Collection In Person:
Usually anything sold through this webstore, can be purchased and/or collected in person; however, please contact
LDW Trading prior to making, or immediately following, your purchase should you be intending to do this.
All payments for such purchases should be in cash or sent prior to collection, in the case of cheques and postal orders, with at least four working days for clearance of cheques, crossed postal orders, BACs and IBTs into our account. No exceptions can be made for guaranteed cheques.
Feedback:
A buyer's confirmation of receipt for their goods or service, as feedback or a review, is always appreciated,
even if only in the form of an email confirming receipt of their order.
If a buyer is not happy with any aspect of their purchase or service, or should their item(s) have been damaged during delivery, it would also be appreciated if they could contact
LDW Trading, so we can sort the order out and, if possible, improve things to avoid a re-occurence of the same thing happening again in the future.
Christmas/New Year Orders:
Cut-off date for delivery by Christmas: 15 December and upto 22 December by courier, or 24 December for New Year delivery.
Cut-off date for non-UK orders: 10 December (Eire or Europe for Christmas), 20 December (Eire or Europe for New Year), 20 November (any other country outside of the EEC for Christmas), or 1 December (any other country outside of the EEC for New Year).
These dates are intended as a guide only. Delivery times for orders outside of Europe can vary considerably.
Any orders that may potentially be affected by cut-off dates will still be processed at the earliest possible date, but with no guarantee on the likelihood of being delivered in time for Christmas or the New Year.
