In the case of a change of price, we will always contact you first to ensure that the price is acceptable. We regret that as a process of continual updating and manufacturing processes instigated by the Manufacturer, your goods may be subject to alteration and Saddlery-online cannot accept responsibility for any such changes.

We cannot accept any liability for strike action, industrial action or any other similar dispute which delays our ability to dispatch your goods in the timescales provided.
Our responsibility for delivery of your purchased goods ceases when the carrier has notified the addressee that a delivery attempt has been made, if you are not available to accept your purchase. The payment for the goods and the receipt thereof, unless faulty, constitutes completion of the purchase transaction.

The majority of our parcels are posted by DPD and they may charge an excess over and above the £5.00 for delivering to certain areas (i.e. Scottish Highlands and Islands). Where this is the case, we will email you with a quote for the excess postage charge required.  This additional amount is not charged at the time of your order, but will be require to be paid prior to dispatch.


Other items will be posted by Royal Mail. If the goods are retained at the Post Office for uplift, they must be collected within 7 days. If the goods are returned to us by the Post Office we reserve the right to pass any additional postage charges to you.   We are unable to offer a Saturday delivery service. Bank/Post Office/Royal Mail/Contract Carrier holidays can cause a short delay to delivery times. 

For security reasons, we do require a signature on delivery.  If you are not going to be home, we would ask that you provide an alternative delivery address on your order (ie work address, etc) where someone will be able to sign for the delivery.   Please note **  Our Courier will not leave items where no one is home - items cannot be left in a safe place. 

 

Where items leave us and delivery is attempted more than once, the courier reserves the right to return the item to us if no contact has been made by yourself to arrange alternative delivery times, etc.  Where the item is returned to us (and delivery has been attempted on at least one occasion) we will refund the order minus the original delivery charge as delivery has been attempted. 

Returns Policy

We may exchange goods but only if the packaging and labels are intact and the item is still in brand new condition (we may apply a charge to items that are returned with removed lbes or damaged packing). If you wish to obtain a replacement product or a refund, the goods must be returned within 28 days, with labels and packaging intact, as delivered. We regret we cannot meet your postage costs in these circumstances. We cannot refund postal charges incurred by you.

 

* * Riding Hats * * Unfortunately, we do not accept riding hats as a return, due to them being a safety item.  Please email for more info as required.



If the goods are deemed to be faulty or defective it is your responsibility to return the goods intact, as detailed above. The purchaser is responsible for the cost of returning goods. Proof of Postage should be obtained as customers are responsible for the returned goods until received by Saddle Up Ltd. We cannot offer a goods uplift service.

Generally, goods are checked at our premises prior to dispatch. If the item is not to your liking, we will refund your payment or replace the item. We regret we cannot pay your postage costs in these circumstances. For a refund or exchange you must return the goods to us, in the same packaging and in the same condition as that which they were received.

If the goods are received by you in damaged condition, you must advise us within 4 days of receipt of goods. Specification of goods via our website is such that although every attempt has been made to accurately display the correct colour, shape and size of the items, exact reproduction is not always possible.

ITEMS PURCHASED FROM WITHIN OUR STOCK CLEARANCE SECTION MUST BE RETURNED WITHIN 14 WORKING DAYS OF THE DATE OF RECEIVING THEM.

 

Manufacturers reserve the right to supply goods that may differ in colour and design from that displayed on our website. Consequently, goods supplied to us by a manufacturer may change slightly from the items on our website.
Any items which you return to us must be in the same condition as that which they were received. The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 permits our operatives to refuse to handle or accept soiled goods.

Please note that riding hats are safety items and once they are unpacked from the manufacturers' packing are excluded from your Right to Cancel.  Once these items are correctly and safely delivered they cannot be returned simply because they do not fit or you do not like the style. Once the item has been safely delivered to you the care of it is outside of our control. We do not supply used safety items such as Riding Hats.
