Making A Purchase

ELintels have made our purchasing system as simple as possible and very user friendly.

Simply browse around our huge selection of lintels and related products and select the product that is right for you. This product will then be added to your checkout page. When you have finished adding your selections, click on 'Checkout' and you will be required to give a few simple details to complete your order.

We accept all major credit and debit cards (exc Amex) and will also accept payment via Paypal. Payment is taken and processed immediately via Barclaycard merchant services. Once payment is made you will receive confirmation that your order is being processed and does not indicate that a contract exists between us. We will indicate acceptance of your order, and hence a contract between us, on receipt of your invoice from us. This is to protect us from pricing being inaccurate or our failure to be able to supply a particular product. This however, should be a very rare occurrence. In the event of a price increase by our suppliers, we will always contact you first to ensure that the price is acceptable.

Description of Goods

Quantity and description of the goods are set out in the confirmation of order.

Drawings, photographs, specifications and advertising are published for the sole purpose of giving an approximate idea of the described goods. They do not form part of the contract and this is not a sale by sample.

When fine or special tolerances are required in the goods supplied beyond those generally accepted in the building trade, no liability shall attach to us unless such tolerances are notified in writing to us at the time of order and we have acknowledged in writing that we are prepared to accept such order.

Delivery of Goods

When placing your order you will be asked for a preferred delivery time and address and any special instructions regarding access etc.

Delivery shall occur when you take possession of the goods where we agree to deliver. All dates and times we specify for delivery of the goods are an estimate. We shall not be liable to you if we do not deliver on or at any particular date or time. Time for any delivery shall not be made of the essence by notice. If you fail to accept delivery of any goods when they are ready for delivery, or we are unable to deliver the goods because you have not provided appropriate instructions, documents or consents, we shall be entitled to immediate full payment and risk in the goods shall pass to you.

Delivery is to "kerbside" and is at the driver’s discretion as to whether they enter the property to unload, Elintels will not be held liable for any damage incurred.
