The Garden Shed Company Terms & Conditions

The Garden Shed Company would like to welcome you to this website We have worked hard to make it as user friendly and informative as possible. By purchasing products from The Garden Shed Company, the purchaser (“The Customer”) agrees to the following terms and conditions of sale.

The Garden Shed Company Best Price Guarantee

With The Best Price Guarantee there is no need to waste time shopping around, you can be confident you have found the best deal right here. However, if you do find an identical garden shed advertised elsewhere for less, we will beat that price by 5%.

The garden shed must be the identical brand, product, colour and specification. As these sheds are not available to pick up from our office, the competitors price must include any home delivery fees charged by the seller. The price must be verifiable on the Internet, by printed advertisement or written quote at time of sale. Delivery charges (if applicable) will be taken into account when calculating the comparative prices. Best price guarantee does not apply to auctions, liquidations or closing down sales.

Damaged Goods Policy

While we take take great care when sending your purchase, 0ccasionally a product will get damaged. It is important that you check for visible signs of damage at the time the goods are received. If there is damage or you suspect damage, write “damaged” on the delivery docket and ensure the driver is aware of this.

If the goods you receive are faulty or damaged, please advise us immediately and email photos showing the problem. It is the customers responsibility to check for freight damage at the time of delivery to ensure damaged goods are replaced without delay. Delays in advising us of damaged goods may result in non-replacement.

Incorrect Goods

In the very unlikely event that your order is incorrect, we will send the correct items once the incorrect items are returned. Naturally you won’t have to pay for the extra freight.

Prices

All prices are quoted in New Zealand Dollars and are inclusive of 15% GST unless otherwise stated.

Consumer Guarantees Act 1993

Colour

The Garden Shed Company takes every possible care when displaying products for sale, however colours displayed on a screen vary and may not represent the exact colours in reality. The Garden Shed Company is not responsible or liable for any liability or loss incurred through the colours on the website not matching reality. We are happy to supply you with a brochure containing a colour chart.

Delivery

Many products have a free delivery option, while others will cost you just a little bit more for delivery. We regret we cannot deliver to Islands (Waiheke, Stewart etc) only to mainland locations, and RD addresses will generally need to pickup from a freight depot in their nearest town.

Some products can only be delivered to the nearest Mainfreight or PBT depot and will need to be collected from there, where they will forklift it onto your trailer/vehicle.

Products that must be collected from depot are:

  • Galvo and Garden Master sheds that include a kitset floor (if no floor then we can do home delivery)
  • Garden Master sheds that are customised to include extra wall height
  • All timber sheds
  • All SmartStore sheds

Products that can be delivered to urban home addresses:

  • Galvo sheds that do not include a timber floor
  • Garden Master sheds that do not include a timber floor or have extra wall height added

We will advise in all instances if there is to be any extra charge over and above that shown within this website.

We will process your order the next business day after funds clear in our bank account.  You shed will be manufactured (or picked off the shelf) and delivered straight from the factory.  We will send you an email notifying you when your order has left the factory and is in the safe hands of Peter Baker Transport (PBT) or Mainfreight.

Many of our packages are heavy and/or bulky. The delivery truck will have a tail lift to lower the pallet off the truck onto your property. The truck will need solid, flat ground (concrete) to tail lift onto. The site must have easy access for the truck to get in and out of.  We have no control over what trucks and equipment are used to deliver the order.

If you have opted for home delivery and the freight company determines that it is not possible for their truck to access the property and unload, we will refund the delivery fee you have paid, but we are not responsible for non-delivery or for arranging alternate means of delivery.

Cancellation

Once an order has been placed and paid for there is no cancellation of the order.

Returns

In the event that goods are returned to us that are not faulty or incorrect, the customer shall be liable for all  the actual freight charges and a restocking charge will apply. Returns are accepted at our discretion.
