Delivery Issues

 

The courier will contact you via mobile or email on the day of delivery to let you know your parcel is coming. They will also confirm delivery in another email to you immediately after delivery has taken place.

If your parcel actually wasn't delivered correctly, you must notify Ralph & Co within 48 working hours of confirmed delivery. You can let us know straight away on office@ralphand.co

Unfortunately, if there is a problem and we are not notified within 48 hours, although we will do our very best to remedy the issue we will not be held liable for any delays, charges, returns and or losses. This is a 'time is of the essence' clause.

If your parcel has been returned to Ralph & Co due to incorrect postage details supplied by you, we are not able to refund your postage costs. If you qualified for free delivery we reserve the right to deduct £5.99 postage from your payment card to re-send the parcel.

We offer a 1 year warranty on our products only from the date of purchase. The warranty only covers manufacturing defects and does not include accidental damage, wear and tear or customer / dog damage e.g. dog chewing the leather. 

Missing or Damaged Goods

Whilst this almost never happens, if your items arrive missing, damaged or not in a saleable condition, you must notify Ralph & Co within 48 working hours. We are unable to replace or refund such items if they are not reported to us within 48 working hours.

Website Use

Here at Ralph & Co, we've done our very best to design a website that's both appealing to the eye, fun to use, informative and accurate. However sometimes we make mistakes and sometimes so do manufacturers who supply us with product information and advice.

We reserve the right to correct any errors as soon as found and where we're permitted by UK/EU law we disclaim all warranties, express or implied terms, advice and descriptions, as to the accuracy of information on this website.

Placement, Acceptance and Payment

 

You can use this website www.ralphand.co to request an order with us (Ralph & Co) and naturally you are able to change the contents of your cart at any time before you checkout and make payment for the goods. Sometimes, customers may wish to change something in their order so if you want or need to change your order after this time, please email us as soon as possible on office@ralphand.co to avoid disappointment. Unfortunately orders cannot be changed during public holidays and weekends, or after they have been dispatched as your order will be in the hands of the courier.

Being a largely non face to face retail business, we reserve the right to decline or cancel any order placed with us or for any reason at our absolute discretion either before or after payment has been made by you, the customer.

When you make a purchase with Ralph & Co we'll send you an email confirmation of receipt. We're predominantly an online only business and whilst we try our very best to list our inventory as accurately as possible, we can only accept your order and agree the contract of supply when we dispatch your items - this is because we may be out of stock of something you've ordered, or if we think a mistake has been made but we're pleased to say this 'should' never happen.

By purchasing from us you agree that the information you supply to us is accurate and supplied truthfully to the best of your knowledge. Please understand that we cannot be held liable for delivery errors if you have supplied us with incorrect information.

If you attempt to purchase more promotional items than is permitted/advertised by us, we reserve the right to remove those extra items from your order or in some cases actually cancel your order with us.

We accept most credit and debit cards in existence. All orders must be paid for before we dispatch your goods to you. Ralph & Co does not store any credit or debit card numbers or other payment details, instead our third party payment services (PayPal and Shopify) handle this for us.

International orders are shipped using a courier partner. You, the customer, are responsible for any VAT/tax payable, duty, handling/processing fees, customs clearance charges and any other non mentioned fees required by the country of importation.

As clever as we are, there is no way for us to predict the destination country's actions, customs rules, regulations and laws, so please research this before your purchase from us and be prepared to meet these said costs. We cannot be held liable for any costs, mistakes (if yours) or return fees.
