TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Carp Unlimited maintains an everyday savings pricing policy. We watch other retailers closely and maintain competitive pricing. The internet being the beast it is means that any Tom, Dick’s or Tony’s can set up a website in their back room and charge bargain basement prices. Often they will have no stock on hand, no returns policy, questionable security, no guarantees and of course poor customer service. Carp Unlimited strives to be open and honest, so we will never inflate our prices to set up an artificial 'sale' (a common - and illegal - retail practice).

It is inevitable in an open market like the internet that there will be some individuals selling some items cheaper than we do, and some selling them for more than we do, just as in the high street. We take great pride in offering a fast, efficient, friendly and secure shopping experience, with great products at fair prices. We encourage our customers to shop around, but are very pleased to welcome them back again and again.

VAT - Please note that as we're based in the UK, our site shows all prices inclusive of VAT. Registered website customers from countries where VAT is not applicable will not be charged VAT at the time of their order unless the order is being sent to a UK or EU address.

Our returns policy is simple! Our Total Satisfaction "no quibbles" guarantee means that if for any reason you are unhappy with your purchase, i.e. the item you have ordered is faulty, defective or you've had a change of heart (which is fair enough) you must return it to us unused and in its original condition within 7 days for a prompt replacement, exchange or refund.

Making A Purchase
To make a purchase just browse around our site, and click on any items that you wish to buy and put them into the shopping basket. After you have finished your selection, click on "Checkout" and you will be asked for a few details that we need to be able to process your order.

We accept online card payment by Switch, Maestro, Solo, MasterCard and Visa. All transactions are 100% safe due to our inbuilt 128-bit encryption, provided by Thawte and our server is available 24hrs a day.

At Carp Unlimited we aim to send your goods on the day of order for next day delivery. Should this not be possible we will endeavour to contact you as soon as possible.

Packaging and Delivery within mainland UK will normally be within 2 to 7 working days (maximum of 28 days) from receipt of order. Where delivery cannot be made within the target time, you will be contacted and made aware of any delays. Any orders outside the Mainland UK, we will contact you with a shipping price before any transactions are made.

The Free Delivery Offer
Any offers of free delivery are for Mainland UK only, if ordering from outside the UK Mainland we will email you the cost of postage, note we do not despatch your goods or charge any monies until agreement has been received from you regarding the postage costs, so complete confidence when purchasing is assured!!!

TOTAL SATISFACTION MONEY BACK GUARANTEE

If you decide that you do not require the product when delivered, you may return it to us for a refund, no reason has to be given, but you must have a returns number. The only conditions for return of goods for this service are as follows:

All returns must be received by 7 working days from the date of delivery.
All refunds will be made before 30 days of receiving the return goods, this will include all P&P monies taken at the time of ordering your goods.

Obtain a returns number before sending goods back, use this link returns@carpunlimited.net stating your name, address and order number and the last four digits of the card used (never give out the full number as emails do not go through our secure server).

Failure to return the goods using the above conditions could result in the failure to receive a full refund or partial refund, our decision in these matters is always fair and final.

Full Return Policy Details

How do I return an item? Simply call us on 01621 851929, and one of our customer support team will issue you with a Returns Authorisation Code that will enable us to process your return quickly and efficiently. You must obtain a Returns Authorisation Code before sending anything back to us or we will not be able to process your return. To give you a few pointers on how we manage our returns, here are some simple and easy to follow guidelines:

Faulty or defective items: If you return an item because of an error on our part, or it is defective, we will happily refund your costs in returning it to us or arrange collection. You are responsible for any other service provided to you in connection with your purchase, e.g. Saturday delivery. The item(s) must be returned within 7 days of Delivery.

Change of heart: Goods returned to us because of a change of heart must be unused and in perfect, re-saleable condition (including product packaging, instructions, etc), otherwise we will not be able to refund you. You are responsible for any other service provided to you in connection with your purchase, e.g. upgraded delivery charge. The item(s) must be returned within 7 days of Delivery. When first trying out your new product, please do so somewhere clean and safe - we can't replace muddy, scratched, torn or grass-stained stuff.

Perishable goods: We are unable to accept returns of perishable goods. Bait being the prime example.

Returning a gift: We are happy to exchange faulty or defective products that have been sent as a gift. If you are returning an item but would like to exchange it for something else and you're not sure what, we are happy to issue a gift voucher for the value of the item you are returning. If a refund is required however, please note that refunds of the purchase price for items bought as gifts can only be given to the original purchaser.

Items lost in transit: We cannot be held responsible for packages lost in transit whilst being returned to us: as you are responsible for returning the item(s) to us, we recommend sending the package by Recorded/Special Delivery.

Refunds, replacement and exchanges: Refunds For items that are defective or faulty and sent back to Carp Unlimited within 7 days or the result of a Change of Heart and sent back to Carp Unlimited within 7 days, a refund, replacement or exchange will be processed within 7 working days of receipt of the returned item(s) by us. A refund will be made in the same form of payment that was used to make the initial purchase. Please note that item(s) that are returned to us that are not due to our error will have the return shipping costs deducted from the refund. As we offer Free delivery based on a sale Carp Unlimited will deduct a charge of £8.00 as a result of ‘change of heart’ returns which were sent ‘free delivery’.

Refunds on items with staggered or combo pricing

Carp Unlimited offer certain items eg: higher prices rods & reels with a single price and 2 or more price. Should you buy 2 or more of an item, receive a discounted price then opt to return one your refund will be adjusted. This will result in you paying the single quantity price for the product kept and the remaining balance being refunded.

Please note, in all instances Carp Unlimited shall not be liable for incidental or consequential damages or expenses, including but not limited to lost profits or other economic or commercial losses. This warranty does not affect your statutory rights.

We do except orders from outside the UK, but due to rising trends of credit card fraud and the banks somewhat lack of support in tackling this problem we reserve the right to request further proof of ID, cheque payment or bank transfer or to refuse the order altogether.
