of these will be deducted from any refund to cover administration and re-stocking fees.

Damaged Goods:
Damages or shortages must be notified to Kettering Koi & Ponds within 24 hours of receipt, either by eBay messaging system, email or telephone. Any claims after this timescale may not be entertained.

Non Receipt

Royal Mail:

Please allow a sensible time lapse before telephoning to enquire about non delivery. Goods sent by Royal Mail should normally arrive 2-3 days after payment. Before telephoning us please contact your local Post Office, as the most common reason for non receipt is that they are holding the parcel because they were unable to deliver it.

Royal Mail do not consider an item lost until 15 working days have elapsed from postage.

We will rearrange a delivery from your local PO depot assuming it is being held there, and if it still does not arrive, will then proceed with refunding or replacing via a non delivery case on eBay.

Carrier Shipments:

Goods should arrive in 2 - 3 days from cleared payment (weekends excluded).
You will have received a notification from the courier to your email address with a tracking number. Please first check the courier website for details, prior to telephoning us.

Terms/Warranty

Please note for obvious reasons Glass items are not covered by warranty.

Warranty
If you have received incorrect or damaged goods, or wish to return unwanted goods please see our Returns or Non Receipt Tabs

The Kettering Koi & Ponds Ltd., guarantee is in addition to and does not affect your statutory rights.

The guarantee is available to the original purchaser only when accompanied with the original receipt.

This guarantee is non transferable.

The guarantee applies to the product only and does not cover any consequential losses.

The guarantee applies to material and manufacturing defects only, under normal domestic use in the United Kingdom.

The guarantee does not cover faults caused by factors outside the manufacturers control, including failure to follow the user guide and maintenance instructions, normal wear and tear, accidental or wilful misuse of the product, inappropriate storage methods and or inappropriate cleaning, modification or alteration of the product.

The guarantee does not cover parts subject to normal wear and tear, for example pump impellers, filter sponges, air pump diaphragms, batteries etc.

The guarantee does not cover glass items, for example aquarium heaters, uv quartz tubes and uv bulbs.

The guarantee does not cover return postage costs for items over 6 months old.

Items offered Free are sent out as gifts to the customer and as such will not be covered by a guarantee.

The guarantee does not cover maintenance issues including the replacement of wearable parts.

Pond pumps and filters will require maintaining and cleaning over their lifetime. If you live in a hard water area it may be necessary to clean these items with a suitable lime scale remover (we recommend Superfish Pump Clean). Lime scale will cause undue wear and damage to pumps and filters, and therefore the guarantee will be voided if returned items are affected by this problem.

Should an item develop a fault within its guarantee period, it may be sent back to Kettering Koi & Ponds Ltd., for repair or replacement, or taken to our warehouse with your purchase receipt. If returning by carrier or post you must obtain a Returns Authorisation Number from us and enclose that information with the product.
Repairs or replacement under the guarantee will be carried out as quickly as possible however you should allow up to 30 days for this.

Faulty items will be tested and if a claim is made under this guarantee and the defect is not due to faulty materials or manufacture, or the product is found to be in working order, Kettering Koi & Ponds Ltd will return the product to the customer. The customer will be responsible for all postage costs. These include the cost of sending the item back to us in the first instant, plus a £15 fee to cover the engineer's time and the return carriage to the customer. If after 14 days the customer makes no arrangement or payment for the return of non-faulty products they will incur storage charges at the rate of £5.00 per week until we receive instructions for either the return or authorization to dispose of the product under the WEE regulations.
