Delivery from Arden Care Supplies
We aim to deliver the majority of products available on our website within 5-7 days of a purchase order being placed using a recognised national courier service (delivered Monday to Friday). In order to allow us to offer an extensive range, we have agreements in place with our suppliers to deliver products directly to you from them. This may mean that when ordering multiple products, these products may be delivered separately by different carriers. Please note that in this instance, only one delivery charge (if applicable) will be made for an order, even if it is for multiple items.
Bed Delivery
Some larger items, such as electrically adjustable beds have standard delivery free of charge as part of our service. If you require a more comprehensive service including for example, full installation of a nursing care bed with a product use demonstration, please see the options for this in the product details on our website. Our installation team will contact you directly to book a mutually convenient installation date.
Medical Couch Delivery
As many medical couches are manufactured to order, delivery of these products may take 3 to 4 weeks from receipt of purchase order. However, we may be able to offer a faster delivery on certain items so please do contact us on Tel: 01274 947003 for current lead times.

We will arrange for the goods to be repaired in your home where possible/appropriate. Alternatively, we will arrange to have them returned to the manufacturer and a replacement will be sent to you as soon as possible. If items need to be returned, please keep the original packaging.

Returns and Refunds Policy
We would like you to be completely satisfied with your purchase from Arden Care Supplies Ltd and we pride ourselves on complying fully with the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2014 in providing our customers with an efficient and trustworthy online purchasing service.
However, if the item is not suitable, you can return the product providing that you have contacted us either by email or telephone within 14 days of receiving your order in full (For beds you must contact us within 7 days). The only exceptions to this policy where items cannot be returned are Mattresses, Bedding, Side Rail Pads, Medical Fleece, Cushions and Commodes and any products from the Respiratory range for reasons of hygiene/infection control. Other exceptions include products made to order/personalised such as couches and seating, unless the product is faulty.
The only liability to you would be the cost of us recovering the goods from your property which may vary depending on the logistical cost. This charge would therefore be deducted from your refund. All returns must be “as new” and in re saleable condition. We reserve the right to charge a further re stocking fee of up to 25% of the total order value on all returns of healthcare equipment used or unused where the equipment must be returned to the manufacturer to undergo decontamination processes and inspection prior to being returned to stock.
If an item is faulty, we will either exchange the product or offer a refund to you in full. Please notify us as soon as possible either by email at orders@ardencaresupplies.com or by calling us on 01274 947003 and our customer services department will guide you through the returns process.
