Delivery Policy

Our standard delivery service is Royal Mail Economy Signed. You must sign for your order upon delivery, this confirms you have received the order. The cost of delivery is calculated depending on cart contents & is clearly shown on all cart pages & payment pages. Orders placed (completed & paid for) by 4.30pm Monday-Friday will ship the same day subject to stock, customers can expect items the following business day in most cases or within 1-3 business days as stated by Royal Mail. Shipping prices & timescales are for the UK only.

We make every effort to deliver the goods as soon as possible after your order has been accepted. However, run-IT-direct will not be liable for any loss or damage suffered by you through reasonable or unavoidable delay in delivery.

We have delivery upgrades with guaranteed delivery timescales; please see the delivery page for full details. Our site shows live stock status, if an item is marked as out of stock a date will be displayed showing when we expect more stock, this is subject to change & is intended as a guide only.

Where a "next day" option is stated this refers to next working day-Monday-Friday excluding bank holidays.

If a "next day" option is not delivered within the guaranteed timescale we will not be responsible for any consequential loss you may incur. We will refund the additional price of the upgrade in FULL, the standard* delivery costs will remain payable.

*The price of delivery had the next day option not been selected.

Lost Mail Claims Procedure

We send ALL orders via a service that requires a signature so lost items are VERY rare. If your order has not arrived after 7 working days from the order INVOICE DATE please contact us via EMAIL quoting your order number. Once the claim is logged with us we have to wait 15 working days from the INVOICE DATE. If your item(s) arrive in this period please contact us so the claim can be discarded. Once the period required by Royal Mail has elapsed we will contact you again to confirm the order has still not been received. We will then proceed to make the claim with Royal Mail on your behalf. Royal Mail will investigate the claim & refund you DIRECTLY in full should the claim be validated.

If you require replacements these will need to be re-ordered via our website, we are unable to duplicate your original order.

All claims are dealt with directly by Royal Mail's claims office as Royal Mail is the insurer. Royal Mail estimate claims are generally settled within 2-4 weeks pending the outcome of their investigations for Inland United Kingdom Customers. A full refund will only be issued following Royal Mail's completed investigation.

Please note that Royal Mail have stated that a false claim for compensation could result in a criminal prosecution.
