We reserve the right to correct genuine pricing errors.

6. PLACING AN ORDER

An order placed through our website constitutes an offer to purchase products from Haskins Honey.  

We will send an order acknowledgement confirming receipt of your order. A contract is formed when we confirm acceptance by email or dispatch the goods, whichever occurs first.

If we are unable to accept an order, we will contact you and refund any payment received.

Customers placing collection orders will receive confirmation of their order with instructions to contact us to arrange collection. Online collection orders remain subject to applicable consumer cancellation rights.

7. DELIVERY

Delivery times are estimates only. We will make reasonable efforts to deliver in stated timescales.  If delivery is delayed, we will contact you where reasonably possible. Ownership passes to the customer once full payment has been received. 

Responsibility for the goods remains with Haskins Honey until they are delivered and in the possession of the customer, or a person nominated by the customer in accordance with applicable consumer law.

Nothing in these terms affects your statutory rights concerning delivery.

8. COLLECTION ORDERS

Collection of orders must be arranged in advance. If an order is not collected within the agreed period, we will contact the customer to arrange an alternative collection date or discuss cancellation.

For cancellations and returns, please notify us during this period using our Contact us form. We also accept cancellation notices by email at shop@haskinshoney.co.uk.

Following notification of cancellation, goods must be returned in a further 14 days. Unless damaged, faulty or incorrectly supplied, customers are responsible for the direct cost of returning unwanted goods.

Certain goods are exempt from cancellation rights, including sealed goods which are not suitable for return for health protection or hygiene reasons where the seal has been broken after delivery.

Nothing in this section affects your statutory rights.

10. RETURNS AND REFUNDS

Change-of-mind returns

Where a customer exercises their statutory right to cancel an online order, goods should be returned in an appropriate condition, with their original packaging where reasonably possible.

Customers may be responsible for any reduction in the value of goods resulting from handling beyond what is necessary to establish their nature, characteristics and functioning.

Certain sealed products may be excluded from cancellation rights where they are not suitable for return for health protection or hygiene reasons and have been unsealed after delivery, in accordance with the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013.

Faulty, damaged or incorrectly supplied goods

If goods arrive damaged, faulty or are incorrectly supplied, please contact us at shop@haskinshoney.co.uk as soon as reasonably possible.

Your statutory rights are not affected by any requirement to provide photographs or retain original packaging.

Refunds

Where a statutory cancellation applies, refunds will be made using the original payment method.

We will issue refunds without undue delay and within the applicable statutory timeframe. For returned goods, this will normally be within 14 days of receiving the goods back or receiving evidence that they have been sent back, whichever occurs first.

Where applicable, standard outbound delivery charges will also be refunded. Additional charges for upgraded delivery services are not refundable beyond the cost of standard delivery.

Where a customer is entitled to a refund for faulty, damaged or incorrectly supplied goods, we will meet our statutory obligations, including any applicable return costs.
