Shipping policy

All PPE Direct deliveries are handled by APC and the consignment number for your shipment is stated on your emailed delivery note. All our deliveries require signature at delivery. It is the responsibility of the Customer to ensure that someone is available at the delivery address to sign for the parcel. When there is no one at the address the courier will leave a card to show that they have been and how to re-arrange a new delivery or collection. The carrier will attempt to deliver items a maximum of twice. PPE Direct will not be responsible for extra delivery charges that arise as a result of failed deliveries. Charges for extra delivery attempts or changes of delivery address will be payable by the customer. There is a £12 charge to the customer for consignments that are returned to PPE Direct due to a failed delivery.
