1.13 Orders placed via the Millhousewood website will create a contract between Millhouse World of Wood Ltd and the customer placing the order.
Sale Basis
1.14 These Terms and Conditions set out the entire relationship between Millhouse World of Wood Ltd and you, the customer, for the sale of goods. Please ensure that you read and understand these Terms and Conditions as these terms are binding upon placement of an order.
1.15 Any samples, drawings, descriptions or advertising that appear on the BurnBest site or in any marketing material, are provided to give you an approximation of the goods they represent. They do not form part of the contract between the parties – in particular promotional pricing will be superseded by the pricing indicated on the site and confirmed in your order confirmation.
1.16 You are considered to have placed an order and entered a binding contract with Millhouse World of Wood Ltd when you have:
1.16.1 Ticked that you have accepted the Terms and Conditions on the website; and
1.16.2 You have made payment for the goods ordered. All payments are in GBP (£).
1.17 On completion of your order you will be issued with an order number. Please quote this order number on any correspondence with Millhouse World of Wood Ltd.
1.18 Once an order has been placed the goods are automatically consigned for delivery to the address you have provided. If you wish to cancel an order please do so as soon as possible. Cancellation before 3 pm on the day of the order will ensure that you are not liable for any return costs. Goods are usually dispatched on the same working day as the order is placed.
1.19 If you would like to return an order that has already been delivered, please contact us, and inform us of your reason for the return. We will organise our haulier to collect the order. It is your responsibility to ensure that the order is in a suitable state and location for collection by our haulier. Typically that means in the same or similar condition as when delivered, and in a place that our haulier may access. Delivery onto gravel will require goods to be moved to a stable surface for collection. Please contact us if you require further guidance. You will be refunded for the full value of any goods returned to us in a saleable condition less £80 + VAT for transport and administration costs (and the shipping surcharge where applicable) per pallet returned.
1.20 We have the right to revise and amend these Terms and Conditions as we see fit. You will always be bound by the terms and conditions that were active at the time your order was placed.
Delivery
1.21 The contract between Millhouse World of Wood Ltd and the customer will be deemed to be fulfilled on delivery of your order in good condition. Where the order is not delivered in good condition, the contract between Millhouse World of Wood Ltd and the customer will be deemed to be fulfilled, upon receipt by the customer of any refund due to them, as a function of the customer having notified Millhouse World of Wood Ltd of any damage to the order, in accordance with these Terms and Conditions.
1.22 The goods will be considered to be delivered in a fit state where you, the customer, has signed the delivery note confirming the safe delivery of the order.
1.23 Where the customer has waived their right to inspect the state of goods by requesting delivery without a signature, the contract will be seen as completed, regardless of the actual state of goods. Delivery will be deemed to have been made at the time stated on the delivery note.
1.24 We strongly advise against customers requesting unattended deliveries.
1.25 We use a third party haulier to deliver all orders. Any liability arising from the delivery process lies strictly with the haulier.
1.26 All pallet based deliveries are delivered to the kerbside. While our delivery company will normally go to great lengths to ensure that your delivery is placed where you require it, the contract between yourself and Millhouse World of Wood Ltd includes delivery to kerbside only. Please ensure that you have the means to move the pallet(s) and their goods from the kerbside to a suitable storage location. Please consult the delivery access section below for the required access conditions for deliveries.
Delivery Access
1.27 Bagged wood pellets and crates of firewood are delivered on a 1m x 1.2m pallet and in three heights depending on the product size; 1.6m, 0.8m and 0.5m tall.
1.28 Standard deliveries are done on an 18 tonne vehicle. The delivery onto the property will be done on a pallet pump truck. If there is restricted access a 7.5 tonne vehicle will be used If you require a 7.5 tonne vehicle (please note that sometimes it will be a 12 tonne vehicle) please inform us if there is restricted. Without adequate access, delivery will be to the kerbside only. If you have requested a 7.5 tonne vehicle and your order arrives on an 18 tonne vehicle (and cannot be delivered) please send the delivery away. Please note that the maximum delivery on a 7.5 tonne vehicle is 2 and a half pallets. Larger orders will be despatched on an 18 tonne vehicle.
1.29 The delivery vehicles will need a minimum 2.8m wide access and free from all obstructions including but not limited to trees and vegetation. The delivery area should be free of inclines and hard surfaces, e.g. not suitable on grass and/or gravel, chippings or pebble surfaces,
1.30 Standard delivery occurs on the fifth or sixth working day after order. E.g. if you order before 3pm on Monday, your order should be with you by Friday or the following Monday (Excluding Islands and Highlands). Please note that during busy periods this may extend to 7 days!
1.31 Please note that during Peak Periods (Pre-Christmas, etc.) we are unable to refund customers for any premium delivery charges if a delivery is later than expected.
Damage During Delivery
1.32 Where your order has received some level of damage in transit Millhouse World of Wood Ltd will refund you for the amount of product that you have lost (please note, only lost/unusable product will be compensated for – damaged packaging is not a basis for a claim), provided you follow the following process:

1.35 If there are damages on an order that were not signed off on a delivery note and that could not reasonably have been discovered by a visual inspection of the order on delivery, then the customer may apply for a refund for the damages provided they are able to:

1.38 Where stock is unavailable and not due to be available for more than 15 days, Millhouse World of Wood Ltd will endeavour to restrict sales of the good in question.
1.39 It is your responsibility to ensure that there is suitable access to the delivery location.

1.40 It is your responsibility to ensure that the address and delivery instructions you provide are correct. Where the address and/or instructions are vague and our haulier cannot reasonably be expected to find the delivery location from the instructions provided, we reserve the right to charge a redelivery fee of at least £40 + VAT.
1.41 Where the delivery location is unsuitable for delivery (as deemed by our hauliers driver), and the customer is unable to provide an alternate delivery location that is suitable, or otherwise unable to come to an amicable resolution of the delivery with Millhouse World of Wood Ltd, the customer will be liable for the costs associated with returning the pallet as per 1.49.1 and, or 1.49.2 below.
