Damage deposit
We understand that things don't always go according to plan and that sometimes, sadly, items will get chipped or broken. To cover the cost of replacement, we ask for a damage deposit, payable by cash or separate returnable cheque, of £80 per order.
Chipped, broken or missing items will be deducted from the damage deposit at the following rates:
Tea pot £10
Cake stand £15
Cutlery item £ 3
Delivery box £10
Table cloth £20
All other items £ 5
If the amount payable by you for lost or damaged items exceeds the damage deposit, you must pay the balance to us.

For locations outside this radius we will charge 45p per mile, based on 2 round trips per order.
eg. an event 40 miles from Timperley will incur a delivery charge of £18 (20 extra miles x 2 round trips x 45p per mile)
