The consignment may consist of one or two boxes or more and be subject to a ‘one-person-lift’ limit under the health & safety manual handling procedures on your site. Please ensure someone is available to receive the goods and sign for them.

A larger delivery vehicle may be used and the pallets may require off-loading facilities including a pallet truck or fork lift.

The Redbows Price Guarantee

Redbows Price Buster Promise

We will not be beaten on price for a like-for-like product. Everyday our team checks the cost of products to ensure that we are competitive and offering the best value-for-money deal.

We also provide our Price Bust promise…if you can find a lower price for an equivalent product within the UK industry then we will aim to bust it! All you have to do, is give us the opportunity and let our customer service team do the rest.

Redbows Price Match Guarantee

Now, we have to be careful here and so here are a few caveats:

1. We will ‘bust’ a competitor price by a minimum of 5.0% from their total cost price, (excluding VAT). There is no maximum set and this is at the discretion of our Account Managers.

2. When we compare prices we will exclude VAT but include all associated costs including product, artwork, design, print, delivery and any other related costs.
