cartons and crates will be charged for if damaged or lost, including damage caused by wet/dampness.

4) COVID Please note that we are now supplying certain items in pack quantities to minimise handling and risk; Crockery x
10s sealed bag, Cutlery x 10s sealed bag, Glassware full crates. All items now have to be washed by our staff on return, so
there is no clean return policy at present. We will continually monitor our processes to do all we can to ensure best
working practice for our staff and customers, and work within government guidelines.

5) Deliveries and collections are quoted per vehicle for door to door (ground floor) service by a single driver between 830am

to help with the moving / siting and removal of equipment, especially at difficult locations ( eg. Marquees, office premises,
large halls, locations off ground floor level). Where delivery entails our staff moving goods to / from a previously
unarranged specific area and /or having to reassemble / break down equipment after use and extra labour and time is
involved, additional costs will be charged.
