Terms and Conditions

These terms and conditions apply to customers (“Customers”) who access the Grey Thread website (“Website”). If you access the Website, and/or place an order for goods, you agree to be bound by these terms and conditions.

How the contract for the goods is formed between you and Grey Thread

After placing your order you will receive an automated acknowledgement. Please note that this does not mean that your order has been accepted. All orders are subject to acceptance by Grey Thread. You will receive an email confirming that Grey Thread has accepted your order when your order has been processed and is ready for delivery.

Once Grey Thread accepts your order, a contract to purchase the goods from Grey Thread takes effect between you and Grey Thread.

The contract to sell goods to you only relates to those goods listed in the confirmation email.

You will not be charged before your order has been processed and is ready for delivery.

The Website contains a large number of goods and it is possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the goods listed on the Website may be incorrectly priced. If we discover an error in the price of the goods you have ordered we will inform you as soon as possible. We will give you the option of reconfirming your order at the correct price or cancelling it.

Fraud Prevention

To help us prevent fraud, orders of £200 GB pounds or more may require a landline telephone number. Card fraud is illegal and perpetrators will be prosecuted.

Delivery

Delivery costs are additional to the displayed price and vary depending on the delivery service you select, the country of delivery and the quantity/weight of goods ordered.

Delivery times depend on the delivery service selected and the types of goods ordered. Grey Thread always aims to dispatch all goods in stock as quickly as possible. 

Grey Thread may use third party couriers. Couriers will require a signature to ensure safe receipt of your goods. If you are not available to collect and sign on the courier’s first visit they may leave it at a neighbouring address, or in a safe place (i.e. hidden from sight and protected from the rain). A calling card will be posted through your door to let you know this has been done. If there is no safe place a calling card will be left with the courier’s contact number to arrange re-delivery. 

The couriers will attempt re-delivery up to a maximum of three (3) times and if delivery is not successful after the third attempt they will return the goods to Grey Thread.
