Description of Goods

All images, descriptive content and material specifications on our website are for the sole purpose of giving an approximate description of the goods.

Accuracy of Product Information

All product specifications, images and other information published on our website have either been made accessible by suppliers, manufacturer’s, publications, publicists, or been gathered from public-domain sources. Steel Shop Online have attempted to keep all information as accurate and as up to date as possible, however we cannot guarantee that this is the case for all of the information on this website. All actions taken by the customer are the responsibility of that individual.

Payment and Price

The total price payable for the goods will be calculated when you place your order, whether or not the order has been confirmed. We are entitled to make price adjustments to allow for any increase in supplier prices, imposition of taxes or duties, or due to an error or omission in the price published, whether or not the order has been confirmed. We will inform you of the correct price and give you the opportunity to cancel. All prices on our website are exclusive of VAT and of delivery charges which will be payable as indicated at the time of placing your order.

We reserve the right to apply a delivery surcharge on orders that are heavy, long or being delivered to a remote address. If additional charges apply we will contact you prior to the order being dispatched at which point you will have the option to pay the surcharge or cancel the order.

Please note that Steel Shop Online does not offer shipping outside of the UK and therefore VAT is applied on all orders. In the event that you make your own arrangements to ship goods outside of the UK and request a VAT refund then a £20 admin charge will be payable.

Payment Methods

We accept all major Credit and Debit Cards (excluding American Express) via the Stripe platform. On the order you must provide us with your exact billing address, delivery address (if different) and telephone number. Incorrect information will cause a delay in the order processing. Your order will only be processed once authorisation of your credit card has been properly received. 

Availability of Goods

All products are subject to availability and may be withdrawn at any time. If we do not supply the goods for any reason we will not charge you and will refund any monies already paid. However, we will not be responsible for compensating you for any other losses you may suffer if the goods are not supplied. All prices on our website are exclusive of delivery charges. Delivery charges will be calculated and added to the price of the products at checkout.

Typographical Errors

In an event that a product is listed at an incorrect price due to a pricing or typographical error, changes in taxes or duty, we shall have the right to cancel or refuse any order including products listed at the incorrect price whether or not the order has been confirmed. If your credit card has already been charged and we subsequently cancel your order, we will immediately issue a refund to your card for the value of the incorrect price, including delivery fees.

Cancelling or Changing an Order

We are unable to change an order once it has been placed. If your order is incorrect, please email us immediately on support@steelshoponline.co.uk, weekdays between 8am – 5pm so that we can attempt to cancel it before it is cut and dispatched. However due to our quick turnaround, Steel Shop Online is unable to guarantee this. If the order is not custom cut, please refer to our returns policy for returning goods.

Any delivery dates we specify are approximate only and we shall not be liable for any losses, costs, damages, charges, or expenses caused by any delay for delivery of the goods. If any product is temporarily out of stock, we will notify you of this as soon as possible. You should allow up to 28 days for dispatch of the goods. For delays of more than 28 days, you will have the right to cancel the order for a full refund.
