Kings and Queens Terms of Trade

Kings and Queens is an established Welsh family business dedicated to serving its customers world wide with excellent service with the personal touch. At no time do any of the clauses contained in our terms of trade affect your statutory rights as a consumer.
Our Export staff have a wide experience in packing goods for dispatch, so rest assured that all orders leave our premises ready to endure the most arduous journey and arrive with you in the same perfect condition that they left us in. In the few exceptional circumstances where the goods do arrive damaged we will be happy to replace them free of charge. In accordance with the "Sale of Goods act 1979 (amended)" in the case of goods being found to be faulty the fault should be notified to us within a reasonable period. It is normally assumed that a reasonable period would be about a week from the receipt of goods but we acknowledge that there may be exceptions and will consider any claim individually on its merits. Where goods are found to be faulty we accept that the customer may not be able to return the item in its original packaging but we do request the returned goods are packed with normal care and a refund of the full cost of the goods will be made plus reasonable carriage charges both for the original delivery and the return of the goods. We will also cover the additional cost of secure packaging where appropriate.
All orders are dealt with immediately on receipt. Where possible we try to despatch orders within 48 hours. Due to the vast range of goods on offer it is not always possible to ensure that every item is in stock at all times. It is our policy to e-mail all customers within 48 hours to inform them whether the goods have been shipped or to inform the customer how long it will be before the items are expected to be ready for despatch. It is always our intention to complete all orders within 30 days but if this is not possible due to production problems, the customer will be informed at the earliest opportunity. The customer has the right to cancel the order at any time if they feel the delay is inconvenient. The time in transit for goods sent to most worldwide destinations is less than 7 working days with a full tracking service available for both UK and Overseas customers.
Customers may cancel any order at any time prior to shipping or within 7 days from the day after receipt. Refunds will be made within 30 days of the cancellation date. We would be obliged if goods are returned in their original packing and unused and we will refund the cost of goods in full, less return shipping, within 30 days. If for any reason the customer is unable or unwilling to arrange for the goods to be returned we will arrange a collection at a mutually convenient time and deduct the cost of collection and shipment back to our premises from the final refund payment.
