Under normal circumstances all goods on your order will be despatched in full within 48 hours. If an item is out of stock we will advise you by email or phone and endeavour to supply the item as soon as possible. Alternatively, we may supply a near equivalent item or ask you to re-order. If you have any queries on the above do not hesitate to contact Customer Service.
All risk in the products you order (including risk of loss and/or damage to the products) shall pass to you when they are delivered to the delivery address specified in your order.
Notice of damage, defect, non-delivery, or incorrect delivery
You should check all products you receive against your order. If the products you receive are damaged or incorrectly supplied on delivery then you must inform us (by contacting Customer Service by phone or email) within 7 days of your delivery, or within 30 days if the goods are faulty – quoting your customer order number and the delivery note number.
We reserve the right to inspect any product reported as faulty before refund or replacement.
Your right to cancel
Under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013) (“CCR”) you have a right to cancel all or part of your contract at any time up to 14 days after the day on which you receive the goods, without giving any reason. With us, you have 30 calendar days to return your order.
Your right to cancellation does not apply to goods made to your specification which you will be directed to order by phone through Customer Service.
We cannot accept the return of certain items for hygiene reasons, if they have been used or the seal has been broken. This applies particularly (but not exclusively) to toileting and bathing equipment, incontinence items, mattresses and adjustable divan beds.
In the event of a cancellation you will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You can choose to return the goods yourself (after advising cancellation) or arrange for Bio-Lec Mobility to collect the goods (when advising cancellation).
If you choose to return any items to us, you must do so within 30 calendar days of receiving the item. We will not be responsible for any loss or damage to them in transit and, for this reason, we recommend that you use a recorded delivery service (i.e. tracked and insured). If products returned directly by you are lost or damaged in transit, we reserve the right not to refund any amounts attributable to such loss or damage. If you are returning items we must be notified before return. The address of our distribution centre will be provided upon a returns request.
On receipt of returned goods, Bio-Lec Mobility will reimburse you within 14 days. Any paid delivery charge will be included in your refund. Please note the delivery charge refund will be to the value of Standard Delivery Cost (any additional delivery costs paid for e.g. urgent delivery will not be refunded). You must take reasonable care of the goods while in your possession and we reserve the right to reduce the value of the refund if returned goods show evidence of use beyond the handling necessary to see whether the goods are as expected.
Any refunds given by us will be made to the debit card account or PayPal Account (as applicable) provided when you placed your order. We may need to contact you for your credit card details in order to make the refund.
Where we deliver products to a third party in accordance with your order, you will only be able to exercise this cancellation right if you can arrange for us to collect the goods (or return the goods to us).
This is not intended to be a full statement of all your rights under the CCR. Full details of your rights under the CCR are available in the UK from your local Citizens’ Advice Bureau or your Local Authority’s Trading Standards Office.

WEEE: Recycling electricals and batteries
What is WEEE?
The Waste Electrical or Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive requires countries to maximise separate collection and environmentally friendly processing of these items. In the UK, distributors (including retailers) must provide a system which allows all customers buying new electrical equipment the opportunity to recycle their old items free of charge. Those establishing their own take-back scheme must as a minimum offer all customers buying new electrical equipment free take back of their old electricals on a like-for-like basis.
Find more information on WEEE recycling, and locate your local recycling centre, at www.recyclenow.com.
Why recycle?
Unwanted electrical equipment is the UK’s fastest growing type of waste.
Many electrical items can be repaired or recycled, saving natural resources and the environment. If you do not recycle, electrical equipment will end up in landfill where hazardous substances will leak out and cause soil and water contamination – harming wildlife and also human health.
To remind you that old electrical equipment can be recycled, it is now marked with a crossed-out wheeled bin symbol. Please do not throw any electrical equipment (including those marked with the crossed out wheeled bin symbol) in your bin.
Battery recycling
Batteries should never be disposed of in general waste or recycling bins.
Please visit https://www.recyclenow.com/local-recycling to find a battery collection point near you that will accept your used batteries free of charge.
Your local authority should also be able to give you information on a recycling facility in your area that will take your used batteries.
