Shipping and Returns Policy

• On delivery you must inspect the goods carefully for damage as CSST Group LTD is unable to accept responsibility for damage in transit, shortage of delivery or loss of products unless the customer advises us via telephone within four working days from the date of delivery.
• We despatch our orders via Royal Mail. We anticipate that all deliveries will arrive as specified, however CSST Group LTD cannot accept any liability for any delayed or lost deliveries. Please note: Quoted delivery times do not include weekends or holidays.

• Any specially manufactured products made to order.
• Any items of a sanitary nature (eg needles, syringes, continence products and nebulisers etc)
   

For some items purchased we may ask the manufacturer to contact you directly to establish the nature of the fault and then depending on the fault we will either organise a repair or replacement or in some instances ask you to liaise with the manufacturer directly.
