We aim to process all orders, that meet Royal Mail dimension criteria, received before 11.00hrs on the same day (Monday to Friday).

Loss or damage in transit

3. You must inform us within two working days if the goods are lost or damaged in transit so that we can make a prompt claim against the delivery company and correct the problem. Please quote your order number in all correspondence.

If on receipt of goods via a courier there is any damage visible to the packing it must be signed “damaged”, and TLAC notified in writing (letter or email) within 48 hours recording such damage. Failure to do so could affect any damaged goods claim. “Unexamined” signatures do not relieve you of this liability and TLAC shall not be responsible for any claim or claims if you fail to comply with the provisions of this clause

You agree that proof of delivery supplied by our delivery company is sufficient evidence to establish that goods have been received.
