On rare occasions whereby goods ordered by the purchaser are not available from stock, shedmonkey will notify the buyer and give them the option to wait until the goods are available from stock, accept an alternative product, or be reimbursed and receive a full refund. Very occasionally products featured on the website may be known by different branding names but are in fact the same product stipulated by the manufacturer. Shedmonkey reserve the right to supply these as the products listed on our website, despite in some circumstances being identical. Occasionally, manufactures update and improve products and Shedmonkey reserve the right to supply these to fulfil an order. All images and photography used is purely for illustrative purposes only – actual product colours may vary slightly due to the digital photography process and variations in individual user monitor settings this will not detract from the overall quality or performance of the product. Sizes are approximate only and generally refer to external dimensions (not including the roof overhang). It should also be noted that the exact size dimensions of timber components cannot be guaranteed due to the natural variance of this material depending on its surroundings and climate. For specific dimensions please consult our technical department.
Delivery
Shedmonkey make every effort to deliver goods within the published estimated timescales; however, delays are occasionally inevitable due to unforeseen factors beyond our control and therefore delivery times are not guaranteed. Estimated delivery dates are not part of the contract between Shedmonkey and the buyer, and Shedmonkey shall be under no liability for any delay or failure to deliver the products within the estimated timescales. Unless otherwise agreed in writing by the purchaser and Shedmonkey, the delivery of goods will take place at the address you have specified in the order. When the delivery arrives at the specified address someone must be present to accept it and the delivery must be signed for. Alternatively, an agreement can be made prior to delivery whereby written confirmation, in the form of an email or fax, stating permission is provided to drop the goods off at your given address without the requirement to have anyone present to sign for them. Providing that Shedmonkey delivers the goods to the address you have specified in the order then the goods will be deemed to have been delivered and Shedmonkey will not be liable to you for any subsequent claim of non-delivery. Shedmonkey does not have to be satisfied that the person who accepts delivery at the given address is you (or authorised by you to accept delivery of the goods). The quantity or content of any consignment of goods or components of a good that are recorded by Shedmonkey upon dispatch shall be conclusive evidence of the quantity or content received by you upon delivery unless you can provide conclusive evidence to the contrary. Shedmonkey also reserves the right to suspend future deliveries of goods and cancel any contracts with you if you have a bankruptcy order made against you or make an arrangement or composition with your creditors; convene a meeting of creditors or enter into liquidation. We also reserve the right to suspend any future deliveries should you fail to observe/perform any of your obligations under the contract between you and Shedmonkey. This includes any contract between yourself and Shedmonkey for the sale and purchase of the goods incorporating these conditions, whether effected by electronic mail through this website, or otherwise.
If a delivery is made and nobody is there to sign for the product (unless a pre-agreement has been signed allowing Shedmonkey to leave the product without a signature upon arrival), the product will be returned to base and be awaiting another suitable dispatch date. In these circumstances the purchaser will be held responsible for paying all additional delivery costs to have the item re transported. For some of Shedmonkey’s products, such as log cabins and certain other large garden buildings, it is your responsibility to ensure someone is available to assist in the off loading of these goods upon arrival. This person must be fit and capable of lifting items of up to 25kg in weight as Shedmonkey may only send one delivery driver and some components can weigh up to 50kg. In these circumstances if an attempted delivery is made and there is no-one present and capable to assist our driver the building/s will be returned to base and the purchaser will be liable for all costs associated with a second attempted delivery. Shedmonkey cannot be held responsible for any damage or injury sustained due to incorrect unloading, usage or assembly of any of our products.
Please note – If you order a garden shed outside of our delivery zone, the lead time can be extended and charges will apply. Please contact us for further information.
In the event that a customer purchases an installation service for one of the products on the website the customer is thereby agreeing to adhere to the terms and conditions of the installation service. This will typically include the provision of a firm and level base to be in place and accessible on the agreed date of installation. Failure to provide such a base will result in the installation being aborted at the expense of the customer who would then have to pay further charges should they wish to re-arrange the installation.

Cancellations and Returns
The buyer shall inspect the goods immediately upon receipt and shall notify Shedmonkey by email as soon as possible after the delivery has been made if the goods are damaged or do not comply with any of the contract. If the buyer fails to do so the buyer shall be deemed to have accepted the goods. Where a claim of defect or damage is made, Shedmonkey will supply/replace any necessary parts to complete your agreed initial purchase. If you are a consumer you have the right, in addition to your other rights, to cancel the contract and receive a refund by informing the seller by email within 14 working days after the day of delivery of the goods. You will be asked, however, to pay the costs of the return postage/carriage to one of Shedmonkey’s distribution centres or for the collection charge by one of Shedmonkey’s pre-approved couriers. If the buyer fails to return the goods following cancellation or does not pay the returning delivery fee issued by Shedmonkey, Shedmonkey reserve the right and is entitled to deduct the cost of recovering the goods from any refund issued. If Shedmonkey send you the incorrect product or if, upon receipt of all relevant evidence, we deem it has arrived faulty or damaged, you will be offered a full refund and exemption from delivery costs. Shedmonkey will not accept any product for return if it has been assembled, modified or customised in any way including being subject to the application of chemicals or paints. Shedmonkey will require photographic evidence of any complaints, defects, requests to return a product outside the initial 14 day period or claims of incorrect or incomplete product delivery. Any cancellation within the initial 14 day period will be refunded within 30 days of notification to cancel being received – for any cancellation outside of this timeframe all refunds will be processed within 30 days after the product has been successfully returned. Where exchange rates of currency are involved, the refund will be made in pound sterling and at the current exchange rate. Shedmonkey does not accept responsibility for any loss or gain caused by changes in the exchange rate between the time or ordering and the time of issuing a refund.
If you wish to cancel an order before it has been delivered, you must contact Shedmonkey immediately. You must confirm your cancellation in writing via fax or email. If you cancel via telephone your order will be put on hold until a written cancellation has been received. If the building has been manufactured there may be a cancellation charge dependant on the individual case. If you have given us a valid email address, you will receive an update email when the building has entered the manufacturing stage.
Please note: all sizes and measurements are approximations only and while Shedmonkey will endeavour to ensure all products are manufactured as close as possible to the measurements provided we cannot be held responsible should there be a discretion in the finished size.
Bespoke / Customised Products
Goods that are ordered to your specification, for example made to order sheds and log cabins, cannot be cancelled or returned once the order is accepted. In this case, after we have sent you our confirmation email you will have entered into a binding contract to buy the goods, and because the goods are being made to your specification you will not be able to cancel that contract. Once the goods have been delivered you can only return them if they are not of satisfactory quality or reasonably fit for the purpose and we cannot remedy the fault to your reasonable satisfaction. Orders of bespoke products may also extend the average delivery lead time.
Timber and Other Natural Products
Timber is a natural product and prone to changes in appearance, including some movement and the occurance of small knot holes or splits in extreme temperatures and weather conditions. Any splits, knots or similar visual imperfections in the timber will not affect the structural integrity of the product in any way. Whilst every effort is made to hand pick timber without visible knotholes or splits there may be occasions where timber is selected in good faith that contains what appears to be a solid knot. Over the course of time / during movement of the product etc it may occur that these small knot holes are then dislodged from the timber leaving a small knot or crack. Unfortunately we cannot be held responsible for this maturing of the product and can only offer our best advice as how to deal with this situation in the unlikely event that it should occur. When measuring timber for the purpose of technical information the absolute external dimensions will be taken from a sample piece of each component used – it should be noted that due to the complex nature of the product and machining processes that this figure will give an average measurement that could be subject to slight variance throughout the rest of the individual boards in the pack measured. Whilst every effort will be made to select only components which match the average advertised sizing this is subject to the availability of the timber that has been machined and cannot be guaranteed.
Please note any guarantee offered does not cover the products against timber splits or warping. These are natural characteristics of the products and not defects and neither will these circumstances be accepted as a valid reason for the cancellation of an order, as this can occur naturally over time.
