Before contacting our customer services team you may find the answer to your query below. If none of these questions are relevant to your query, please click here to contact us directly.

How do I place an order?

Once you have chosen your selected item(s) and added them to your shopping basket, you can begin the checkout process by clicking on the ‘Shopping Basket’ link at the top right of the screen. You will then be taken to the shopping basket page, in which you can review and edit your purchase details prior to entering checkout.  

You can proceed to checkout by clicking on ‘Checkout Now’. If you are a new customer, you will then be asked to enter your name and a valid email address. If you have previously registered for an online account with us, you can enter your login details at this stage to proceed straight to the payment details page.  

When you are ready to complete your order, click the ’Make Payment’ button and wait for your onscreen confirmation. If your payment has been made using a Visa or MasterCard, your card issuer may also request that you complete a 3D Secure form for additional security. Please note that your card issuer will not authorise payment until these details have been entered. Any details entered at this stage will be between yourself and your card issuer and this information will not be seen or captured by TJ Hughes. 

You will be sent a confirmation email shortly after your order has been placed successfully. 

If you receive an order failure message on screen, this is most likely to be due to the payment details not matching what your card issuer has on record for the card used. All first orders placed on our website can only be sent to the card holders registered billing address, so please ensure that these details are entered correctly before placing your first order attempt. 

Please be aware that your card issuer may reserve the funds for any failed transactions in a holding account for up to 10 days. Multiple failed attempts may therefore result in multiple reserved amounts. 

If you would like help placing an order or have any other questions, please contact our customer service team on 0845 605 0515. Lines are open 9am to 5pm Monday to Friday.

How do I track my order?

For most standard delivery items, an email will be sent at point of despatch which will contain tracking information for your consignment. If you do not receive this email, this will most likely mean that your items are being sent direct from the supplier. A delivery attempt will be made within the lead times advised on the product description. If you are unavailable to receive your delivery, a further delivery attempt will be made on the next available working day. A card will also be left with the couriers contact details, should you wish to arrange a more convenient day.

What is your cancellation/returns policy?

Once your order is placed you have the option of cancelling your order by contacting us directly either by emailing us at webenquiries@tjhughes.co.uk or via telephone on 0843 208 6030. Our cancellation line is open from 10am to 5pm Mon to Thurs and from 10am to 4.30pm Fri.

Once you have received your goods, you have 28 days in which to cancel your order and return the goods for a full refund of the purchase price. We will refund your original delivery charges only where an item is deemed to be faulty/damaged, but not where an item is simply unwanted.

If you would like help with returning your goods we can arrange for them to be collected and the charge for this will be deducted from your refund. The standard charge for this service is currently £10.00 however this amount may increase if you are returning a particularly large/heavy item.

Further details and accurate price listings for this service are available upon request. Please contact us on the above details if you require any further information.

In order for TJ Hughes to continue to offer great products at great prices, we will only cover the delivery cost to return an item if it is deemed to be faulty or unfit for the intended purpose. If the cost of returning your faulty item is in excess of £7.50 please contact us and we will arrange a free collection as we cannot offer a postage refund above this amount.

We recommend that you obtain proof of delivery for any item that you return as faulty, as this will be required in the event that your parcel does not reach us.

In an instance where a parcel does not reach us and proof of delivery cannot be produced, we regret that we will be unable to offer a refund.

All our courier collection services operate on a Mon-Fri rota, and we regret that it will not be possible for us to offer a weekend collection service, irrespective of circumstance.

Your statutory rights remain unaffected
