5. How will I know if the item I need is in stock?

For more information about out of stock items, have a look at the Zero Stock List (on the Customer Page) to see when we expect the next delivery.

These are shown in our price list and on the Customer Page. They are also available every time you place an online order.

Unfortunately we do not have a showroom here at Martley and we are not able to welcome customers to our premises.

8. Do you drop ship goods for your customers?

We are happy to drop ship items to your customers on your behalf. Goods will be sent out without paperwork and the invoice will be sent to you. More information about drop shipping is included in our terms and conditions of trade.

9. Do you deal with online only customers?

Yes we do and our online only customers are very important to us! However there are a few of our suppliers who will not allow their products to be sold on Amazon or Ebay. These are clearly marked in the price list and online and we would ask you to abide by their rules.

10. What happens if something goes wrong?

When your goods are delivered we ask you to check carefully that the parcels are in good condition and that the correct number of parcels is shown on the courier's docket/machine. Please only sign for goods that are received and make a note of any damages on the courier's docket/machine. Failure to note transit damage on the carrier's docket/machine prevents us making a claim and also prevents us accepting your claim. A delivery note is sent with each consignment and we would ask you to check off the contents of the parcels as soon as possible after delivery. Claims for shortages or breakages must be made within three working days by email to sales@babybase.co.uk.
