3. Shipping & Returns Policy
Last Updated: May 2026
1. Shipping & Delivery
Processing Times: Because we stock tour-tested, commercial-grade gear, large bulk orders or specialist items may require additional handling or custom palletization. Estimated dispatch windows will be provided during your formal quote confirmation.
Courier Networks: We use trusted commercial couriers (e.g., DPD, DHL, or dedicated freight networks) to deliver across the UK.
Delivery Delays: While we understand that keeping the show running depends on tight schedules, delivery dates are estimates only. Signal and Stable Ltd is not liable for transport delays caused by third-party courier sorting issues, traffic failures, or severe weather conditions. We strongly advise ordering mission-critical kit well in advance of load-in dates.
2. B2B Returns & Refunds
Please note that standard UK consumer cooling-off periods (such as the 14-day change-of-mind right under the Consumer Contracts Regulations) do not apply to business-to-business transactions.
Damaged or Faulty Goods: If any kit arrives damaged or fails to match the technical specifications outlined in your order confirmation, you must notify us in writing within 48 hours of delivery at [email protected]. Please provide photo evidence of the fault. Upon inspection, we will arrange for a replacement or a credit note.
Surplus Stock / Incorrect Orders: We do not automatically accept returns for over-ordered or surplus kit. Return shipping costs for non-faulty items are the sole responsibility of the buyer.
