the progress of your order. Orders will be delivered on our behalf by
one of our couriers and made between 8.00am - 6.00pm Monday - Friday.
If a specific day delivery is required (e.g. Saturday) we may be able
to arrange this for you but at an extra cost.
Our courier company are not insured to enter your house/premises and
will therefore require your help (or other recipient) in handling any
order in excess of 25kgs (generally televisions). Our Couriers will
only deliver goods to ground floor. Please note that we are depending
on third party couriers for delivery of your goods. We shall not be
liable for any losses, costs, damages, charges or expenses caused by
any delay in delivering goods if not caused by us. This relates solely
to the delivery aspect of providing goods.
In the unlikely event that your product appears lost or is damaged
in transit please contact us immediately via email, service@rgbdirect.co.uk,
or telephone the service dept on 020 8478 1444.We suggest you keep your
original packaging in case you have any reason to return your purchase
(see faulty or damaged goods below). The reason for this is couriers
will not pick up items unless they are packed adequately in the original
packaging. Alternative packaging will be sufficient as long as it provides
the same protection to the goods. However, we strongly advise you use
the original packaging.
When returning goods to the manufacturers they also insist on products
being returned with all the original packaging otherwise they may reject
the product. This will limit the amount of damage a product could endure
through transportation. * The customer who has ordered the goods
must sign for all goods on delivery*. If a delay of more than
30 days occurs, the consumer will be notified by us of the expected
delivery date, however they may cancel the order and we will refund
any money paid by the customer for the goods should the new delivery
date be unacceptable.
If a delivery attempt has failed, other than the Couriers error, a
failed delivery charge will occur. This is excluded if goods are refused,
as there were obvious signs of damage through transit. This does not
affect the consumer's statutory rights.
Please note if goods are not received within 5 working days of the
goods being despatched you must notify RGB Direct within this time period.
This is purely for security purposes to protect us and indeed the customer
directly. * On certain deliveries we may ask for a manual verification
swipe of your Credit / Debit card which was used for purchase *.
This is purely for Security reasons.

therefore impractical for us to always offer the best prices. However,
if you find the same product cheaper, supplied by a UK authorised dealer, brand
new, boxed and in stock, we will endeavour to beat their price prior to purchase. This
excludes any grey imports.
