Specifications may change without notice. Please confirm any specific details before ordering.

DELIVERY
The Stove Store Chesham Supplies Ltd try to pay the full delivery cost for our customers, but do ask for a contribution towards the cost of delivery for some items and to some destinations.
Free standard delivery is available for the majority of orders over £100 to mainland UK, except certain Highland postcodes, that incur a charge of £150. Additional delivery charges may apply for orders to Ireland or Northern Ireland.
Purchases under £100 incur a nominal £15.00 delivery fee.
Cheque payments must be cleared before goods can be released from stock.
Dispatch for delivery normally takes up to two weeks, depending on availability. It can take up to six weeks in some instances, if the lead time is longer than two weeks you will be informed by email of the estimated lead time for your goods.
Delivery of stoves to Ireland or Northern Ireland is available for selected products only. We do not deliver stoves outside the UK, Ireland and Northern Ireland. You will be contacted before your order is processed to confirm eligibility. This excludes any promotional offers we may run from time to time.
Your goods will be delivered on a 10 tonne delivery vehicle (about the size of a bin wagon). Please let us know, as soon as possible, if there will be a problem with access, so we can make alternative delivery arrangements.
Stoves & Fireplaces are very heavy. There will be one driver who will help, but we suggest you have at least one other person with you to assist.
The driver will move the stove to the nearest wheel point, depending on access. The driver will be unable to move the goods across graveled, or unfinished drives, through narrow openings, or up steps.
We must advise that you check the goods while the driver is still there. The driver is obliged to wait with you up to 15 minutes (for palletised goods only), whilst you unpack the goods.
If the driver refuses to wait then please mark the goods as damaged on the delivery note, so you are covered for all eventualities.
If you have checked the goods and they are found to be damaged, please mark this clearly on the delivery note.
If goods are damaged please contact our Customer Service team, quoting your Order Reference and Delivery Note, and we will ensure replacement parts are sent out immediately.
If you are unavailable when your palletised stove is delivered at your pre-booked time, then re-delivery charges will apply.
If you are unavailable when package goods (e.g. fireside accessories) are delivered, the courier company will leave a note, explaining how to re-arrange delivery for a more convenient time.
If you cancel an order after it has been dispatched, we regret that you will be charged for the return delivery costs, even if the products have not reached your address.
