How Do I Return An Item?

Stock items

Stock items are identified by their black numerical codes. If you would like to return a stock item, please contact our Customer Services team within 3 days of receiving your goods. The best way to do this is by completing our online Request a return form. If you need to speak to one of the team please call 0116 265 7901 or email [email protected].

Direct Delivery items

Direct Delivery items are identified by their blue codes beginning with A, N, or X. If you would like to return a Direct Delivery item, please contact our Directs team within 48 hours of receiving your goods. The best way to do this is by completing our online Request a return form. If you need to speak to one of the team please call 0116 265 7901 or email [email protected].

Please be aware that Direct Delivery items are mainly manufactured to customers' individual requirements, and are therefore generally non-returnable (where supplied as ordered). If it is necessary to return anything, please contact our Direct Delivery team as soon as you receive the delivery or at the latest within 48 hours. Please do not return items to a supplier without first speaking to the Direct Delivery team.

If you require the collection of a Direct Delivery item, please be aware that the supplier will only be able to collect this from the nearest under-cover area. If the supplier is unable to make a successful collection on the first attempt, the second visit will be chargeable.

Those suppliers who do agree to collect/remove goods that have been correctly supplied will make a charge for carriage and re-stocking. The charge may represent a percentage of the value of your order. Any goods to be returned must be in their original delivered condition and original packaging.

What Delivery Options Are Available?

Stock items

From our 120,000-square-foot warehouse, we stock up to 10,000 products and deliver them to our customers using our own dedicated fleet. Stock items are identified by their black numerical codes. For these items we offer the following delivery service:

• Free UK mainland delivery on orders of £15 or over.
• Please note that stock orders under £15 will carry a service charge of £5.95. This charge applies to each individual order or transaction; several separate orders for under £15 (excl. VAT) sent together will not prevent multiple service charges from being applied and so we would recommend consolidating your order wherever possible.
• Standard deliveries will arrive within a week of placing your order.
• Deliveries will be made between the hours of 8am and 6pm.
• Next-day delivery service is available from just £6, up to a maximum weight of 25kg. Incremental charges will apply to orders weighing more than 25kg.

• To support our delivery network, deliveries may also be made through one of our partners which include FedEx and Pallex.

For more information about stock deliveries, please contact our Customer Services team.

Direct Delivery items

To complement our stock range we also offer an additional 15,000 products that come directly from our suppliers. Direct Delivery items are identified by their blue codes beginning with A, N, or X.

These items come with their own individual lead times and return conditions. Lead times for Direct Delivery items are shown throughout the ESPO catalogue and website and they will be delivered to the nearest undercover location.
