Our IT systems and logistics processes have bene streamlined over many years. Based on the
experience of processing tens of thousands of orders, we aim to provide you with a smooth and
fast delivery service.
Intus Healthcare Ltd. ship to anywhere within the United Kingdom as well as to all other E.U.
countries. The shopping cart will display the exact delivery cost for all UK postcodes however,
for delivery addresses outside the UK, you may be given a guide price only. Should this not cover
all postage costs we will inform you before proceeding with shipment.
All orders go through three stages:
- Funds are authorised and the transaction is checked for fraud before the order is forwarded to our warehouse.
- The goods are picked and packed. Where applicable, medical devices will be configured for the patient.
- The order is dispatched by First Class Royal Mail (Standard, Recorded or Special) or a number of national and international courier companies.
Depending on the order, the warehouse used to fulfill the order and the courier service used,
detailed parcel tracking may be available in your online account here in the shop.
The time delivery takes depends on the following:
- The validity of transaction data and accuracy of shipping details.
- Whether the product is in stock at the time of your order. (Most products are.)
- The number of orders we are processing at any one time.
- The size / weight of your order.
- The destination of your order.
Delivery options may be offered as you progress through the shopping cart, depending on several criteria.
'Standard Delivery' means that Intus Healthcare Ltd. will nearly always process your order on the same or
next (working) day that it arrived! The date your product is actually dispatched from our warehouse
depends on the five things above. As a general rule, smaller items are nearly always dispatched within 2-3 working days.
Larger, bulkier items and items that require personalisation (such as CPAP settings) may take up to 7 working days. If
you have a need for speed, or specific delivery requirements, please call or e-mail and will be able to assist you personally.
Orders sent by couriers
These are generally delivered Monday to Friday between 9:00 in the morning and 17:00 in the afternoon. If you
cannot be in to receive and sign for the goods (you MUST sign for the goods), either have them delivered to your
workplace at the time of ordering or to a named neighbour or friend instead. This should be clearly stated when
making the order. Within the shopping cart there is a facility to have products sent to an address different from
the billing address and to add special delivery instructions, such as preferred day for delivery or directions.
Though we cannot guarantee the day of delivery, we will try to follow your instructions and if possible notify you
if we are not able to. Please do not leave instructions for the couriers on your door, as they are unlikely to be
carried out.
Missed Deliveries
If you do miss the delivery, you will receive a notification card in your letterbox and you will need to
call the couriers and arrange for redelivery. There is no charge for the second attempt, but they will not
attempt delivery after the second attempt without additional payment. Failing that, the products will be
returned to Intus Healthcare Ltd. with a charge to pay. Please try to avoid this happening as unfortunately,
you may have to pay a 'returned product' courier charge and you will also have to pay for postage of the
products back to you again. You can request that the goods be sent to a more convenient address, but this
will also incur a redelivery charge because it will have to go back through the couriers depot and be
relabelled and resent. Note: PO Box numbers cannot be accepted for delivery addresses.
Terms
Postage and packing rates apply to all transactions unless otherwise stated. Saturdays, Sundays and Bank
holidays are NOT counted as 'standard 'delivery days and will incur a surcharge if requested, as will timed or
early morning deliveries.
Delivery charges vary according to weight and value, however some items are often free of charge.
Where we must charge a delivery fee, we do our best to charge you a fair price rather than an inflated one.
You will see your delivery charge before you pay for your order in the checkout. Standard delivery charges
apply to UK mainland only. Non-UK mainland addresses and remote areas may incur a surcharge.
Please contact our Customer Services Team for a quotation if you are unsure.
If there is an unforeseen or out of our control delivery delay, we will attempt to notify you by e-mail
or telephone. (Providing the details entered within the order are correct).
Please note: If goods arrive to you visibly damaged, you must refuse to accept the delivery and state
this on the delivery note. If you are not sure, insist on inspecting the package thoroughly before signing your
acceptance. If you sign for the goods (by default accepting them in good condition) and then report
any transit damage after that time, no claims for compensation can be accepted. The courier may appear to
be in a rush but it is your right to know what you sign for.
In some countries customs, duty or handling charges may be levied by local authorities. We cannot accept
any responsibility for these charges. VAT will be deducted for any countries outside the EU.
