What if the parcel is lost or damaged in transit?
If you do not receive your product in a reasonable time (5 days after cleared payment has been received) and there is no reason for the delay, please email in the first instance to enquiries@dahlesales.com with your name, address, telephone number and the product you have purchased.

What is the additional cost of delivery to Scottish Islands, Isle of Man and Ireland?
E4Office Ltd is charged £9.00 +VAT in excess of the normal parcel delivery cost to mainland UK destinations. This additional cost is passed on to you the customer. The normal delivery time is extended by up to an additional 3 days. The delivery cost may be included in the price of the goods for mainland UK deliveries.
What time will the delivery arrive?
Unfortunately we cannot guarantee the date or time of arrival exactly, as courier routes vary depending on the work load for the day/week. However, if you are unavailable when they attempt delivery the carrier will leave an "attempted to deliver" card. Simply call the local number on the card and they will re-deliver. You can also take the card to the courier's local depot, with acceptable proof of identity, and you should be able to collect your parcel. They are usually open till late in the evenings on weekdays and up to 12.00 noon on Saturdays.
"Before 12 noon" deliveries can be arranged on weekdays. They cost a little bit more than the standard delivery.
Deliveries can also be arranged for Saturdays. These do cost more. If you need to have the delivery made only on a Saturday, please call us for the Saturday delivery price.
Do I have to check the parcel on receipt for damage?
It is not practical to check the product on receipt unless there is obvious damage to the packaging. If the parcel has been damaged please reject it and report it to us as soon as possible so that another can be sent out to you. The carrier will return the damaged parcel to us. No courier will wait for two hours till you've unpacked your parcel. They want you to sign that you've received the goods and they want to be on their way.
When accepting goods from a carrier a good safety precaution is to sign for them as received "unchecked". Some couriers have the goods "received in good condition" pre-printed on their form. Do not feel embarrassed to cross it out and replace it with "received unchecked"
