Terms and Conditions

Prices Goods are invoiced in pounds (£) sterling at the price prevailing at the time you place your order. Prices are expressed exclusive of Value Added Tax ("VAT") which will be charged at the current rate as shown on the on-line order form and are exclusive of delivery charges.

Delivery charges will be added to the price of the goods purchased so that the on-line order form shows the total charges which we will debit. The prices indicated apply only to on-line purchases and are not indicative of the price of identical goods purchased by any other means. We reserve the right to amend any prices without any prior notice and to end any promotion at any time. We reserve the right to add or withdraw any item at any time.

Sparks Gift Wholesalers LLP and Amalfi Imports Ltd. try to ensure that all prices displayed are correct and within the company's pricing structure.

Orders

Sparks Gift Wholesalers LLP or Amalfi Imports Ltd. will send you an email to acknowledge receipt of your order ("Advice Note"). Receipt of your credit or debit card details and debit of payments does not constitute our acceptance of your order.

Our acceptance of your order takes place upon dispatch of the goods to you at which point the purchase contract is made. We reserve the right to decline your order for any reason whatsoever and to refuse bulk orders. If we do so we will contact you and will refund in full such payments which have been made in relation to the cancelled/declined order.

Where a choice of design is available we reserve the right to supply alternative product due to stock availability. We will however always endeavour to contact and advise in this circumstance.

Please note that we do not consider any dent/crush or imperfection to any packaging or display box as legitimate cause for a credit to be issued. In the event of damaged outer packaging and display boxes, Sparks Gift Wholesalers LLP / Amalfi Imports Ltd. reserves the right to issue a credit or refund for up to a maximum of 10% of the product value.

When we pick and process orders we endeavour to ensure that the best box/packaging available is picked and sent out.

We always pack orders using plenty of shredded packing material to alleviate damages in transit but ultimatelty cannot be held responsible for damage to product boxes/packaging.

Credit Card Payments

Sparks Gift Wholesalers LLP and Amalfi Imports Ltd. reserves the right to refuse or cancel any such orders whether or not the order has been confirmed and your credit card charged.

Description of products

We endeavour to describe our products clearly and correctly and use stock photos to show that product. Sometimes the photo will not show all colour/size/shape and assorted designs for all the product options. I.e. A product might be available in four colours but the stock photo shows only one item in one colour. If this item is ordered then we reserve the right to supply that item in any of the colours available as stock availability allows.

Sometimes an error may be made in the desciption of a product. This is unfortunate and we try very hard to keep such errors to a minimum. Should this happen Sparks Gift Wholesalers LLP will refund in full for that item only on it's return to us in an unused and re-sellable condition and in it's original umdamaged packaging.

Out of Stock Products

We try to ensure that our online stock database is kept up to date at all times.

Therefore, some products remain on the website 'showing' available to purchase when out od stock for various reasons. If and when this happens we endeavour to contact you in the first instance to see if you may want an alternative.

If, say the missing items are only a small part of the order then we may process it immediately as generally, our customers want the order quickly and normally don't mind not receiving a few lines to take delivery promptly. .

If there are several lines out of stock or the missing items make up a substantial part of an order then we always send an email and/or telephone message to let you know and offer alternatives. We will hold an order over until we have made contact but if no contact can be made (within 24 hours) then we may ship the order at our discretion.

If the total of out of stock products is less than 30% of the order value (exc vat & carriage) then we will dispatch at our discretion without contacting the customer as this expedites most orders satisfactorily.

Whatever happens, if an item is out of stock and not sent then you will not be charged for that item. Either the payment is deducted from your original invoice total when we capture the payment or a full refund for that item will be made back to your card - this is normally done by us at close of business on the day that the order is dispatched.

However it may take an extra day or so for the bank to actually process this and for you to see it back in your account. Please also see our refunds article and order totals and payments in our Knowledge base for more detais.

Returns / Re-stocking / Cancelled Orders

We endeavour to process and dispatch all orders within 48 hours of receiving them (allow longer times at busy periods) and once an order leaves us it is always on a next working day delivery service with the courier (UK Mainland delivery addresses). (Although it is next day we stipulate that 72 hours is allowed in case of third party difficulties)

If the customer is not able to receive and sign for the delivery then the couriers will attempt a re-delivery the following business day or instructions to collect from a local depot. Should an order be returned to us by the couriers due to the customer not accepting the delivery or being absent when the delivery attempts have taken place and the order is subsequently returned to us then we reserve the right to charge the courier return fee and an additional re-stocking charge of 10% of the net order value or £25 (whichever is the greater).

Should an order be picked and packed ready for dispatch and then cancelled by the customer we reserve the right to charge
10% of the net order value or £25 (whichever is the greater). These terms and conditions are applicable to you upon your accessing the site and/or completing the registration or shopping process. The same return and restocking fees shall apply to items deemed to be non-faulty.

Should any item returned to us as purported to be in a faulty condition be deemed to be in a good and saleable condition during any subsequent quality control checks, then this will also be subject to a restocking fee of 10% of the net product(s) value or £25 (whichever is the greater). Please note that no returns are accepted on goods unless faulty and unless Sparks Gift Wholesalers LLP has been notified in writing of these faults within 72 hours of delivery of order.

We reserve the right to collect any products that are damaged or faulty or are included as part of a claim. Collection may be authourised via one of our courier partners, and a refund may not be issued until the product has arrived back to our warehouse and has been checked in. Please be aware that a refund can take up to 7-10days to process.

BREXIT T&Cs

Important Changes

When ordering from us after 1st January 2021, a lot of things will remain the same, however, there are some important changes to be aware of:

  • Whether you are VAT registered nor not VAT registered, you will not need to pay VAT directly to us for your order.
  • You will instead need to pay VAT to our customs 'agent' DPD/GLS/Chronopost when your order arrives in the destination country. Please see below for a full explanation.
  • You MUST register for an EORI number in your home country if you do not already have one. We will require this before we can dispatch any orders to you. If you do not have an EORI number, we would strongly advise you to contact your country's relevant VAT/customs authourity to apply for one. It usually only takes a few days to receive your EORI number, but please apply for one now if you do not already have one.
  • Delivery times are likely to increase. We anticipate that new customs procedures will lead to some delays and we ask that you please allow a longer period of time for your order to reach you. Please bear with us and please try to order further ahead of time for key dates/events. Once your order has been dispatched it cannot be cancelled.
Paying VAT

As we understand it, we will no longer be taking VAT payments for your orders. Instead, this will be payable upon arrival to your local customs authourity or to our customs 'agent' DPD/GLS/Chronopost.

Our customs agent will contact you via email to request that the required amount of VAT. Your order will not be delivered to you until this has been paid.

It is important that you pay this as quickly as possible.

It is also imperative that you provide us with your correct email address to avoid any issues with communication.

We must stress that any unclaimed orders, or any orders where the required VAT is not paid within the allotted time, may be returned to us here in the UK.

If an order is refused, unclaimed or unpaid and is returned to us, unfortunately we will incur significant return charges by the courier and will only be able to refund you for the cost of the items themselves, less any further charges incurred. As a minimum, we reserve the right to withhold the original shipping charge paid, and also to deduct a return fee equivalent to 50% of the original shipping cost paid. However we reserve the right to levy any further administrative, punitive, or transport/return related charges against the value of any refund due.

Please be aware that you are solely responsible for ensuring that the EORI number you submit to us is correct and valid. For any orders returned to the UK due to an invalid EORI number the above return charges may also apply.


Damaged/Faulty Products

All claims for damaged or faulty goods must be made in writing (email) within 72 hours of receipt of products. Please be aware that any claim submitted more than 3 days (72 hours) after you have taken delivery of your order cannot be considered.

Please note that we do not consider any dent/crush or imperfection to any packaging or display box as legitimate cause for a credit to be issued. In the event of damaged outer packaging and display boxes, Sparks Gift Wholesalers LLP and/or Amalfi Imports Ltd. reserves the right to issue a credit or refund for up to a maximum of 10% of the product value.

Please note that all credit notes that are not used within 12 calendar months from the date of issue are no longer valid. Any expired credit notes will be wiped from the customer account and are no longer useable, redeemable or refundable.
