Despatch and Delivery Information
All shipping times stated on FlexibleFlueLiners.com do not include despatch time, which is usually within 24 working hours, but can be up to a maximum of 3 business days during the peak winter season. Only orders placed and confirmed by 8am will be processed and despatched the same day as ordering. You will receive an email letting you know when your order has been dispatched (‘completed’). Despatch and deliveries occur on business days only (Mon-Fri exc. Bank holidays) and so, for example, an order placed at 9am on a Friday will not be processed until at least the following Monday. Delivery would then take place on the Tuesday for a next day shipping or up to 5 further business days for standard services. Please allow the stated time frame of your chosen carriage option to pass before chasing your delivery; next business day (2-day for Highlands & islands) or up to 5 business days (Courier or Royal Mail).
Please be advised not to book any installers, engineers or contractors until you are in receipt of all goods. FlexibleFlueLiners.com hold no responsibility for any unexpected delays with delivery of goods.
Free Delivery
We offer free shipping exceeding £180 including vat (£150 excluding vat) before shipping, to the majority of mainland UK addresses. The free shipping option will be for either a Royal Mail standard service or, where this is not available due to weight/size of items, our standard courier up to 5 business day service. Next day or express services are not included in this offer. Unfortunately, we are unable to offer this promotion to customers in areas deemed by couriers as ‘Highland & Islands’, nor does this apply to orders containing non-stocked goods shipped directly from the manufacturer such as Flue Cubes, Wharfe Valley hearths or Calfire Fireside products. Please ensure you choose the £0.00 shipping option at the checkout as this cannot be refunded retrospectively.
Receiving Stoves or Large Palletised Orders
All stoves or bulk orders of goods will be palletised and delivered on a one-man, curb-side service only meaning that depending upon the conditions, drivers may refuse to deliver to the location of your choice. You are advised to ensure you have adequate man power to accept delivery of an order that will be shipped on a pallet, to move it from the curb side to the location required. This is the responsibility of the customer. Failure to accept delivery or request redelivery can incur additional charges.
Signing For Deliveries – Specifically Stoves
It is essential that all goods (especially stoves) are checked before being signed for. If an item is damaged, sign for the item as ‘damaged’, notify the driver and FlexibleFlueLiners.com within 7 days. By failing to do so, you are accepting responsibility for any damage discovered thereafter, voiding any claim. Any claims of damage raised after 7 days will not be honoured due to the length of time the item has been stored and handled, unadvised.

Royal Mail 24 tracked/ untracked will aim to deliver in one working day however this is not a guaranteed service, this could possibly take up to two working days. Royal Mail 48 tracked/ untracked will aim to deliver your parcel within two – three working days however this is not a guaranteed service, this could possibly take up to three to four working days.
