When we receive your order, we provide you with a confirmation to your email. In addition, when you receive your order confirmation we have pre-authorised your payment method. We check with our warehouse or suppliers to make sure that your desired item is available and can be dispatched. In the event that your items are unavailable for immediate dispatch, we remove the pre-authorisation from your credit card and send you an email informing you of our actions. When items are available to be dispatched, we process the charges and prepare to dispatch your order. If you want to cancel your order after it has been dispatched and/or in transit, you will be asked to wait for the item to be returned to us either by you or our carrier.

All orders will be delivered using the fastest, safest, and most reliable methods. Once we process your payment, we dispatch your items within the delivery time frame stated on the product page. Then, we send you a dispatch notification after your item/s have left the warehouse. We will choose the most suitable delivery method and courier after you order. It's not possible to choose a courier or delivery method yourself.

In case of unexpected delay resulting from the carrier's part, the delivery date shall be postponed up to 60 days after the conclusion of the contract.

About Kerbside Delivery

A kerbside delivery means that the items will be delivered to the nearest kerbside at the given shipping address. Our freight driver will position their vehicle as close as possible to the delivery address and unload the goods into a spot on the kerbside that is safe and keeps your item secure.

Thus, make sure that there is someone on site to accept the goods.

*** Update: Please note that the carrier for a kerbside delivery is not obligated to enter your house for their own safety due to governmental restriction.

What if there are damages to the packaging?

We strongly advise you to check the item, especially for any packaging damage, before signing the delivery. In the event of damage, please take a picture and kindly refuse the delivery. In this case, if you wish to accelerate the replacement process, please send us an email at info@urtepaula.com, describing your case with your order number and the pictures. One of our agents will be dedicated to you until we have shipped the replacement to you.

What if there is no damage to the packaging but the item is damaged?

We strongly advise you to unpack the item, and look for any signs of damage. Once the goods are signed, we cannot guarantee the claim for damage will be accepted.

When should the damage be notified?

We will not accept claims for damage if this hasn’t been noted within 24h after the delivery. But we will always look for a suitable solution.

What happens if I cancel my order before it is dispatched?

If you cancel your order but the item hasn’t been dispatched, then there will be no charge.

What happens if I cancel my order after it is dispatched?

If you want to cancel your order after it has been dispatched or in transit, you will be asked to wait for the item to be returned to us either by you or our carrier. In this case, we will deduct the cost of the initial delivery from the refund. We estimated in 2020/21 that the average shipping cost for small and/or lightweight items was between £10+ VAT to £45+ VAT, and for large and/or items between £45+ VAT to £100+ VAT.

We strongly advise you to check the dimensions of the product before placing the order.

Why do you need to follow this step by step guide below?

You should always check all goods at the time of delivery. We recommend that you look for any damages on the packaging before signing and accepting them. We will not be able to accept any claims for damages if you have signed and accepted the items and notified us after 24h. To make your case stronger, we also advise you to take pictures and send them to us. This will help us speed up the replacement process.

Step by Step Guide:

We strongly recommend to follow this step by step guide:

1. If our delivery team has not already checked the packaging, please verify that there is no damage on the packaging.
2. We strongly recommend that you take the item out to verify that the item was not damaged. Inspect carefully all the sides, corners, doors, and any missing parts if applicable.
3. If there is no damage, accept and sign the delivery.
4. If there is damage, please do not accept or sign (you can instead write that you have refused the delivery as the goods was damaged)
5. If you wish to make your case stronger in the event of damages on the packages, we recommend that you take a picture before sending an email to us with the order number and a short description of what happens.

Once the delivery is signed, we cannot be liable or held responsible for any damages and the customer is required to prove to us that damage was there before delivery within 24h after receiving the goods. But we will always look for a suitable solution. If there are damages, please send us the picture within this 24h time period.

Please make sure that anyone who signs your delivery on your behalf (must be over 18 year old) or accepts a delivery for you understands those steps mentioned above, as they will be held responsible for accepting or not the delivery.

What if the deliveries are unsuccessful?

For most of our products, you will be given either an agreed day for the delivery via email or a tracking number to which the delivery can be rescheduled if needed. In these cases, the customer will be held responsible for being present for their delivery as freight companies contact the customers prior to their delivery day.

If the delivery fails because there is nobody available to receive it on the delivery day or fails because of any other reason out of our control, then a re-delivery charge will be applied for the failure.

If the delivery fails because there is nobody available to receive it on the delivery day or fails because of any other reason out of our control, but our carrier has left the item at your doors or to one of their nearest depots, the customer will be held responsible for the failure and extra cost may be applied.

*** Update: Please note that the carrier for a kerbside delivery is not obligated to enter your house for their own safety due to governmental restriction.
