Making A Purchase

Please note, that we are only supplying the UK and Northern Ireland. If you wish to purchase from any other country, please contact us for a quotation

Making a purchase is easy. Just browse our web site, click on any items that you wish to buy and put them into the shopping cart. After you have finished your selections, please press the 'check out' button to proceed to the payment pages, where you can pay online with credit card or Paypal. We will ask you for the billing address and you will be given the opportunity to state your delivery address if it is different to the billing address. You then continue to a secure page, where we will ask you for your credit card details. These details will only be known to the merchant bank handling the payment.

If yor are purchasing using a Mastercard, you will be forwarded temporarily to your issuing bank's verification page, where you will need to enter your password registered with your card. This is a step taken by Mastercard to curb internet fraud. If you have no password, yet, you will be asked to create a password. After completion you will be routed back to the end of the payment process. We will then issue an order number and email you a confirmation of order. Please note that Visa customers are offered the password-protected process as well, but VISA customers can at this moment in time still decline to register a password for their card .

We accept most major credit and debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, Delta, Amex). You may also send your credit card information by fax.

Choosing the right product and adhering to regulation

As we do not provide telephone support and online product advice on Budget-Fire, please ensure that you choose products suitable for your particular requirements. Please note that under certain circumstances maintenance contracts, for example for your fire extinguishers, might be required to fulfill certain regulations and your insurance stipulations.

Shipping and Delivery Times

We charge a fixed post and packaging rate of £10.00 (ex VAT) per order for shipments to the UK and Northern Ireland. This means that independent of the number of items ordered the charge for the shipment remains the same. Shipments for products worth more than £250 (ex VAT) are shipped free of charge. If you order before 1pm, we will usually ship the same day with a next working day delivery. Please note that larger shipments might have to be delivered with pallet service (3-4 days). We regret that we are unable to ship orders to Northern Ireland on a next working day delivery, deliveries to Northern Ireland will take 2-3 days. If you require a next day delivery to Northern Ireland, please contact our sales team for advice.

Dangerous goods, such as fire extinguishers etc sometimes cannot be delivered by our standard carrier to island locations, such as Northern Ireland. In such instances we will contact you and you will be offered a refund of your order value or a shipment with a specialist carrier at an oncost.

If a product is out of stock, we will contact you as soon as possible. Unfortunately, we cannot offer compensation for deliveries that are delayed.

If you order extinguishers with installation, the installation can take up to maximum of 14 days.

If you add special delivery instructions, please leave a signed piece of paper with the same instructions on the outside of your door, as the driver is otherwise not able to leave parcels eg in a porch etc. If you have left a delivery instruction to, for example, 'leave parcel in porch if not in', we cannot provide you with a proof of delivery, should the parcel go missing. We will, however, provide a proof of shipping, if requested. You are responsible for any losses suffered as a result of a parcel being left in a location at your specific request.

Please check the status of your package immediately before signing the receipt of the goods. If you see damage on the outer packaging, this must be noted on your copy of the delivery note and on the copy of the carrier. Otherwise you might not be able to receive a replacement or refund from us. You can also refuse damaged parcels without signing for these. If you find transport damage AFTER the carrier has left, please inform us instantly. If the claim is made on the same day as the delivery, some of the carriers we use will accept liability. If you claim any later and you had signed for the goods, we might be unable to claim compensation for you from the carrier

If a customer is not in when delivery is attempted, the delivery driver will leave a card with details of the local depot and attempt re-delivery the next day. Please ring the stated telephone number if required to do so on the card. Please note that if the parcel cannot be delivered after several days and has to be returned, we reserve the right to charge you a second delivery charge for re-delivery, should you still wish to receive the product. Alternatively, we might refund you and cancel the order.
