Standard Delivery

Our standard delivery service is 2-3 working days, and includes kerbside delivery at your premises.

Your item will be delivered as close as possible to your premises and our delivery drivers will only unload your goods where it is safe and secure to do so.

Returns
At ECatering, we understand that in a busy kitchen, plans can change or the wrong
equipment might be ordered.

If you need to return an item, you can submit a return request through your ECatering account on the Returns page, and our team will guide you every step of
the way.

Collections
For larger pallet items, we can arrange collection from your premises. The cost will
be deducted from your refund.
For smaller parcel items, you’re welcome to return them using your preferred courier
service.

Condition of Returns
To qualify for a full refund, products should be as-new and in their original packaging,
ready to be safely used in another professional kitchen.

Restocking Fees
All returned equipment is carefully inspected and tested to ensure it meets the high
standards required in commercial kitchens. To cover inspection, testing, and
repackaging, a restocking fee applies:

• 25% for standard returns
• 40% if the item cannot be returned to stock in saleable condition

Non-Returnable Items
Some products cannot be returned, including:

• Used or customised items
• Perishable goods
• Items purchased as part of a promotion (we’ll provide a store credit instead)

We know returns aren’t always ideal, so if you’re unsure about which equipment best
suits your kitchen, our team is always happy to advise before you order.
