General delivery information available from the auctioneer
Delivery of Won Lots: PLEASE SEE 'IMPORTANT INFORMATION' for details of updates we have made to our delivery & collection services due to the coronavirus pandemic.
PLEASE NOTE: Some auctioned items are held off-site and must first be delivered to our premises by a third party before they are available for delivery. Lead times, where applicable, are provided in the Lot description (except for all Garden Buildings and Hot Tubs, These are detailed within the Lot under description – see section 3).
1. Some items can usually be packed and shipped to arrive next day upon receipt of payment. This includes items which are available from stocks we hold on site. For such items, applicable delivery costs are automatically added to your invoice. Please note that we can only ship once payment is received.
Shipping smaller items to a UK Destination via DPD - the following prices should be taken as a guide only:
Items weighing under 2kg - from £8.50;
Items between 2kg and 10kg - from £10;
Items over 10kg and up to 20kg - from £15 (insured for loss, not damage).
Standard terms & conditions limit liability to a maximum cover per consignment of £10 per kilo with an excess of £50. Exclusions apply.
PLEASE NOTE the above prices do not include shipment of TVs, monitors, or other large and/or fragile items. We will only ship these items via courier if the buyer is willing to accept responsibility for the item in transit.
If you have included a mobile phone number on your registration, we will give this to the courier company and the driver will text you to advise an approximate delivery time on the day of delivery. If you are not in when delivery is attempted, the shipment will return to the local depot for you to collect or re-arrange delivery.
2. Larger items are usually shipped by pallet @ from £80 + VAT per pallet, subject to delivery destination.
(Please note: pallets can only be delivered to kerbside, so please ensure you have someone available to help carry the goods at the delivery address)
This includes TVs, monitors, garden furniture, tool chests, large/heavy items such as generators, white goods and quad bikes, and large mixed consignments of stock.
It is possible to send TVs over 49” in size via courier, but this is done at the buyer's risk. General stock is sent with a weight-based insurance, whilst TVs are sent with extra insurance because of their increased value. Typically, pallets take 3-6 days to arrive from receipt of payment, except where there is a different lead time stated.
3. Garden buildings & hot tubs
These are shipped from overseas. The delivery timescale is subject to variation according to volume of orders and is currently described on the Lots and description.
Factors which may lead to a delay in timescales include adverse weather conditions, public holidays, delays outside of our control (Such as Transport issues, Manufacturing delays and Material shortage)
When you purchase a garden building/hot tub, you will see on your invoice that it says ‘Contact us for shipping quote’. We can provide a quote for delivery of these items. Buyers will receive a separate email detailing the information needed to request a quote. Buyers can alternatively arrange collection from our premises. We can let you know the full dimensions of your cabin to enable safe offloading.
It is possible to collect some smaller cabins by van, but this is at the buyer's risk, and requires unpacking of the cabin from its pallet and removal of the packaging from our site.
If it's not possible to arrange delivery direct to the buyer, or the buyer is arranging collection, the shipment will come to our premises and we will advise buyers when the goods have arrived with us.

PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE YOU BID
We are a Commercial Auction Company. We service the reseller marketplace and specialise in wholesale stock clearance, primarily selling new or A graded stock (see our grading guide for more information). We are not a retail company; therefore all sales sit outside of the standard consumer legislation.
Multiple Lots: As a commercial auctioneer, many of our Lots will be sold in multiples. Any Lot with a quantity of 2 or more will be listed as such under the current bid price. This will mean that the bid price will be multiplied by the quantity, of which is further clarified before a bid is confirmed.
Final Price Calculator: The price that you bid is not the final price. All Lots marked V are subject to 20% VAT on the hammer price, all Lots will be subject to Buyers Premium at 21%, and an internet service charge will be applied. The easiest way to calculate your total (minus shipping) is using our easy-to-use Final Price Calculator.
Payment: You may need to pay a deposit which will form part of your final payment and will be detailed on your invoice when we request the outstanding amount. A pro-forma invoice will be sent, once the sale has been completed, which must be settled in full within 24 hours. If payment is not received within this time, addition charges may be incurred. For your security, we cannot accept payment by card over the phone. If you do not receive your invoice please send an email to invoices@haddonandjames.co.uk stating INVOICE NOT RECEIVED in the subject line.
We reserve the right to charge storage on items where the invoice is outstanding after the allotted time: £1 per day for small items and £5 per day for large items.
Lot Descriptions: Wherever possible we will use actual photos of the lots, but we occasionally need to use stock photos. Please read the descriptions carefully before bidding and check for the quality against our grading guide.
Delivery of Won Lots
1. Most items can be packed and shipped to arrive next day upon receipt of payment.
This includes many electronic items, tools, bedding, toys, gadgets, toiletries, and small appliances, which are immediately available from stocks we hold on site. For such items, you will see that delivery costs are automatically added to your invoice.
We pick these items every day and goods are picked, packed and shipped in the order that payments are received, in our own purpose designed boxes, using our re-cycled filler.
For example:
- Auction ends Monday
- Invoices sent Tuesday
- Payment received Tuesday evening
- Goods packed and shipped Tuesday / Wednesday
- Items arrive Wednesday / Thursday
These timescales may be slightly extended during busy periods, but we endeavour to send out items as soon as possible. Please note that we can only ship once payment is received.
Some items are held off-site and must first be delivered to our premises by a third party before they are available for delivery. This can add up to 12 working days to the process.
Shipping to a UK Destination via DPD, with a valid postcode - the following prices should be taken as a guide only:
Items weighing under 2kgs - from £8.50;
Items weighing between 2kgs and 10kgs - from £10;
Larger items over 10kgs and up to 20kgs - from £15 (insured for loss, not damage).
Standard terms & conditions limit liability to a maximum cover per consignment of £10 per kilo with an excess of £50. Exclusions apply.
PLEASE NOTE that the above prices do not include shipment of liquids, TVs, monitors, or other large and/or fragile items. We will only ship these items via courier if the buyer is willing to accept responsibility for the item in transit.
If you have included a mobile phone number on your registration, we will pass this on to the courier company and the driver will send you a text to advise an approximate delivery time on the day of delivery. If you are not in when delivery is attempted, the shipment will return to the local depot for you to collect or re-arrange delivery.
If you would prefer to collect in person, or arrange collection by a third party, please inform us at your earliest convenience by email to invoices@haddonandjames.co.uk, including the invoice number for your order. If anyone is collecting on your behalf, please ensure they have a printed or electronic copy of your invoice.
2. Larger items are usually shipped by pallet via Pallex.
(Please note: pallets can only be delivered to kerbside, so please ensure you have someone available to help carry the goods at the delivery address)
This includes TVs, monitors, garden furniture, tool chests, large/heavy items such as generators and quad bikes, and large mixed consignments of stock. We have tested many different methods of shipping TVs etc. and we have found that carefully preparing each pallet and ensuring all items are properly protected – sometimes by customising or combining two pallets - is the safest method.
It is possible to send TVs through the courier network with little or no protection, but we’d much rather such items arrived in great condition every time. General stock is sent with a weight-based insurance, whilst TVs are sent with extra insurance because of their increased value. Typically, pallets take 3-6 days to arrive from receipt of payment. Personal collection from our site in St. Albans is also an option, whereby the buyer takes responsibility for the safe transportation of the goods.
If you would prefer to collect in person, or arrange collection by a third party, please inform us at your earliest convenience by email to invoices@haddonandjames.co.uk, including the invoice number for your order. If anyone is collecting on your behalf, please ensure they have a printed or electronic copy of your invoice.
3. Garden buildings and hot tubs are also typically sent by pallet
These are shipped to the UK via lorry and ferry. In most cases we can expect the consignments to arrive approximately 18 working days after your payment is received, unless stated otherwise in the product description. This timescale may increase during the peak sale period (May to September).
Factors which may lead to a delay in timescales include:
- Weather conditions
- Transport issues
- Public holidays
- Transport related strikes and industrial disputes
- Maximising truck fill and weight
- A delay in buyer communication
When you purchase a garden building/hot tub, you will see on your invoice, next to ‘Packing & Shipping’, that it says ‘Contact us for shipping quote’. We can provide a quote for delivery of these items, or buyers can arrange collection by a third party from our premises. In either case, we can let you know the full dimensions of your cabin to enable safe off – loading.
To request a quote for delivery, please email enquiries@haddonandjames.co.uk with Shipping Quote as the email subject line. Include the following information in your email:
- Invoice number
- Delivery address including postcode
- Is there easy access to the delivery site? (Larger garden buildings will be delivered on an articulated lorry wherever possible)
- Is there a forklift truck capable of lifting 3+ tonnes available at the delivery address? (Required for deliveries via articulated lorry)
If necessary, we can put you in touch with transport companies that we’ve used successfully in the past, including trucks with hiab crane to unload to your site.
It is possible to collect some smaller cabins by van, but this is entirely at the buyer's risk, and requires unpacking of the cabin from its pallet and removal of the packaging from our site.
We will always try to arrange delivery direct to the buyer, but if that’s not possible, or the buyer is arranging collection, the shipment will be directed to our premises for onward shipping and we will advise buyers when the goods have arrived with us.
If you would prefer to collect in person, or arrange collection by a third party, please inform us at your earliest convenience by email to invoices@haddonandjames.co.uk, including the invoice number for your order. If anyone is collecting on your behalf, please ensure they have a printed or electronic copy of your invoice.
Product Grading Guide (NOTE: V denotes that VAT is payable)
Each Lot will be listed with a grade (shown in the title/description) which will describe the condition of the item. If there is a 'V' at the beginning of the listing, this is to notify that this item is subject to VAT.
Brand New: This will include all brand new stock, usually with factory or warehouse seal in-tact if appropriate. It can be expected to be in full working order. Sometimes these items may have a supplier or manufacturer warranty.
Grade A: This will include brand new items, obsolete stock, end of range, clearance stock, manufacturer and factory refurbished (graded). The condition can be regarded as new/unused and is usually (but not always) within the original packaging. The original packaging may or may not be complete with a factory seal intact. It can be expected to be in full working order. Minor imperfections which will not affect the overall performance of the item may be present. Sometimes these items will have a supplier or manufacturer warranty.
Grade B: This will include new and factory refurbished stock (graded). Items may be in the original or a generic box. Items will usually be complete and with accessories, although minor parts or accessories may not be present. These items will be expected to be in working order but may have blemishes or cosmetic marks that do not affect the overall performance. Sometimes these items may have a supplier or manufacturer warranty.
Grade C: This will include items both new or showing signs of use. Items may or may not be in original packaging or the packaging may be missing. Accessories may be present or missing and the items may have cosmetic marks. Minor parts may not be present but generally the item will be functional, albeit that some work may be required. Generally these items can be used but may benefit from refurbishment. This category can include customer return items.
Grade D: This will include both functional and non-functional items. Accessories and packaging may or may not be present. Generally these items will require refurbishment and the quality may be as high as categories A, B and C. Items will generally be useable, but may require further parts or accessories.
Grade U: This category will include unchecked customer returns, Lost and Found property, seized property, house clearance effects, new, used or damaged items, incomplete items and salvage stock (for spares/repairs). Sometimes these items may be in perfect condition but they are unchecked.
The above is only a guide to what condition items can be expected to be in. It is not a guarantee that any item will match exactly the criteria above and all purchasers are advised to fully inspect or enquire about items prior to bidding.
Please note: we make every effort to obtain realistic RRPs (Recommended Retail Prices) and ISPs (Internet Sales Prices) from either the Vendor, or genuine sources (eBay, Amazon, Large Retailers etc); however, these prices will fluctuate over time and we strongly recommend that the buyer makes their own enquiries.
Contact: The fastest and most efficient way to get in touch is by email.

- How the contract is formed between you and us
6.1 Before you can buy Items through our auction bidding process, you must first register with us. We reserve the right to refuse any sale to you if you have not registered with us first. Upon registration:
6.1.1 you agree to adhere to these Terms and any document referred to within them, as amended from time to time;
6.1.2 you agree to pay a deposit of £50 or other such amount as we may reasonably determine from sale to sale. Should you choose to use a credit card for payment of the deposit, then a 2.5% card fee will be applied to the transaction, which is non-returnable;

6.1.4 you agree not to place any bid that you do not have sufficient funds to purchase and acknowledge that, if your bid is successful at auction in securing an Item, we reserve the right not to accept your bid as constituting an offer to place an order if your minimum deposit has not been maintained due to your acts or omissions.
You agree that the requirements of this clause 6.1 are reasonable and will be enforceable by us as a method of maintaining adequate protection in respect of any payment made or due by you to us.
6.2 Once you have registered with us, our registration pages will guide you through the steps you need to take to bid upon an Item with us. Our bidding process allows you to check and amend any errors before submitting your bid to us. Please take the time to read and check your bid at each page of the bidding process. Important information, many of our lots for sale include multiple Items (for example, a lot marked x2 contains two Items, a lot marked x 4 contains four Items or so forth). Therefore, if you successfully secure the purchase of such a lot, your bid will be multiplied by the relevant number of Items and the obligation is on you to ensure that you check how many Items are included within a lot when placing a bid to avoid over-purchasing an Item. No refund will be permissible in the event that you, by your bidding actions, commit to over-purchase an Item. If you require any further clarification, please contact us.
6.3 After you place a bid, this does not mean that your bid has been accepted nor that your bid is a successful order of the Items you bid upon. Our acceptance of your bid and, if your bid is successful in securing the purchase of any Item, your order will take place as described in clause 6.4.
6.4 At the end of an auction held by us:
6.4.1 the highest bidder will normally be the successful purchaser, save that occasionally highest bids will be removed if the bidder cannot be contacted, is in our reasonable opinion unlikely to pay on time or a dispute arises;
6.4.2 acceptance of the final highest bid is subject to our approval and, if applicable, the approval of the vendor who placed the Item for sale (including, but not limited to, failure to meet any reserve price);
6.4.3 if you placed the final highest bid ("Order"), we will confirm our acceptance to you by sending you an e-mail that confirms your offer to purchase the Items ("Confirmation"), which may be subject to us having sufficient stock available to complete your Order. The Contract between us will only be formed when we send you the Confirmation; and
6.4.4 if you did not place the final highest bid, your offer to purchase the Items shall not be progressed further, unless your bid becomes the final highest bid as a result of the application of this clause 6.4.
6.5 Any dispute regarding the bidding process will be determined by the relevant auctioneer in his or her sole discretion and such determination will be final and binding. The auctioneer may choose to repeat the auction.
6.6 If we are unable to supply you with an Item, for example because that Item has sold out or is no longer available or because of an error in the price on our site as referred to in clause 12.5, we will inform you of this by e-mail and we will not process your purchase. If you have already paid for the Items, we will refund you the full amount including any delivery costs charged as soon as possible.
6.7 Our policy is not to publish any reserve prices we have agreed with our vendors, and such prices remain confidential between us and our vendors. We reserve the right to place a bid on behalf of a vendor up to the agreed reserve price.

9.2 Every time you place a successful bid that leads to an Order from us, the Terms in force at the time of your Order will apply to the Contract between you and us.
9.3 We may revise these Terms as they apply to your Order from time to time to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements.
9.4 If we have to revise these Terms as they apply to your Order, we will contact you to give you reasonable advance notice of the changes and let you know how to cancel the Contract if you are not happy with the changes. You may cancel either in respect of all the affected Items or just the Items you have yet to receive.

12.2 We reserve the right to:
12.2.1 charge you a reasonable storage fee calculated on a daily basis from the time that risk passes to you under clause 8.1 until actual delivery or collection in accordance with clause 10. This is currently £5 per day for large items and £1 per day for all other items; and
12.2.2 resell or otherwise dispose of part or all of the Items if, after two months in storage, you have failed to collect or take delivery of the Items . After deducting our reasonable storage and selling costs, we will account to you for any excess over the price of the Items or charge you for any shortfall below the price of the Items.
12.3 We take all reasonable care to ensure that any estimated value attributed to an Item is correct at the time when the relevant information was entered onto the system. However, you are responsible for verifying and checking such information, which is provided by us in good faith to be used simply as a guide.
12.4 The price of an Item excludes VAT, which will be added (where applicable) at the applicable current rate chargeable in theUK for the time being. However, if the rate of VAT changes between the date of your Order and the date of delivery, we will adjust the VAT you pay, unless you have already paid for the Items in full before the change in VAT takes effect.
12.5 If we mistakenly accept and process your Order where the price is an obvious and unmistakeable error, and could reasonably have been recognised by you as such, we may cancel your purchase and refund you any sums you have paid.
12.6 In the event that you suspect any Item you have collected or taken delivery of is a deliberate forgery, you must follow the process below:
12.6.1 you must notify us immediately of your suspicions and such notice must be received by us no later than 7 days after the auction sale;
12.6.2 within 14 days of serving such notice, you must return the Item(s) to us with evidence capable of satisfying us that the Item(s) is a deliberate forgery. For the avoidance of doubt, the burden of proof will be on you to show the Item(s) is a forgery; and
12.6.3 if we are satisfied that the Item(s) is a forgery, we will rescind the sale and refund you the price paid for the Item(s), save that in the event you did not notify us of your suspicions in sufficient time for us to prevent payment for the Item(s) being passed to the vendor of the Item(s), we cannot refund you the price paid for the Item(s) and we shall have no further liability to you. We will nevertheless offer reasonable assistance to you in respect of any claim you wish to bring against the vendor of the Item(s).

13.1 We offer a variety of ways to pay including most credit cards, bank transfer and online payment link for debit and credit cards. There are some credit cards, for instance Amex, that we do not accept.
13.2 Bank surcharges may apply to your chosen method of payment.
13.3 Payment for Items and all applicable delivery charges is in advance. You agree that we may charge the credit or debit card that you have registered with us in payment of any invoice that we issue to you (usually after 5pm on the second working day following the day of the auction sale).
- Guarantees, warranties and inspection
14.1 Some of the Items we sell to you come with a manufacturer’s and/or supplier’s guarantee and/or warranty. For details of the applicable terms and conditions, please refer to the manufacturer’s and/or supplier’s guarantee and/or warranty provided with the Items. Please note:
14.1.1 in the event of a manufacturer’s guarantee or warranty, you will be responsible for dealing with the manufacturer directly. In respect of returned Items, you will be responsible for delivery of the Items to the manufacturer and any costs of delivery or associated costs, unless the manufacturer agrees that it shall be responsible for such costs;
14.1.2 in the event of a supplier’s guarantee or warranty, you will be responsible, in respect of returned Items, for delivery to our premises (as set out in clause 1.1). You will be responsible for the cost of delivery and other associated costs, unless the supplier agrees that it shall be responsible for such costs; and
14.1.3 all Items returned pursuant to this clause 14.1 must be returned with original packaging that is complete and intact.
14.2 As a ‘wholesale’ business:
14.2.1 we do warrant nor guarantee any Items;
14.2.2 all Items are sold ‘second hand’ or ‘as is’ and we therefore encourage you to fully inspect any Item before you place a bid on it; and
14.2.3 where an issue is brought to our attention by you or anyone else in relation to an Item, we will use reasonable endeavours to bring this to the attention of all potential bidders (for example, that an Item is faulty, damaged or not working).

15.5 Except as expressly stated in these Terms, we do not give any representation, warranties or undertakings in relation to the Items. Any representation, condition or warranty which might be implied or incorporated into these Terms by statute, common law or otherwise is excluded to the fullest extent permitted by law. In particular, we will not be responsible for ensuring that the Items are suitable for your purposes.
- Events outside our control
16.1 We will not be liable or responsible for any failure to perform, or delay in performance of, any of our obligations under a Contract that is caused by an Event Outside Our Control. An Event Outside Our Control is defined below in clause 16.2.
16.2 An "Event Outside Our Control" means any act or event beyond our reasonable control, including without limitation strikes, lock-outs or other industrial action by third parties, civil commotion, riot, invasion, terrorist attack or threat of terrorist attack, war (whether declared or not) or threat or preparation for war, fire, explosion, storm, flood, earthquake, subsidence, epidemic or other natural disaster, or failure of public or private telecommunications networks or impossibility of the use of railways, shipping, aircraft, motor transport or other means of public or private transport.
16.3 If an Event Outside Our Control takes place that affects the performance of our obligations under a Contract:
16.3.1 we will contact you as soon as reasonably possible to notify you; and
16.3.2 our obligations under a Contract will be suspended and the time for performance of our obligations will be extended for the duration of the Event Outside Our Control. Where the Event Outside Our Control affects our delivery of Items to you, we will arrange a new delivery date with you after the Event Outside Our Control is over.
- Communications between us
17.1 When we refer, in these Terms, to “in writing”, this will include e-mail.
17.2 Any notice or other communication given by you to us, or by us to you, under or in connection with the Contract shall be in writing and shall be delivered personally, sent by pre-paid first class post or other next working day delivery service or e-mail.
17.3 A notice or other communication shall be deemed to have been received: if delivered personally, when left at our registered office; if sent by pre-paid first class post or other next working day delivery service, at 9.00 am on the second Business Day after posting or if sent by e-mail, one Business Day after transmission.
17.4 In proving the service of any notice, it will be sufficient to prove, in the case of a letter, that such letter was properly addressed, stamped and placed in the post and, in the case of an e-mail, that such e-mail was sent to the specified e-mail address of the addressee.
17.5 The provisions of this clause shall not apply to the service of any proceedings or other documents in any legal action.
- Other important terms
18.1 We may transfer our rights and obligations under a Contract to another organisation, but this will not affect your rights or our obligations under these Terms.
18.2 You may only transfer your rights or your obligations under these Terms to another person if we agree in writing.
18.3 This Contract is between you and us. No other person shall have any rights to enforce any of its terms, whether under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 or otherwise.
18.4 Each of the paragraphs of these Terms operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful or unenforceable, the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect.
18.5 If we fail to insist that you perform any of your obligations under these Terms, or if we do not enforce our rights against you, or if we delay in doing so, that will not mean that we have waived our rights against you and will not mean that you do not have to comply with those obligations. If we do waive a default by you, we will only do so in writing, and that will not mean that we will automatically waive any later default by you.
18.6 A Contract and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with it or its subject matter or formation (including non-contractual disputes or claims) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law ofEngland.
18.7 We both irrevocably agree that the courts ofEngland shall have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with a Contract or its subject matter or formation (including non-contractual disputes or claims).
