Price of Products

The prices displayed on our Sites are largely the same as our in-store prices. However, we may offer different prices for Products purchased from our Sites to those in store. These prices may be higher or lower than in our stores and our stores are under no obligation to match the prices quoted on our Sites, likewise the Sites are under no obligation to match in-store prices. Online-only promotions apply to transactions made on our Sites only.

The price you pay for your products is the price displayed on our site at the time we receive your order. We take care to ensure that the prices of Products on our Sites are correct. However, due to the large number of Products on our Sites it is possible that, despite our best efforts, some of them may be incorrectly priced. We normally verify product prices following receipt of an order and if we discover an error in the price of the Products you have ordered we will contact you to give you the option of continuing to purchase the product at the correct price or cancelling your order. We will not process your order until we have your instructions. If we are unable to contact you using the contact details you provided during the order process, we will treat the order as cancelled and notify you in writing.

Please note that if the pricing error is obvious and unmistakable and could reasonably have been recognised by you as a pricing error, we do not have to provide the Products to you at the incorrect (lower) price even if we have failed to notify you that we do not accept your order within 7 days of our sending our Order Acknowledgement.

The price of all Products includes VAT (where applicable) but does not include delivery charges. Our delivery charges are as quoted on our site from time to time (see Delivery section below).

Delivery

For full details of our delivery service, delivery locations and charges please refer to our Delivery information and charges.

All quoted delivery dates and times are estimates. Although we will try our best to meet them we will not be responsible if we are unable to do so. We will let you know if we cannot deliver your products within 30 days of when we receive your payment and will give you the option to either wait for the products or cancel your order and receive a full refund.

We strongly recommend that you do not book fitters or tradespersons until your order has been delivered and checked by you. We cannot be held responsible for any third-party costs or charges which you incur due to non-delivery of an order, or orders that have not been checked on delivery.

We are not able to process orders or deliver on UK Bank Holidays or Sundays.

All orders will be delivered to a single address. For security reasons your first order using a credit/debit card when placed on our website or by phone will need to be delivered to the cardholder's address. Subsequent orders can then be made to an alternative address. Orders made on our website in-store do not need to be delivered to the cardholder’s address.

To minimise inconvenience we will, wherever possible, try to make one single delivery to you. This means that if your order contains a mix of products with different delivery lead times, the longest lead time will apply to the whole order. When you place an order containing a mix of products including 'Supplier Delivered' items, one single delivery will not be possible as 'Supplier Delivered' products are delivered direct from the supplier.

All deliveries must be received and signed for by a person over the age of 18. If no-one is available to take the delivery, we will leave details at the address to rearrange delivery. We may need to make an additional handling charge for redelivery. Should no-one be available to take the redelivery we may cancel the order and refund your money, excluding any delivery charges.

We want to ensure that everything is right with your order, so please make sure that you carefully check it on receipt and ideally notify our customer services team within 24 hours via telephone or online chat if any products are missing or damaged. By notifying us within this time frame it smooths the investigation process and we can organise a redelivery, replacement or collection as appropriate.

Due to insurance guidelines, our delivery personnel are unable to enter private residences. For Big & Bulky deliveries, delivery will be to the kerbside of the address. For all other deliveries, delivery will be to the ground floor doorstep of the delivery address. The recipient of the delivery is responsible for any additional lifting once the delivery has been completed.

We sometimes use pallets to deliver your order. Pallets form part of the product packaging and are non-returnable. You can reuse these pallets or alternatively dispose of them independently.

Returning an item

We hope that you will be happy with everything you purchase from Wickes. If you are not happy with your purchase, please return your product with proof of purchase (this can be a till receipt or an order confirmation email) and in the same condition as you bought it (including being in its original packaging), within 30 days from the date of purchase or receipt of the product, whichever is the latest date and we will happily offer a replacement or a refund.

Big & Bulky deliveries

We are dedicated to getting your order to you as promised and safely. Please be aware that it will be necessary to deliver most Big and Bulky orders on a flat bed truck fitted with a hydraulic crane, which can weight up to 26 tons with an approximate length of 9 metres, fitted with extending leg supports required when using the crane.

Safety is paramount, and our drivers will first do a safety check on arrival to ensure there are no issues with the ground, overhead cables and public access before commencing delivery. Unfortunately, if there are any safety or access issues we will not be able to complete the delivery and the driver's decision is final.

Should this occur our team will discuss with you what options are available, including refunding your order.

We use pallets to delivery the majority of these products. These form part of the product packaging and are non-returnable. You can reuse these pallets or alternatively dispose of them independently.

Risk of loss and damage in the Products will pass to you on the date when the Products are delivered or on the date on which we make our first attempt to deliver them to you.

Kitchen, Bathroom and Home Office deliveries

A delivery charge of £67.50 will apply to kitchen, bathroom and home office products in excess of £1,000 which are purchased via a Design Consultant.

Returns and refunds

Liability

Except for the remedies set out in our Refunds and returns section (see above), if any Product which we supply is proven to be damaged or defective we will either repair or replace the Product or offer a refund less a fair amount on account of your use of the Product.

Where we are unable to perform our obligations under the Contract due to matters outside of our control or if we supply a Product that is damaged or defective we will not in any circumstances accept liability for any claim to recover loss of profits or any special or indirect loss, damage or expense. Nothing in these conditions excludes or limits in any way our liability for:

  • death or personal injury caused by our negligence;
  • fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation;
  • or any matter for which it would be illegal for us to exclude or attempt to exclude our liability;

As a consumer customer you may have additional legal rights in relation to Products that are faulty or not as described and nothing in these Terms affects these rights. Further advice about your legal rights is available from your local Citizens' Advice Bureau or Trading Standards office. Nothing in these Terms will affect these legal rights.

Children

As a responsible retailer, we are aware that minors can incorrectly use some DIY Products. We do not knowingly sell to children and orders may only be placed by persons aged 18 or over.

Other important terms

We reserve the rights to make changes to these Terms. Any changes will be posted to the site and will take effect immediately. You should therefore read the Terms each time you place an order with us.

Our site and its contents and any Contract formed as a result of its use shall be governed by and construed in accordance with English law and shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts.

If you are not satisfied with your purchase please contact our customer service team. Please complete our contact form, or telephone us on 0330 123 4123. We will try to resolve any issues that you have as quickly as possible. If you remain unhappy with our final response, you may be entitled to refer your complaint to The Furniture Ombudsman.

Click & collect terms & conditions

Our Click & Collect service is not available for ‘to order only’ and home delivered products.

Click & Collect orders can be made at any time on our website or via our Call Centre by calling 0330 123 4123 between 8am and 6pm Monday to Saturday and between 10am and 5pm on Sundays (your call will be charged at the same rate as calling a landline, call rates from mobile providers will vary.) or on our website In-store during normal store opening times.

Subject to stock availability, we will aim to ensure that Click & Collect orders are available for collection from the nominated store within 30 minutes of our first email confirming your order number. Please check your selected store’s trading hours as these may vary.

During busy times we may not be able to have your Click & Collect order ready within 30 minutes, particularly if the order is placed outside of our store trading hours. To avoid an unnecessary journey or long wait at the store, please wait for your e-mail and/or SMS confirmation that your order is ready to collect.

Once your order has been placed you will receive an email confirming your order number. A second email, which will contain a collection PIN number, will be sent to confirm when your order is available for collection. If you have chosen to collect items from more than one store then each store will contact you separately to inform you that your item(s) are ready for collection.

Orders will be held for 48 hours from the time we send our e-mail to confirm that your order is available for collection. If you have not collected your order within this timeframe you will be contacted by the store. We reserve the right to automatically cancel and refund any orders not collected within 5 days.

When collecting your order please ensure that you have your order confirmation email which contains the collection PIN number (either printed or on your phone), together with the payment card used to make the purchase as Wickes reserve the right to see this card before releasing the products.

If 3rd parties are collecting products on your behalf they must have a copy of the order confirmation email containing the collection PIN number. Wickes reserve the right to ask to see photo ID, such as a valid photo card driving licence or passport which will be photocopied by the store before the products are released. Please note that products will not be released to non-approved collection or courier companies.

In accordance with our returns policy you can return any product (including special order products, but excluding made to measure products or bespoke products) which you do not require to the store for a refund, provided we are advised of the proposed return within 30 days of the product being collected by you.

If you are collecting without using your collection PIN, please bring a copy of your order confirmation (either printed or on your phone), together with photographic ID, such as a valid driving licence.

If you wish for your order to be collected by a third party, they will need to bring a copy of your order confirmation (either printed or on your phone), together with photographic ID, such as a valid driving licence.

We know that our customers love to see these products being used in real life - especially when it comes to inspiring projects like kitchen installations, bathroom makeovers, flooring options, paint colours, tiles and decking. If you’ve used a Wickes product in your home or garden project and can take a good clear photo of it, we’d love to see how it turned out.

How and where will Wickes use my photo?

It could feature in our marketing material, including (but not limited to) Wickes webpages, social media platforms, in-store materials, printed marketing materials, promotional emails, brochures, flyers and advertisements.

I’m a tradesperson using Wickes materials on my jobs - can I give consent?

We love seeing pictures of all kinds of projects, whether they’re bathrooms or kitchens fitted by professionals like you, or any other jobs carried out on behalf of a homeowner. But, it’s important that you have the express permission of the homeowner before you grant us any rights to your content.

I’m a Wickes Design Consultant. Can I give consent to photos of my designs being used?

As someone who sees so many Wickes kitchen styles, worktops, tiles and flooring being used in customers’ homes, your photos will be really helpful. However, please make sure that you have permission, in writing, from the homeowner before granting rights to any images.
