Buying Products on Our Website

All of our prices are inclusive of VAT. Delivery charges will be calculated during the checkout process, after you choose your preferred delivery method. We try to have accurate pricing and availability information on all the products we offer; despite our best efforts, a small number of the products in our catalogue may be mispriced or have inaccurate stock availability information. We do verify prices as part of our acceptance procedure, and will inform you if a product's correct price is higher than that stated in your order, so you may ultimately decide whether or not to order the product at the correct price. We may change the price of any product at any time before you place an order. If the goods you have ordered are not in stock, we may send an e-mail to inform you, at which time you may cancel your order. We do our best to accurately estimate when items will be despatched and/or delivered; however, these estimates are based on several factors over which we have no control and as such, time for despatch and/or delivery shall not be of the essence of the contract and should be considered as rough estimates only.

 
Complaints Policy

We want your shopping experience to be problem free. An important part of our customer service policy is that all complaints, which you may have about our services, are fully investigated.

We will endeavour to resolve complaints within 5 working days of you advising us. If it is going to take longer to resolve your complaint we will let you know how long it may take to respond more fully.

We have two distinct stages in our complaint procedure which are fully explained below.

Stage 1
Most customers' concerns can be resolved through our customer service teams, as the advisors are fully trained to deal with your complaint quickly and efficiently.

Please call 08707 662 644 to speak to one of our advisors. Please remember to have your order number ready, as this will help us to deal with your complaint more efficiently. Alternatively you can email our customer service team at shopkeeper@fonem8.com

To cancel your order before delivery, you must first check your order status within the order tracking facility as detailed in the order tracking section above. If your order has not reached the delivery process, a customer service operative will be able to cancel your order. Please call 08707 662 644 with your order number ready.

Delayed/Lost Delivery

If you have not received your order within 15 working days of despatch, you must immediately advise FoneM8 Customer Services of the delay/loss. In the event of a replacement order being sent, you will need to complete a "declaration of non-delivery" of the initial order. The declaration form will be sent to the email address supplied with the initial order, and on receipt; requires completion in full and return by the freepost address supplied by Customer Services.

Should the completed non-delivery declaration form not be received within 10 working days of receipt, then you will become liable for the cost of the initial goods & postage, which will then be charged to the method of payment for your order. This charge will be refunded upon receipt of the completed non-delivery declaration form if received within 21 working days of the despatch of your replacement order. Duplicate forms can be requested from FoneM8 Customer Services.

Based upon the circumstances, and FoneM8's sole discretion which is non-negotiable.
