  • Goods need to be returned at your own cost, unused and undamaged with their original packaging.
  • The customer still has a duty of care whilst the goods are in their possession and are the customer’s responsibility until they reach the Alpha Packaging premises.
  • If we suspect that the goods have been used or any of the above conditions have not been met we reserve the right to refuse a refund. All goods that are not returned in their original packaging are non refundable and cannot be exchanged.

The majority of our orders are normally sent using our courier service (City Link). Some local orders may be delivered using our own delivery fleet and in certain circumstances we will also use a palletised delivery service (Pallet-Track) depending on the size and weight of the products that you order (if goods are sent by pallet). We also now send many of our smaller orders where possible by Royal Mail either first or second class.
