2.3 In the unlikely event that the goods are no longer available, or that we have made a pricing mistake, we will advise you of this. You will not receive an e-mail confirming acceptance of your order, and there will be no contract between us.
2.4 Images of products on this website are for illustrative purposes only. Your goods may vary slightly from the image shown on the website and may not include any of the pictured accessories, unless stated in the specification of the goods. Whilst goods may be shown assembled, they may require assembly by you.

2.6 Whilst we try to be as accurate as possible, all information provided is approximate and is provided in good faith.

2.8 This contract is covered by English law.
2.9 By placing an order with us, you agree to and accept these terms, as well as our privacy policy and the terms of website use.

Delivery & Carriage Charges ( In line with current Covid climate )

4.1 All delivery options will be calculated at the checkout stage.
4.2 Acupanel delivery is free of charge to UK mainland addresses. Note that the Contemporary Oak and Contemporary Walnut 360cm x 60cm panels are excluded from this, as they are large goods with a £19.99 delivery charge. Express delivery and two-man services are also available, at an additional cost.
4.3 Your order may arrive in more than one delivery.
4.4 We will deliver the goods to the premises you specify on your order. You must be at home to accept delivery of your order, which is normally between 8:00am and 6:00pm Monday-Friday. Note that some of our couriers will deliver later, but they will liaise with you first to confirm delivery outside of these parameters.
4.5 Most of our products are relatively lightweight items.
4.6 Disposal of packing materials is your responsibility.
4.7 After two failed delivery attempts (or if you are not at home for an agreed delivery) the goods may be returned to our warehouse and we reserve the right to charge you an additional re-delivery charge.
4.8 If you change the delivery address once the goods have been dispatched to you, we reserve the right to pass on any extra charges made by our carriers for redirecting your delivery.
4.9 Please check the goods upon delivery - any goods found to be missing or damaged should be notified to ourselves within 5 working days.
4.10 If the goods are lost or damaged in transit, please let us know within 5 working days.
4.11 Deliveries are made to the ground floor only and on the condition that there is reasonable access for the safe and prompt delivery of the goods. You should tell us about any special delivery requirements or conditions when you place your order.
4.12 Sometimes, for reasons beyond our control we may be prevented from delivering your goods as planned. These might include things such as accidents, breakdowns, fire, floods, storms, severe weather, acts of God, war, riots, civil commotion, malicious damage, or the default of our suppliers. We will try to put things right as soon as possible however we can’t be responsible where this causes a delay or failure in delivering your goods.

4.13 Our mirror collection is delivered by a third-party carrier, who will contact you directly regarding your delivery. They adhere to the aforementioned delivery terms, and reserve the right to charge £25 for any redelivery attempts due to failure to provide an accurate address and contact details, consisting of an email address and phone number. They reserve the right also to charge £25 if the order is cancelled after attempting delivery.

4.14 Our two-man delivery service with Rhenus is offered at an additional charge, depending on how many boxes your order requires. This is a limited next-day service, dependent on your postcode, between 8am and 6pm. Tracking with an approximate arrival time will be sent to you for this service. They will deliver to a dedicated room if you require. As this is a dedicated service, all damages must be reported to us within 24 hours of the delivery, with images. After this, our standard returns policy will apply.

Cancellation, Returns & Refunds

5.1 All orders are carefully checked prior to dispatch. However, unfortunately, items can sometimes get lost or damaged in transit due to factors beyond our control. If an item arrives damaged in any way please contact us within 5 working days of receipt. If your delivery has been made with Rhenus, please notify us within 24 hours of delivery. Refunds are given at the discretion of The Wood Veneer Hub management team. You can contact us via email, phone or mail using the details on the Contact Us Page.

5.2 If you are unhappy or no longer require a part of your purchase, we offer a full refund within 30 days of receipt. Your items must be returned to us in a re-sellable condition, in the original packaging with a copy of the invoice and Return Merchants Authorisation reference (RMA). Please write on your invoice the reason for the return:

  • Returned for refund
  • Returned faulty

Please note that we cannot accept returns if the product has been cut in any way, if any type of finish has been applied or if the product has been previously installed.

Please note failure to include your invoice and include your RMA will slow down the processing of your return. We do not cover the cost of return shipping if you have decided you do not like the product or there are slight colour differences to our website due to wood being a natural product.

5.3 If free delivery has been offered and the order is rejected or sent back due to no longer wanting the product or ordering the incorrect item, then a refund will be made on the product minus the delivery cost. 

5.4 Please note that our end-of-line, sale products and made-to-order products are non-returnable. If faulty, or they arrive damaged, please contact us in the first instance to discuss your options further.

WVH Mirror Returns

5.6 Images of the damage must be sent to sales@thewoodveneerhub.co.uk to begin the replacement process.

5.7 The original packaging is required to make the return, regardless of any damage. If the original packaging is unavailable for collection, £25 will be deducted from your refund to cover the cost of repackaging in all instances.

5.8 Once the return request has been reported to us, our carrier Fragilistics will be in touch to confirm the collection date. At this point, we will have also confirmed the collection cost with you if you are returning the mirror as it is no longer wanted/needed, which will be deducted from your refund - this will typically be £25, including VAT for each item.

5.9 The collection will only take place from the original delivery address.

5.10 Once collected, a refund will be processed within 7 days of the item arriving back with us. 

5.11 All exchanges and replacements will take place at the time of collecting the unwanted/damaged goods.

Faulty Goods & Guarantee

6.1 If there is a problem with the goods, please notify us by email or in writing providing details of the problem. It’s helpful if you can provide us with a digital photograph of the problem as this normally saves you from having to return the goods for inspection. We will deal with the matter in accordance with your legal rights.
6.2 All goods are covered by a manufacturer’s warranty against faulty workmanship and materials, subject to the terms and conditions of that warranty.
6.3 The manufacturer’s warranty is provided in addition to the rights that the law says you have as a consumer and accordingly, your statutory rights are not affected.
6.4 If an exchange is necessary, this will be arranged without unreasonable delay and without charge. Replacement goods will not be dispatched until the original goods have been received at our warehouse and checked. The cost of returning goods to us is your responsibility; however on inspection we will refund your reasonable postage costs, providing that the goods are found to be faulty. If the goods are not faulty, we will return them to you, however you will be required to cover our reasonable postage costs.
6.5 All veneering surfaces and substrates should be cleaned before commencing any veneering.
6.6 Items situated below a sink, covering a dishwasher, washing machine or other similar appliance should be protected against excessive water contact.
6.7 Items located near any source of heat or steam should be protected either by heat deflectors or other suitable protection.
6.8 Other items such as tools are guaranteed for 1 year from the date of delivery. Within this time scale, we will replace defective goods free of charge.
6.9 If an item is no longer available, we will offer an alternative. However, our liability will be to replace the faulty goods only and we are unable to guarantee an exact match. In this instance, you will have the option of a refund.
6.10 Where we replace faulty goods you are responsible for their disposal if they have not previously been returned to us.
6.11 We are unable to guarantee an exact colour match due to the nature of the product.

6.12 We have a 3mm tolerance on all our cut-to-size products, which includes the 120cm and 200cm Acupanel options. Discounts and replacements on our cut-to-size products are offered at the discretion of our customer care team, and may not be offered if within this tolerance.
