Returns Policy

At Christchurch Timber, customer satisfaction is our top priority. We want every customer to feel confident when purchasing from us. If for any reason you’re not completely satisfied with your order, our clear and straightforward returns policy is here to help.

Returning Your Goods

If you decide that you no longer need your purchase, you may return any items to Christchurch Timber within 14 days of purchase, provided they are in a resellable condition. This applies to timber, building materials, and other products purchased from our store.

To arrange a return, please contact our office as soon as possible on 01202 483 471. A member of our team will guide you through the returns process and help organise the safe return of your goods.

Once the items have been returned to us, they will be inspected to ensure they are in a resellable condition. Refunds are typically processed within 7 working days after inspection and approval.

If you have any questions about returning timber or building supplies, our team will be happy to assist.

Over Ordered or No Longer Need a Product?

If you have over-ordered materials or no longer require a product purchased from Christchurch Timber, we may be able to accept a return subject to the following conditions:

  • Collection Charges: Where collection of goods is required, this may be arranged at our discretion. In most cases, the collection charge will be equivalent to the original delivery fee. Additional charges may apply for collections from certain locations or for specific timber and building materials that require specialist handling or transport.
  • Restocking Fee: Returned goods may be subject to a restocking fee of up to 20%, depending on the product type and the circumstances of the return.
  • Exclusion for Millboard Products: Due to their high value and the risk of minor damage or marking during handling and transport, Millboard decking products are non-returnable unless they are faulty or have been delivered in error.

Non-Returnable Goods

Some products purchased from Christchurch Timber cannot be returned unless they are faulty or have been delivered in error. This policy helps ensure that all timber and building materials we resell remain in suitable condition for our customers.

The following items are not eligible for return:

  • Cut, made-to-measure, or customised goods, including timber or building materials that have been altered to specific sizes or requirements.

  • Products that have been mixed inseparably with other materials after delivery.

  • Out-of-date products that have exceeded their usable shelf life.

  • Goods removed from their original packaging and no longer in a resellable condition.

  • Products stored externally where packaging or the product itself has become damaged, weathered, or faded.

  • Items unsuitable for return due to health and hygiene reasons.

  • Perishable building materials, such as cement, plaster, or similar products that may deteriorate once stored or opened.

  • Millboard decking products, which are non-returnable due to their high value and the risk of minor damage during transportation or handling, unless they are faulty or supplied in error.

How to Arrange a Return

If you need to return an item, please contact the Christchurch Timber office as soon as possible on 01202 483 471. Our team will guide you through the next steps, including arranging the return of your timber or building materials and advising on any applicable collection or restocking charges.

At Christchurch Timber, we aim to make purchasing timber and building supplies as straightforward as possible. If you have any questions about our returns policy, product eligibility, or the returns process, our team will be happy to help.
