SchoolSoundfield - a Connevans Limited website
At Connevans.co.uk, we have a variety of UK delivery services from Royal Mail First Class to next working day before 10am, please select the service which is most suitable for you.
The delivery options & charges for your order will be shown in the basket when you have entered your delivery address.
Orders for items we have in stock, received before 13.15 hours on a working day, will be dispatched the same day.
Orders received after 13.15 hours will be despatched the following working day.
Please note that our working days are UK office hours Monday to Friday, excluding bank holidays.
With Royal Mail First Class, many items are delivered the following day by your postman but it does often take longer so please allow up to 10 days for delivery.
Parcelforce trackable is normally a next working day delivery service in the majority of the UK, in the Scottish Highlands & Isles and other remote areas the delivery timescale is up to 3 working days. Parcelforce trackable is not a guaranteed timescale service and no refund will be made if delivery is delayed - with Parcelforce before 10 and before noon however, in the event that delivery is delayed you will be refunded the additional charge for the service if you inform us of the delay.
If the delivery timescale is important to you please consider upgrading your delivery service - we suggest that you consider using our new UPS Access Point service - click here to find out more.
NB: In the unlikely event that you have to return your product for full refund, we refund the standard postage rate and not any of the charges for enhanced delivery which you may have selected.
Please contact Customer Services for S&OP costs for non web orders.
UPS Access Point tm is an alternative delivery option to fit your busy schedule. The even better news is that the UPS Access Point service costs less than our regular parcel charge.
UPS have signed up a network of retail outlets, such as 'open all hours' newsagents, grocery stores and garages many of which operate extended opening hours including evenings and weekends.
At the time of ordering you can choose a convenient UPS Access Point - either close to home, work or perhaps on your route home.
You can track the status of your order and track UPS delivery progress from our website. Delivery to your chosen UPS Access Point is usually made the next working day after despatch in the UK.
When your parcel has arrived at your chosen UPS Access Point you will be emailed & texted by UPS with a message to say that your parcel is ready for collection - it is obviously really important that you have given us a valid email address and mobile phone number!

'Why do you have a minimum Shipping & Order Processing Charge?' Connevans is primarily a wholesale trade organisation supplying education and health authorities. Unlike many trade suppliers we do not produce an inflated retail price list for private individuals and we do not have a minimum order value. Our shipping and order processing charge simply reflects the cost of processing low value mail orders - please judge us on the overall cost.
In the United Kingdom the Consumer Rights Directive (CRD) gives a customer the right to cancel up to 14 calendar days from the date of delivery. To exercise the right to cancel, you must inform us of your decision to cancel your order by a clear statement in a 'durable medium' (eg email, letter or fax) within the 14 calendar day period, in this case the original standard delivery cost will be refunded but not the cost of return.
If you wish to exercise your right of cancellation you are obliged to take reasonable care of the products while in your possession.
You must return the goods to us, at Connevans Limited, Bridge House, 1 Nutfield Road, Merstham, Surrey RH1 3EB, UK, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your order cancellation to us. As mentioned previously you will have to bear the cost of returning the goods. When you return any products to us, we will not be responsible for any loss or damage to them in transit.
We may make a deduction from the refund for loss in value of any goods supplied if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling from you other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
We will make the refund without undue delay, and not later than 14 days from when we receive the returned goods. We will make the refund using the same means of payment as you used for the initial payment.
To give you further peace of mind, orders from Connevans Limited are placed with the extended assurance that if you find an item unsuitable and return it to us outside the CRD 14 day statutory period but within 30 days of invoice, we will be pleased to refund the cost of the product - providing it is returned to us in resaleable condition with proof of purchase and a completed returns form. Certain items are excluded for hygiene reasons as noted on the product page.
Our definition of resaleable condition includes being returned with the original packaging and in a tidy and clean condition. The original delivery charge will not be refunded - the cost of returning a product is the responsibility of the customer unless it was received faulty or damaged.
We do not offer a loan or trial service and our offer of refund does not apply if you have used the product other than to assess whether it is satisfactory. We reserve the right to make a repackaging charge or refuse a refund if the product is not returned to us in a tidy and clean condition.
Items not covered by our extended 30 day return policy: items ordered by special request, products excluded for hygiene or other reasons as noted on the product page and goods ordered against our advice.
