Welcome to VANTASTIC PARTS LIMITED! This Shipping & Delivery Policy outlines all the important information regarding the processing, shipping, and delivery of orders placed on our official website, www.vantasticpartsltd.com. By placing an order, you agree to the terms outlined in this policy. We recommend reviewing this policy alongside our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.
1. Processing Time & Order Confirmation
All orders are processed during our standard business hours, Monday through Friday (excluding public holidays in England).
- Order Confirmation: Once you place an order, you will receive an automated email confirming your order details. Please check your spam/junk folder if you do not see it in your inbox.
- Processing Time: We strive to process all in-stock items within 1-3 business days after your order is placed and payment is confirmed. This time is for order verification, quality checks, and packaging—part of our commitment to “deliver quality” as stated in our company’s core objectives.
- Order Verification: In rare cases, we may need to contact you via email (deskdreame@vantasticpartsltd.com) or phone (+44 131 201 2583) to verify your shipping address or payment details before proceeding. This is a security measure to prevent fraud.
2. Shipping Destinations & Carriers
- Primary Service Area: We primarily ship within the United Kingdom.
- International Shipping: We are currently evaluating options to expand our market reach. For international shipping inquiries, please contact our customer service team at deskdreame@vantasticpartsltd.com before placing your order.
- Shipping Carriers: We partner with reputable courier and postal services, such as Royal Mail, DPD, DHL, or Evri, to deliver your orders. The specific carrier and service level will depend on your location, the size/weight of your package, and the shipping method selected at checkout.
3. Shipping Methods, Costs & Delivery Times
Shipping costs are calculated at checkout based on your delivery address, the total weight of your items, and the shipping method you choose. We offer a range of options to balance speed and cost.
| Shipping Method (UK) | Estimated Delivery Time (After Dispatch) | Typical Cost (Varies) | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard Shipping | 3-5 business days | Calculated at Checkout | Our most economical option, perfect for non-urgent needs. |
| Express Shipping | 1-2 business days | Calculated at Checkout | Ideal for when you need your car essentials sooner. |
| Next-Day Delivery | 1 business day* | Calculated at Checkout | Subject to order cut-off times (usually 12 PM GMT) and service availability. |
Important Notes on Delivery Times:
- Dispatch vs. Delivery: The times listed above are estimates for transit after your order has been dispatched from our facility (West Hill Farm, Elstronwick, HU12 9BP). They do not include the 1-3 business day processing period.
- Business Days: These are Monday to Friday, excluding weekends and public holidays. Orders placed on a weekend or holiday will be processed on the next business day.
- Delivery Delays: While we do our best to meet these estimates, delays can occasionally occur due to factors beyond our control, such as adverse weather, carrier network issues, customs clearance (for international orders), or incorrect/incomplete address details. We appreciate your understanding.
4. Order Tracking
Once your order has been dispatched from our warehouse, you will receive a second email containing your tracking number and a link to monitor your package’s journey. You can also log into your “My Account” section on our website to view the status of your orders.
5. Shipping Address Accuracy & PO Boxes
- Accuracy is Crucial: Please double-check your shipping address at checkout. We are not responsible for delays or lost packages caused by an incorrect or incomplete address provided by the customer. You can update your default address in your “My Account” section.
- Address Corrections: If you realize you’ve entered the wrong address immediately after ordering, please contact us as soon as possible at deskdreame@vantasticpartsltd.com. We can only modify the address if the order has not yet been processed for dispatch.
- PO Boxes: We can ship to PO Box addresses via standard postal services. However, some express or courier services may not deliver to PO Boxes. If you select a PO Box, the system will default to an appropriate shipping method.
6. Taxes, Duties & Customs (International)
For customers ordering from outside the United Kingdom:
- Import Duties & Taxes: You, as the recipient, are solely responsible for any import duties, customs fees, tariffs, brokerage fees, or taxes that may be levied by your country’s authorities upon import. These fees are not collected by VANTASTIC PARTS LIMITED at checkout and are not included in the product or shipping price.
- Customs Delays: Please be aware that international shipments are subject to customs inspection, which can cause additional delays beyond our estimated delivery times.
- Prohibited Items: It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure that the products ordered are allowed to be imported into their country. We will not be liable for items refused entry by customs.
7. Failed or Undeliverable Shipments
If a carrier attempts delivery but is unsuccessful (e.g., no one is available to sign, incorrect address), they will typically leave a notice with instructions. It is your responsibility to follow up with the carrier using the provided tracking information to arrange for re-delivery or pickup from a local depot.
- If a package is returned to us as “undeliverable” or “unclaimed,” we will contact you. We can refund the cost of the merchandise (minus the original shipping costs) or re-ship the order once a valid address is confirmed and additional shipping fees are paid.
8. Missing or Damaged Shipments
We take great care in packing your “must-have car tools” to ensure they arrive safely. However, issues can sometimes occur in transit.
- Damaged Package: If your package arrives visibly damaged, please refuse the delivery if possible, or note the damage with the delivery driver. Contact us within 48 hours of delivery at deskdreame@vantasticpartsltd.com with photos of the damaged box and contents. We will work with the carrier to resolve the issue and get a replacement or refund to you promptly.
- Missing Package (In Transit): If your tracking information shows a package was delivered, but you have not received it, please first check with household members or neighbors. Then, contact your local postal carrier or the courier company directly using the tracking number. If they cannot locate it, contact us with the details, and we will initiate an investigation with the carrier.
