Delivery & Returns

The Timing Chest maintains full ownership of the products until full payment has been obtained.

It is possible to cancel your order if it hasn’t been sent. Contact us and we will help you. If your order has been sent, you will have to return the products in order to receive a refund. The freight will not be refunded. It is not possible to change your order once it has been submitted. This also includes changing the size or color of a product, removing an item, changing the delivery address or payment method. All packages are sent via one of various reliable couriers. Your order will be sent within 3 working days after it has been placed.

The normal delivery time from the package has left our warehouse is:

  • 2 working days to the United Kingdom
  • 4 working days to Europe
  • 7 working days to the remaining destinations

If nobody is at the address when the courier makes the delivery, a note is left in the mailbox and the courier leaves with the package. Another attempt to deliver will be made the next day. If delivery is not possible, the package will be returned to us. When you find the courier’s note in your mailbox, contact them to arrange another delivery address, time or tell them the package can be left in your back yard etc.

You can have your package delivered to your work address if this is more convenient for you. This should just be included as Delivery Address. Please note that it is not possible to make a delivery to a PO box.

The freight charge depends on your delivery address, size and weight of the package.

How much is the freight charge?

We ship all over the world, and the freight charge depends on your delivery address and your purchase amount.

Please contact me for a freight cost before you place your order. I can hold the item(s) while we work out the best price to get the items to you.

Returns policy

If there is something wrong with the product you have received or if your delivery is not identical to your order (wrong product or if a product is missing), please contact me. If you send us an email, please include as many details as possible including your order number as well as a picture if there is something wrong with one of the products.

Because almost every item that I am selling is old and used, please don’t expect a refund because it is not like new. Expect marks etc. I do my best to describe the item include the bad parts. Occasionally, something will get missed. In this case, please contact me and we will organise a mutually agreeable solution.

When we receive the product, we will refund the value of the purchased the product, but not the original freight.
All products must be returned in their original packaging with all enclosed documentation and the packaging cannot be broken or in any other way damaged – neither can the product. Otherwise it will not be possible to obtain a refund.

You must pay for the freight to return the goods and this must also be arranged by yourself. The goods are your responsibility until they reach The Timing Chest. Please ensure you pack the return safely to prevent any damage to the products or boxes.
