Formation of agreement

2.1 An agreement governing your use of the BrandAlley website, all stages of the process and our sale of goods when we receive confirmation of your order is made on the basis of these terms and conditions (this agreement between us is referred to in these terms and conditions as the "Agreement").
 
2.2 Buyers must be over the age of 18 years old and have full legal capacity.
 
2.3 Amendment to Terms: BrandAlley reserves the right to modify this Agreement. The terms and conditions in force at the time an order is confirmed will govern any particular order. We will keep a record of terms and conditions and dates of any changes made.
 
2.4 Dispatch Dates: BrandAlley is a specialist online retailer that offers end-of-line products, including designer and selected brands’ clothing, accessories, beauty products, shoes and homeware at discounted prices to registered members. All sales are limited in terms of time and stock and all orders are subject to availability. Due to the nature of our business, we may not have the items in stock. Instead, we would have reserved the items with our supplier for the duration of the sale and only ordered it from our supplier at the end of the sale and therefore we may have to wait to receive items from our suppliers. Consequently, whilst we endeavour to dispatch items within the indicated dates, orders may sometimes take longer and we will advise Buyers of the status where applicable.
 
2.5 Payment: Payment will be deducted from the Buyer’s debit/credit card or PayPal account within four (4) working days of an order being accepted by BrandAlley.

Why not choose to upgrade your order to express delivery for items that are immediately available?

Here’s how it works:

  • Place your order by 6pm Monday to Friday to get it the next day.
  • Orders placed after 6pm Friday to 2pm Sunday will be delivered on Monday, please note for the following postcodes orders will be delivered on Tuesday:
  • BT, TR, PL, EX, IoM, TD, ML, KA, EH, G, KY, FK, PA, PH, DD. AB, IV

Please note express delivery to the following postcodes is always two working days: HS2,  KW 16-17,  PA61 – PA75,  PA78,  PH30,  PH41-44,  ZE 2-3

Next day delivery will cost:

  • £ 7.50 for deliveries to Mainland UK.

Sadly, we are unable to offer next day delivery to Ireland or the Channel Islands.

 
7.2 Status: All items will be delivered to the Buyer’s registered address or, where requested by the Buyer as part of the order process, to another address selected for that particular order. It is your responsibility to give us the full and correct delivery address details. We are not able to deliver to PO Box numbers and cannot receive amendments to the delivery address once the order is being prepared in our warehouse or has been dispatched from our warehouse.
 
7.3 Tracking Item(s): Following the dispatch of the order from our warehouse, the Buyer will receive an email specifying the tracking number and a link to track the parcel on the website of our designated courier. The parcel will usually be delivered between two (2) to three (3) working days of receipt of the email.

Failed Delivery

8.1 If your order has been dispatched via DPD;
 
If the recipient of the order is not present at the time of delivery, a delivery note will be left, stating that the courier will re-attempt delivery the following day, or that the parcel has been left in a secure location outside of the property or with a neighbour. If this is not possible, the parcel will be returned to the courier delivery depot and the driver will attempt to deliver your parcel the following day. If the parcel has been returned to the courier depot after three (3) attempts, then the parcel will be returned to our warehouse. It will automatically be returned to BrandAlley as undeliverable. We are unable to resend packages that are returned to us as undeliverable. In that case, we will refund the Buyer the value of the goods ordered including delivery charges. It can take up to 15 days for our warehouse to process your refund from the date the courier has advised the parcel has been returned to sender.
 
If your order has been dispatched via Royal Mail;
 
If you’re not around at the time of delivery, Royal Mail will take your parcel back to the delivery office and leave you a “something for you card” detailing where your parcel has been taken back to, and what to do next:
 
• Go to your local delivery office to collect it (address and opening hours will be on the card)
 
• Arrange a re-delivery
 
Free to your own address
 
Free to another address in your postcode area
 
Or for a small fee of 70p, to your local Post Office branch. The 70p is payable when you collect your item from your local Post Office branch. Royal Mail will require proof of identification, as well as your “something for you card”. Royal Mail will hold your items for 18 calendar days before returning the items back to BrandAlley. Should your items be returned to BrandAlley, a full refund will be issued on receipt of the returned parcel.
 
8.2 If you are disputing a delivery of your order, this must be raised with our customer experience team within 10 days of the stated delivery date on the courier tracking. All requests sent after this timeframe will be unable to be processed as a claim and will be deemed as delivered successfully. We require an investigation with the specified courier, each courier may differ in the length of time the investigation takes. Once the courier has completed their investigation and your order has been processed for a claim, we will offer a full refund or replacement of the order (subject to stock availability). If your order has been investigated and the courier states this has been delivered successfully, we will be unable to process a claim and therefore we cannot provide a refund or replacement. If your order has been sent to you directly by one of our suppliers, we must allow the relevant brand to complete an investigation with their courier. This must be raised with our customer experience team within 10 days of the stated delivery date.

Damaged or defective orders

Subject to a full investigation by us with our supplier and with the courier, BrandAlley will provide a full refund for a defective, incorrect or missing item (return postal charges will only be refunded where the item has been found to be wrongly described or defective). This does not affect your statutory cancellation rights under paragraphs 10.1 to 10.9 below.

Electrical Recycling

If you are buying a new electrical item, we will recycle your old one providing it’s a ‘like for like’ exchange.  

Why recycle?
Unwanted electrical equipment is the UKs fastest growing type of waste.Many electrical items can be repaired or recycled, saving natural resources and the environment.  If you do not recycle, electrical equipment will end up in landfill where hazardous substances will leak out and cause soil and water contamination – harming wildlife and also human health.  

What is WEEE?
The Waste Electrical or Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive requires countries to maximise separate collection and environmentally friendly processing of these items.  In the UK, distributors (including retailers) must provide a system which allows all customers buying new electrical equipment the opportunity to recycle their old items. 
Find more information on WEEE recycling, and locate your local recycling centre, at www.recyclenow.com.   

We can help
We are pleased to offer our customers the chance to recycle their old electrical items. Please note that we will only accept items for recycling that match what you have purchased from our site.  

As such please send your item to:
BrandAlley Customer Service
Telephone House
69-77 Paul Street
London
EC2A 4NW  

To remind you that old electrical equipment can be recycled, it is now marked with a crossed-out wheeled bin symbol. Please do not throw any electrical equipment (including those marked with the crossed out wheeled bin symbol) in your bin.
