If paying by card, please supply the card number and security number, the expiry date and the name and address of the cardholder. Your payment will not be processed until the goods are ready for despatch.
Please make cheques payable to Touchstone Tonewoods. To avoid overpayments, which may occur if items ordered are out of stock, please leave amounts blank and endorse with an upper limit 'not to exceed (value of order)'. We will then complete the amount with the exact value of the invoice.
Please supply your name, delivery address including postcode, and a daytime telephone contact number. This will enable us to process orders quickly and will also help should you wish to place further orders with us in the future.
If any item ordered is out of stock, we will where possible supply the nearest equivalent from stock unless requested not to do so. Unfulfilled orders will be credited or refunded.
PRICES Whilst every attempt is made to adhere to prices quoted in our catalogue and on our website, prices charged are those ruling at the time of despatch. Unless otherwise stated, RRP prices shown on the Touchstone Tonewoods website, pricelists and flyers include United Kingdom VAT at the current rate. Price changes due to changes in VAT rates, currency fluctuations, or other factors beyond our control may be applied without prior notice.
DELIVERY AND PACKAGING CHARGES
For orders to UK mainland addresses, our delivery and packaging charge is £5.00+VAT. Large and heavy orders are sent by UPS which requires a signature on delivery. Orders over a value of £50 + VAT will be sent with no delivery and packaging charges.
Offshore charges are calculated at checkout on our website or are available on request. These charges are subject to change without notice.
Goods may not be returned for replacement or credit without first obtaining a 'Returns Reference number' from our sales office. This number must be quoted on the carton being returned. Adequate packing of goods being returned is the customer's responsibility. When any of these conditions are not met, or the reason for return is not clearly our liability, the return may be refused or a handling and restocking charge may be levied at our discretion. No timber can be accepted back once work has been started on it.
CARRIAGE CLAIMS
Claims for loss or damage to items in transit or short shipments must be made immediately or within 7 working days of the date of despatch as shown on the transport note.

PARCELS MUST ALWAYS BE SIGNED FOR AS 'UNEXAMINED'
ONLY SIGN FOR THE NUMBER OF PARCELS DELIVERED AT THAT TIME
If this standard procedure is not followed, claims for damage to items in transit or short shipments cannot be considered.
OTHER CLAIMS
