Scotts & Co., Burwells Home and Bloom are trading names of Scotts Limited, Reg. No. 2548299 (England), hereinafter referred to as Scotts & Co., Registered Office: 1 Crompton Road, Groundwell, Wiltshire, SN25 5AW. English law applies to all orders placed on this marketplace, and any disputes will be heard in the courts of England and Wales. When you place an order with us you are making an offer to buy our goods. Once we have verified the price and availability of the goods, we will send a notification through this marketplace to confirm that your goods have been despatched to you which signifies that a contract has been made between us.
Every effort is made to ensure that our estimated delivery times are met; however occasionally delays in delivery due to unforeseen factors are inevitable. Scotts & Co. shall not be held liable for any delay or failure to deliver goods within our estimated delivery times. Please be aware that some delivery estimates are generated by and supplied by marketplaces and these are not always accurate. In the unlikely event that the goods are no longer available, we may supply you with substitute goods. If you decide not to accept the substitute goods, you will not have to pay to return them to us. As standard the order charge will include a non-refundable charge for postage & packing. We reserve the right to adjust the VAT element if this changes from 20 per cent (as advised by HMRC).
Price Policy
Every item is described as accurately as possible and represents excellent value for money. All product prices are shown in pounds sterling and are inclusive of VAT and exclusive of postage and packing charges, unless otherwise specified. All product prices advertised on this marketplace are correct at the time of order only and relate to internet purchases only.
Scotts & Co. will only accept orders if there are no errors in the prices of the products ordered as advertised on this marketplace. In the case of a mistake where a pricing error is discovered or for reasons beyond our reasonable control, e.g. alterations to the rate of value added tax. If the correct price is higher than the price displayed on the marketplace, you may return the goods within our 30-day approval, in new condition.
Scotts & Co. reserves the right to change prices at any time. We reserve the right to adjust the VAT element if this changes from 20% (as advised by HMRC).
Price Policy on Clearance/Sale Prices
In some instances, items may have been sold at their original prices on the website or catalogue of one of our Scotts & Co. sister companies, and items may not necessarily have ever sold previously on this marketplace. Details of all the Scotts & Co. brands are available on request. We always strive to bring our customers the best offers and deals whilst ensuring to operate fair commercial practices without misleading our customers. Where we detail price reductions on this marketplace the following pricing policy shall apply: The βWASβ price shown next to an item on this marketplace is the highest price at which the item has been offered for sale in the last 12 months by us or one of our sister brands (details on request). Some items have been offered for sale at a price lower than the βWASβ price during the last 12 months but, unless otherwise indicated, the βNOWβ price shown is the lowest price at which the item has been offered by Scotts & Co. Details of intervening prices are available on request. In all cases the βWASβ price will have applied for a continuous period of 28 days or more.
Promotions
Promotions are subject to availability and are not an indication of availability. Offers may be changed or withdrawn without notice by Scotts & Co. at any time. We reserve the right to cancel a promotion / reject redemption of a promotional code when stock runs out or when the total value of the promotional codes already exceeds a certain financial value.
Payment Policy
All orders must be paid for in pounds sterling. We will take all reasonable steps to ensure all the information provided by you during payment is secure by using an encrypted secure payment mechanism. However, in the absence of negligence on our part, we will not be liable for any loss that you may incur in the unlikely event that a third party gains unauthorised access to any information you provide to us. Where you have paid by credit or debit card, the card will be charged at the time your payment is approved by us unless an item is out of stock for a long period. However, all payments by credit card or debit card need to be subsequently authorised by the relevant card issuer. If you have paid for products which we cannot supply, we will refund you as soon as possible.
Delivery
We can only deliver to the address you provide during the payment and checkout process. For security reasons we are unable to accept changes of address once payment has been provided with a delivery address.
Our standard delivery charges, and express delivery charges, are stated on each product listing page. These prices apply to the UK Mainland. Delivery of items to Northern Ireland, the Scottish Highlands, UK islands, the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands will incur a supplementary delivery charge per item which will be specified on each productβs listing page. We despatch all items as soon as we can, so parcels may arrive separately. Items are delivered on average within 5 days β although we ask you to allow up to 10 days before raising a claim for non-receipt. We deliver to Northern Ireland, Scottish Highlands, UK Islands, Isle of Man, Channel Islands and BFPO addresses. But regrettably, at the present time, we are unable to ship orders to Eire or any other address outside the UK.
Please note that for products where we canβt offer express delivery, we will not display an express delivery option on those product listing pages.
Express Delivery Service
Express delivery is available on selected products and this will be shown on individual product pages where applicable. The order deadline for our Express Delivery is 4.00pm, Monday to Friday (an order received before the deadline on a Friday will be delivered on the following Monday, whilst after the deadline will be delivered on the following Tuesday).

Online and printed images are intended as a guide only and should not be regarded as absolutely correct. If you would like to see a fabric swatch prior to ordering our bespoke furniture or headboards, please contact us.

Recycling
Recycling your old electricals is easy!
Recycle your electrical and electronic devices free at your local recycling centre. To find your nearest centre, search for the Recycle More website and type in your postcode.
Why recycle?
Unwanted electrical equipment is the UKβs fastest growing type of waste.
Many electrical items can be repaired or recycled, saving natural resources and the environment. If you do not recycle electrical equipment will end up in landfill where hazardous substances will leak out and cause soil and water contamination β harming wildlife and also human health.
Weβre proud to support your local authority in providing local recycling facilities for electrical equipment.
To remind you that old electrical equipment can be recycled, it is now marked with the crossed-out wheeled bin symbol. Please do not throw any electrical equipment (including those marked with this symbol) in your bin.
What is WEEE?
The Waste Electrical or Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive requires countries to maximise separate collection and environmentally friendly processing of these items.
How are we helping?
In the UK, distributors including retailers must provide a system which allows all customers buying new electrical equipment the opportunity to recycle their old items free of charge. As a responsible retailer, we have met the requirements placed on us by financially supporting the national network of WEEE recycling centres established by local authorities. This is achieved through membership of the national Distributor Take-back scheme (DTS).
To find more information on WEEE recycling and to locate your nearest recycling centre please search for the Recycle More website.
Waste Battery Regulations
Under the Waste Battery Regulations, Scotts & Co. are now offering a take-back scheme for all portable waste batteries. You can return your waste batteries to our business premises in person. Alternatively, you can find your local portable battery recycling facility by searching for the Recycle Now website. Charges for 03 numbers are the same as standard UK landline numbers starting 01 or 02. Calls to 03 numbers are often included in bundled minutes and unlimited call packages. Calls to 0844 numbers cost 7p per minute plus your telephone companyβs access charge. Please contact your provider for more information. All calls may be monitored and recorded for training purposes.
