Delivery & Returns

We aim to get all orders placed before 14:00 despatched the same day. If however, an item is out of stock we will contact you immediately, offering an alternative or a refund. A reply is required before 14:00 to guarantee same day despatch. If an order requires specialist picking and packing, e.g palletised deliveries, or large volume orders, we cannot guarantee same day dispatch, and would recommend if such an order is urgent, to contact us, to discuss the delivery options.

Delivery information

We have tried to minimise carriage costs by using selected hauliers and our own vehicle wherever possible to help ensure a competitive and good quality service. If access is very restricted you must notify us as a special delivery vehicle may be needed. This may incur a surcharge - please enquire. Delivery of most consignments would normally include offloading from the vehicle, but not taking into, customers premises unless otherwise agreed. With larger amounts and especially with kilns & equipment, special assistance may be required: This must be discussed and agreed with us in advance. Delivery will be to the nearest practicable point to the customers premises.

No deliveries at public/bank holidays.

Our courier APC operates a policy of two delivery attempts only. If you are not in, or do not provide delivery comments to provide a suitable and safe place to leave your parcel, it will be returned to us after two attempts have been made. After this a re-delivery charge will be incurred.

If you are able to collect from your nearest APC depot, your parcel will be held for three days only. After this time it will be returned to Bath Potters, and a re-delivery charge will be incurred.

Delivery Notification

Any delivery time slots provided are not guaranteed, due to factors outside of Bath Potters control.

When ordering please advise us of your telephone number (and email address if available). Please inform us of any shutdown periods to avoid the risk of extra re-delivery charges. We will endeavour to give advance warning of delivery. With several deliveries on one lorry, however, unexpected delays due to weather conditions, breakdowns, traffic etc may cause some disruption to schedules.

In the event that we are unable to supply your goods within thirty days, we will inform you immediately and advise you of the expected delivery date. Outstanding orders / items can be cancelled at any time. In the event of any goods delivered by us being damaged in transit, deficient of items shown on the delivery note or failing to match the items ordered by you, then such details must be notified by you to us within seven working days of receipt.

If we receive no such notification the customer will be deemed to have accepted the items.
