Please be aware that Royal Mail First Class delivery states on their website that they aim to deliver first class items by the next working day but experience dictates it can take up to as much as ten working days depending on location and season and, as such, Hades Fire Protection Ltd cannot be held responsible if there is a delay.

Hades Fire Protection Limited will use a preferred courier service for items over 1.5kg or for purchases under 1.5kg if specified.

In the case that next day or timed deliveries are delayed, we may refund the charges depending on the circumstances. This decision is at the discretion of the management due to the fact that even though these services state next day, Hades Fire Protection Limited does not guarantee this fact - that guarantee is held by the shipping company as the actual delivery of this item is out of our hands once it has left the warehouse.

Please see the Cancellation Policy section for information on the refund of additional delivery services if cancelling an order already dispatched.

Hades Fire Protection Limited is not liable for any damage to property or consequential loss, e.g. loss of product, loss of profit, loss of goods in store which arises by defects or delays in delivery of products irrespective of the cause, including faulty manufacture.
