DELIVERY POLICY

Midland Prototyping Ltd receives a lot of packaging protecting the items that we purchase from suppliers. We hate waste, so we have taken the decision to reuse as much packaging as we can to reduce the amount that we throw away. This means that, where possible, we may reuse packaging to ship items to you, which could mean that the bubble wrap, foam packaging or outer box isn’t brand new. Please don’t worry though, we will only reuse packaging if we are confident that it will offer the protection your item requires.

Orders placed through Midland Prototyping Ltd, may be delivered from several different locations. As such, items may be delivered at different times to other items within the same order. If this is an issue, and you would prefer to receive all items at once, please contact us at sales@midlandprototyping.uk.

Please be aware that choosing to consolidate your items into a single shipment may incur additional costs, as items will need to be shipped to one location before shipping on to your chosen address.

Stock orders are generally picked and packed within 48 hours of your order being received by Midland Prototyping. Exemptions include a) pre-order items, b) made to order / custom orders, for example items that have been chosen in a non-standard paint finish, or items that are manufactured to order, c) out of stock items. We do our best to ensure that items with longer than usual lead times are clearly stated on the site, and / or customers are made aware after ordering.

Although we make every effort to deliver items within 1-2 days or within the timescales stated on our website, we cannot guarantee that couriers or delivery agents won’t fail in their duty to deliver goods successfully and on time. The delivery contract is between Midland Prototyping Ltd and the courier, however Midland Prototyping Ltd may require the customer’s assistance to provide evidence or other information to the courier.

In the event of an item being lost during delivery by the courier, Midland Prototyping Ltd are unable to refund or send out a replacement until the courier confirms via official channels that they cannot locate the item or the item is returned back to us, as the majority of the time the parcel is located when an investigation is raised, and the courier successfully delivers it shortly afterwards. In such an instance, we would advise the customer re-orders if they require the item sooner, and Midland Prototyping Ltd will arrange a full refund once the original item is returned or confirmed lost.

If ordering from abroad, please ensure items are legal / can be imported into your country. Refunds will not be provided if items are confiscated and disposed of by customs.
