Delivery Information

United Kingdom Delivery Charges 

Goods for delivery within the UK are despatched at a fixed charge of £7.99 (exc VAT) per order for orders under £200 ex.VAT. Orders over £200 ex.VAT are shipping within the UK free of charge. For some remote postcodes including Northern Ireland, Scottish Highlands and Islands and the Channel Islands our delivery charge is £35.00+VAT to reflect the higher charges made by our courier. In addition we will not make partial deliveries to these postcodes.


For exceptionally bulky or heavy items we reserve the right to make an additional charge but we will contact you by e-mail before despatch if this is the case.

Rest of World Delivery Charges

We are unable to accept orders online for delivery outside the UK due to the specialised nature of exporting laboratory products.  However our dedicated export team will be happy to arrange a quotation for carriage anywhere in the world. In general export orders incur a minimum order surcharge of £20 for orders below £50. If payment is received by credit card there is a 2.5% charge on the total or £12.00 minimum surcharge. If payment is made by bank transfer, you are required to ensure that we receive the full amount (with no bank charges deducted from the payment we expect). If this is not possible a bank handling charge of £15 will be applied.

Returns Policy

We hope you will be pleased with your purchases. However, if for any reason this is not the case, we will allow you to return the goods. Simply ask our customer support team for a returned goods authorisation number on freephone 0808 200 5227. This must be done within 14 days of receipt of goods. We will either exchange the item or refund you, subject to us receiving the goods back within 14 days of delivery, unused and in a new condition.

Subject to testing to verify any alleged fault, we will accept the return of defective products for full refund or replacement, if, but only if, the goods are returned within 14 days of purchase. On receipt of the returned product, we will test it to identify the fault you have notified to us. If following the testing process, the product is found to be in good working order without defect, we will return the product to you. The carriage cost of this return will be your responsibility.

thelabwarehouse.com will only accept unwanted products for refund within 14 days of delivery, provided that the goods are in the original packaging and a re-saleable condition. Unwanted goods will be subject to a minimum handling fee of £20 or 15% of goods value which ever is the greater.
