Order Acceptance and Contract Formation
All orders placed through our website or phone system are subject to Trade Superstore Online accepting the order. Once accepted, a contract is formed, and the goods are dispatched. Title and ownership of the goods transfer to the customer upon delivery. Acceptance of the order occurs at the point of processing, picking, and packaging at our warehouse or distribution location.
Product Images and Variations
All product images on our website are provided for illustration purposes only and represent the best indication of the original items. These images are displayed with the manufacturers' or suppliers' permission. Manufacturers may occasionally make small changes to product designs, so the item you receive may have slight differences from the website image. Additionally, the colour of goods may vary slightly due to browser software and monitor limitations.
Tile Variations
Due to the manufacturing, buying, and firing processes, there may be variations in size, shape, colour, and pattern in tiles. Therefore, Trade Superstore Online accepts no liability for such variations. To minimize risk, we strongly recommend using tiles from the same batch whenever possible.
Stock Availability
All products are subject to stock availability at the time of ordering. While we strive to ensure all items shown are in stock, we do not guarantee availability, and this electronic publication does not constitute an offer of sale.
Pricing and VAT
All prices stated on our website exclude VAT at 20%.

If you’ve already paid for the unavailable Goods, and do not want to accept alternative products we’ll give you a refund for their purchase price by crediting either your payment card or your account with us (as applicable). Where we offer alternative products, this is a suggestion only. You are responsible for determining whether any alternative products offered to you are suitable for the purposes for which you intend to use them.

Please note, discount codes are applicable to individual products only and not to product bundles or suites.
Percentage savings are calculated based on either the manufacturer's suggested retail price or the previously listed price of an item.

Delivery Options and Charges
All delivery options and charges are detailed on our Shipping and Returns page. Please note that delivery timelines are best estimates and may change due to factors like seasonality, weather, and other unforeseen circumstances.
Pricing and VAT
All prices listed exclude VAT. For orders containing multiple items, you will be charged one shipping fee based on the collective weight of your order unless specialist delivery arrangements are requested. Different shipping rates may apply to different product ranges. Some products may incur an additional delivery charge depending on the location of the depots stocking the specific product.
Delivery Handling and Responsibility
Deliveries are usually managed by various courier partners and our own vans, depending on the products in your order. Once collected from the dispatch warehouse, the responsibility for all orders rests with the delivery drivers and their staff. While we will attempt to accommodate special delivery instructions, such as leaving products with neighbours or in sheds, this is not always possible. We are not responsible for any delays experienced by couriers or delivery companies. In cases where goods go missing, we require 30 days to successfully claim from the carrier.
Delivery Timeframes and Delays
We aim to meet the estimated delivery timelines provided. However, we are not liable for any delays in delivering your order. If we cannot dispatch your order within the estimated timeframe, we will inform you and provide the option to either wait for the goods or cancel your order.
Please note: Many of our orders are fulfilled from a central warehouse and may be interbranched between multiple locations. Once an order enters this process, it is considered dispatched and can no longer be cancelled, rerouted, or modified.
Once an order has been placed and confirmed, it cannot be cancelled.
Our systems process orders immediately with our suppliers to ensure fast dispatch and delivery times.
- All orders are final once confirmed.
- We are unable to make changes, amendments, or cancellations after an order is placed.
- This applies even if the order has not yet been dispatched.
Trade and special-order goods (including bespoke, made-to-measure, or non-stocked items ordered specifically for you) are strictly non-cancellable and non-returnable once placed.
For consumer purchases of standard stock items, statutory rights remain unaffected under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, which allow a return within 14 days of delivery for eligible goods.
For our Returns Policy please click here.
Upon delivery, you will have the opportunity to check and sign for the products. We recommend a visual inspection for any obvious damages and to ensure all items are present. You are not required to check every item before signing.
Please inspect all your items upon receipt. If any goods are damaged, faulty, or incomplete, notify us within 48 hours of delivery via email, quoting your order number. We will then arrange a replacement and collection. We will replace any faulty or incorrect goods but cannot offer refunds unless we cannot supply the correct items. In some cases, couriers may refuse to collect items like broken glass or pottery.
Responsibility and Risk
Upon signing for the delivery, responsibility for the products passes to you, including any risk of damage or loss. Ensure the purchaser is present to check the goods before use. We are not responsible for any goods received or unpacked by anyone other than the purchaser.
Large Orders and Heavy Deliveries
For large orders and heavy items like windows and doors or similar, someone must be on site to accept delivery and assist our driver with offloading. Refusal to offload may result in the need to reschedule delivery, which will incur a re-delivery charge.
Pallet Deliveries
For pallet deliveries, we may be able to collect any pallets left upon delivery, please contact us at hello@tradesuperstoreonline.co.uk to organize this. This may not always be possible, in this case the customer is responsible for disposing of delivery packaging materials, such as pallets.
Customer Errors
We are not responsible for any loss or damage due to errors made by the purchaser during checkout, such as entering incorrect address details. Ensure all information is correct before processing your order.
Installation of Damaged Goods
Do not install any damaged goods. We cannot replace or refund items that have been installed. If you find your goods are damaged, please contact us for assistance. All damaged goods must be returned in their original packaging.
If our delivery vehicle is kept waiting for an unreasonable time, if the driver must return without completing delivery, or if additional staff are needed to unload goods, a reasonable additional charge reflecting these extra services will be applied.
Remote Delivery
If your location falls within what our couriers deem as a "remote" area, you may be subject to extra delivery fees.
Outlying Areas Include:
- Channel Islands
- Truro
- Isle of Man
- Scilly Isles
- Isle of Wight
- Highlands
- Northern Ireland
- Grampian
- Offshore regions of Scotland
If you're uncertain whether your address falls into one of these outlying areas, please reach out to our customer service team at hello@tradesuperstoreonline.co.uk.
Multiple Deliveries
We will try to make a single delivery where possible to minimize inconvenience. However, if your order contains items with different delivery lead times or stored at different warehouses, you may receive split deliveries on different days. In some occasions, the longest lead time will apply to the whole order.
Missed Deliveries
If you fail to take delivery on the agreed date, we reserve the right to charge for any subsequent deliveries.
We are not liable for any direct or indirect damages or additional incurred costs resulting from delivery delays or failures, whether caused by us or otherwise.
Booking Installers
We advise against booking installers or engaging in preparatory work until you have fully received and inspected your goods. We are not liable for any tradesperson costs, consequential loss, or compensation.
Out of Stock Items
Out-of-stock items are listed with estimated timescales provided by our suppliers, which are subject to change. We will confirm when an item is back in stock and arrange delivery accordingly.
Courier Responsibility
Once goods are collected from the dispatch warehouse, they become the responsibility of the designated courier. We are not liable for any courier delays.
