Delivery

How will my appliances be delivered?

Your goods will be delivered by our dedicated carrier service between 7am and 7pm.

Where can you deliver?

We'll deliver appliances to any address within mainland UK FREE of charge using our flexible delivery service. *Delivery to Northern Ireland is charged at £15.

* Unfortunately, we can't deliver to you if you're located in the Scottish Highlands, Scottish Islands, Channel Islands, the Isle of Man or the Republic of Ireland.

Do I have to wait in all day for my delivery?

No. We'll call you on the day of your delivery to confirm your estimated delivery slot. You're also able to see where your delivery is using our Track Your Order service. This will literally "track" the delivery team and give you an estimated time of delivery to your property. It's real time so if your delivery is delayed, then Track Your Order will know this and update your estimated delivery time accordingly. This will help you plan your day without having to waste time waiting around. This service is available from the morning of your delivery day and can be accessed through the website, your Order Acknowledgement email or by visiting www.appliancesonline.co.uk/yourorder.

How do I find out when my appliances will be delivered?

We confirm this to you at the point of choosing your delivery date. In the few cases where we can't confirm this at the point of order, a member of our team will contact you to agree a convenient delivery day and confirm the stock is available.

What happens if you can't deliver?

Occasionally we may experience delivery restrictions in your area beyond our control. For example bad weather closing roads. We'll always try our best to deliver and if we think your order may be affected, we'll block out those dates in your delivery calendar.

How long does it normally take for my appliance to arrive?

All appliances come from our central warehouse and are normally available for delivery to all mainland UK postcode areas* in 3-7 working days. For Northern Ireland this will be slightly longer and your appliances will normally arrive within 14 working days.

* Unfortunately, we can't deliver to you if you're located in the Scottish Highlands, Scottish Islands, Channel Islands, the Isle of Man or the Republic of Ireland.

Delivery lead times may vary dependant on the appliance type, manufacturer or stock availability. Please check individual items for estimated delivery lead times. If for any reason this is not going to be the case, you will be informed within 48 hours of placing your order.

What if I'm in a hurry?

Those of our customers who are in a hurry tend to opt for our 'Next Day' service so they can get their appliances even quicker.*

*Please note, you must order before 10pm.

Can I delay my delivery?

Yes you can. Placing the order secures the price for you. We can then organise your delivery on a date that suits you.

No. There's no extra charge for weekend deliveries. We only charge if it's a next day delivery. So if Saturday or Sunday falls into the next day delivery option then there will be a charge for this quick delivery service.

Recycling and the WEEE Directive

What is WEEE Directive?

WEEE stands for Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment. With effect from July 2007, the WEEE regulations require that all retailers both actively assist in delivering a UK wide WEEE collection infrastructure and encourage the participation of consumers in recycling electronic equipment. Producers of Electrical and Electronic EEE will be required to finance the collection, treatment, recovery and environmentally sound disposal of EEE at its end of life.

What does the new directive mean for the retailer?

We want to help the UK become a greener place to live and as a result we’re right behind the WEEE directive. We take our role as a responsible retailer very seriously and always strive to do what we can to help the environment.

We’re proud to be recommended by the Energy Saving Trust as a retailer of energy saving appliances and actively encourage our customers to buy Green.

What does the new directive mean for the environment?

We all like to do our bit for the environment and here at Appliances Online we’re no different. Instead of your old appliances going to land fill, it will be treated separately and disposed of in an environmentally sound way.

Can you take away and recycle my old appliance?

Of course we can. For a cost of £9.99 we can take away your old appliance and recycle it for you. Please make sure you request this service when you check out.

So that we can take your old appliance away, you will need to make sure that it has been completely disconnected from all water, electrical and gas supplies in advance. We also need the appliance to be emptied and defrosted (if it’s a freezer or fridge freezer) before we take it away too.

We currently don’t offer any disconnection service on gas or mains wired electrical products. You’ll need a Gas Safe registered engineer to disconnect these appliances for you. All mains wired electric cookers should only be disconnected by a qualified technician.

All the goods collected for recycling are deemed to have zero value.

We’re sorry that we can only provide this service to certain UK postcodes at the moment.

Will my old appliance not be disposed of correctly if I choose not to have my old appliance taken away by Appliances Online?

If you decide not to opt for our full recycling service, we have contributed towards a fund which will help local councils to develop and improve their existing WEEE collection facilities. Not all council sites are able to collect all types of waste electrical goods but to find your nearest participating site, and for advice on all aspects of recycling at home, please visit www.recycle-more.co.uk

Alternatively, if you wish to return your appliance to us with no charge, it can be accepted at our distributor’s premises at the following address:

Expert Logistics
Weston Road
Crewe
Cheshire
CW1 6BE

Appliances can be accepted from Monday to Friday, 10am to 4pm. As you would expect, they’ll need proof of your delivery and they can only accept like for like items to those that were delivered.
