FAQs

I cannot find the item I require

As you will see from our webshop, we can offer, and indeed stock, a considerable range of products from a large number of manufacturers. Therefore, it is impossible to show the full range of items we have access too. We can usually source these other items at fairly short notice. Please contact the sales office on 01722 717708 or send an email to sales@mjabbott.co.uk and we will do our utmost to meet your requirements.

Is this the best price you can offer?

We show both a list price, and if applicable, a competitive discounted nett selling price on our webshop. For high value orders, we may be able to improve our Nett selling price so it may be worth phoning or emailing the sales office and asking for a quotation. All prices are shown excluding VAT and carriage, which will be added at the checkout.
If you are an existing trade account customer, by logging in to the webshop using your username and password, any specific discounted terms agreed with our sales office, will automatically be applied to your order, and will be shown as the nett price 

I can find what appears to be the same item cheaper elsewhere on the web

As we have a highly regarded contracting division, we have carefully chosen the items we stock and sell over a long period of time, and only use high quality products that we know we can rely on in the long term. If you require a budget priced alternative, contact us and we will endeavour to meet your needs.

Order queries

Should you require assistance whilst compiling an order, do not hesitate to contact a member of our direct sales team on 01722 717708.

When will I receive my order?

The majority of our orders are processed and dispatched within one working day. However, we cannot stock everything, and so if an item is out of stock we will notify you and put it on back order, or suggest an alternative item. A number of our products, particularly pumps, tanks and similar bulky or high value items, will usually be delivered direct from the manufacturer, and this may take longer than next day.
Where indicated, it may be possible to order some products on a faster delivery from the manufacturer, and you should contact the sales office if this is an option you require as this cannot be accomodated in the webshop delivery system.
All orders can be delivered to a site address if required, however all orders will require a signature upon delivery. Our standard courier is Tuffnells but this can vary depending on size of goods or if sent direct from our supplier.

I have a problem with an order delivered by carrier

When orders are delivered by carrier the driver will require a signature. If packages are damaged or missing please ensure that you report this on the carrier's paperwork and notify our direct sales team on 01722 717708 as soon as possible and within seven working days.

Where can you deliver to?

The majority of our deliveries are within mainland UK. Some areas such as the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, The Isle of Wight, the Scottish Highlands and Northern Ireland may result in additional cost. Please place your order as normal and we will contact you before processing the order with delivery options and costs. We can ship to mainland Europe and can advise according to the size of your order.

How do you deliver large and heavy items such as tanks?

If your product selection includes a very large or heavy item such as a tank, pipe or duct, the carriage charge may automatically be excluded from the order and we will contact you before processing your order with delivery options. We have our own transport and undertake regular drops for large items through the south of England. For certain items, delivery may be made by the manufacturer.

How are carriage costs calculated?

The website will calculate the carriage cost for you when compiling your order, these charges are based on the weights below. If your location is not within mainland UK (see 'Where can you deliver to?' above), additional delivery charges may apply. If no delivery charge is shown it is because an element of your order requires a special delivery. In both cases we will contact you to discuss this.
