Goods contained on this website are offered subject to availability.

Delivery will be to the UK or International address specified in your order. If no one is available at a residential address at the time of delivery, a note will be left to advise whether your order has been left in a safe place e.g. with a neighbour, or returned to depot.

For UK orders placed with a value below £100 excluding VAT, we make a Standard Delivery Cost of £4.95 or Next Day Delivery cost of £8.95 for each order (but see note below).

Under normal circumstances all goods on your order will be despatched in full within 48 hours. If an item is out of stock we will advise you by email or phone and endeavour to supply the item as soon as possible. Alternatively, we may supply a near equivalent item or ask you to re-order. If you have any queries on the above do not hesitate to contact Customer Service.

All risk in the products you order (including risk of loss and/or damage to the products) shall pass to you when they are delivered to the delivery address specified in your order.

Notice of damage, defect, non-delivery, or incorrect delivery

You should check all products you receive against your order. If the products you receive are damaged or incorrectly supplied on delivery then you must inform us (by contacting Customer Service by phone or email) within 7 days of your delivery, or within 30 days if the goods are faulty - quoting your customer number and the delivery note number.

We reserve the right to inspect any product reported as faulty before refund or replacement.

Your right to cancel

Under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013) (“CCR”) you have a right to cancel all or part of your contract at any time up to 14 days after the day on which you receive the goods, without giving any reason. With us, you have 30 calendar days to return your order. Please see our returns policy for more information on this.

Your right to cancellation does not apply to goods made to your specification, including Design Your Own Crutches and Design Your Own Walking Sticks.

In the event of a cancellation you will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You can choose to return the goods yourself (after advising cancellation) or arrange for Cool Crutches & Walking Sticks to collect the goods (when advising cancellation).

If you choose to return any items to us, you must do so within 30 calendar days of receiving the item. We will not be responsible for any loss or damage to them in transit and, for this reason, we recommend that you use a recorded delivery service (i.e. tracked and insured).

If you are returning items we must be notified before return. The address of our distribution centre for returns is:

Pick Pack Despatch

On receipt of returned goods, Cool Crutches will reimburse you within 14 days. Any paid delivery charge will be included in your refund. Please note the delivery charge refund will be to the value of Standard Delivery Cost (any additional delivery costs paid for e.g. urgent delivery will not be refunded). You must take reasonable care of the goods while in your possession and we reserve the right to reduce the value of the refund if returned goods show evidence of use beyond the handling necessary to see whether the goods are as expected.

Any refunds given by us will be made to the debit/credit card account, PayPal Account or Klarna (as applicable) provided when you placed your order. We may need to contact you for your credit card details in order to make the refund.

Where we deliver products to a third party in accordance with your order, you will only be able to exercise this cancellation right if you can arrange for us to collect the goods (or return the goods to us).

This is not intended to be a full statement of all your rights under the CCR. Full details of your rights under the CCR are available in the UK from your local Citizens’ Advice Bureau or your Local Authority’s Trading Standards Office.

Promotional messages may include promotions, specials, and other marketing offers (e.g., cart reminders).

You understand that you do not have to sign up for this program in order to make any purchases, and your consent is not a condition of any purchase with Cool Crutches. Your participation in this program is completely voluntary.
