Shipping policy
Thank you for shopping with East Coast Bargains. This Shipping Policy explains how we process, ship and deliver your orders. By placing an order you agree to the terms set out below.
1. Shipping Destinations
We currently ship to addresses in the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland only. We do not offer international shipping at this time.
2. Shipping Methods & Costs
Available shipping options and costs are calculated and displayed at checkout based on:
- Delivery address
- Order weight and size
- Selected delivery speed
Shipping costs are non-refundable unless the return is due to our error (see our Returns & Refunds Policy).
3. Order Processing
Orders are typically processed within 1–3 business days (Monday–Friday, excluding UK public holidays). You will receive an order confirmation email once your order is placed, followed by a dispatch confirmation email with tracking information once your order has been shipped.
During busy periods (e.g. sales or holidays) processing times may be slightly longer. We will notify you if there is a significant delay.
4. Estimated Delivery Times
Delivery times shown at checkout are estimates only and are not guaranteed. Typical delivery times after dispatch are:
- Standard shipping: 2–5 working days
- Express options (where available): 1–2 working days
Delivery times can vary depending on the carrier, location, and external factors.
5. Tracking Your Order
Once your order has been dispatched you will receive a tracking number by email. You can use this number to track your parcel on the carrier’s website.
6. Risk of Loss & Title
Risk of loss and title for the goods pass to you when the carrier takes possession of the package. We are not responsible for loss or damage that occurs after the package has been handed to the carrier.
7. Delays
We are not responsible for delivery delays caused by:
- The carrier
- Adverse weather
- Customs (if applicable)
- Incorrect or incomplete address details provided by you
- Other events outside our reasonable control
If your tracking information shows a delay, please contact the carrier first. If you still need help, email us at ecbonlinetrading@gmail.com with your order number.
8. Damaged or Lost Packages
Please inspect your package carefully upon receipt.
- Damaged items: Contact us within 3 days of delivery with clear photos of the damage and the packaging. We will arrange a free return or replacement in line with our Returns & Refunds Policy.
- Lost packages: If tracking shows the parcel has not been delivered after the estimated delivery window, contact us and we will investigate with the carrier.
9. Incorrect Address
Please ensure your delivery address is accurate and complete at checkout. We are not responsible for packages that are delayed, lost or returned due to incorrect address information supplied by you. Additional shipping charges may apply if a package needs to be re-sent.
