  • Order size and value

From time to time, we may offer:

  • Free delivery promotions
  • Discounted shipping offers

Any applicable shipping costs will be clearly displayed before you complete your purchase.

  • A tracking number (where available)

You can use this tracking information to monitor the status of your delivery in real time.

Tracking updates are provided by the courier and may take time to refresh.

Delivery Requirements and Responsibilities

To ensure successful delivery, customers must:

  • Provide a complete and accurate delivery address
  • Include the correct postcode and contact details
  • Ensure someone is available to receive the parcel

For high-value smartphone deliveries, couriers may require:

  • Signature upon delivery
  • Proof of identity in certain cases

Failure to meet these requirements may result in delays or failed delivery attempts.

Missed Deliveries

If delivery cannot be completed on the first attempt:

  • The courier may attempt redelivery
  • A delivery notification may be left
  • The parcel may be held at a local depot for collection

It is the customer’s responsibility to follow the courier’s instructions and arrange redelivery or collection.

Delivery Delays and External Factors

While we aim to deliver within estimated timelines, delays may occur due to:

  • Severe weather conditions
  • Courier network disruptions
  • Peak periods such as holidays or sales events
  • Incorrect or incomplete delivery details

We are not responsible for delays caused by circumstances outside our control, but we will always assist in tracking and resolving issues where possible.

Risk and Ownership of Goods

Ownership of the product passes to you once the item has been successfully delivered to the provided address.

At that point:

  • Responsibility for the item transfers to the customer
  • Any risk of loss or damage becomes the customer’s responsibility

If a parcel is left in a safe place or with a neighbour at your request, responsibility transfers once delivery is confirmed.

Damaged or Lost Shipments

We take great care in packaging and shipping all orders. However, if an issue occurs:

If Your Item is Damaged

  • Contact us within 48 hours of delivery
  • Provide clear photos of the damage

If Your Item is Lost

  • Contact us with your order details
  • We will investigate with the courier

Resolution

Depending on the outcome, we will:

  • Offer a replacement
  • Issue a refund
  • Provide further support where needed

Incorrect Address or Failed Delivery

If an order is returned due to incorrect or incomplete address information:

  • Re-delivery charges may apply
  • Additional delays may occur

Customers are responsible for ensuring all delivery details are correct at checkout.

Split Deliveries

In certain situations, your order may be split into multiple shipments due to stock availability or logistics.

  • You will be notified if this occurs
  • No additional shipping fees will be charged

Each package will have its own tracking details where applicable.

High-Value Orders and Security Measures

For high-value smartphone orders, additional precautions may be taken:

  • Secure packaging
  • Signature confirmation
  • Delivery verification checks

These measures are in place to ensure your order arrives safely and securely.

International Shipping

At present, HNC MART LIMITED does not offer international shipping.

We only deliver within the United Kingdom.

Future expansion of shipping services may include international destinations.

This may include:

  • Payment verification

Orders that fail verification checks may be delayed or cancelled.
