Delivery Information

SHIPPING OF MACHINES

Shipping method:

Machines are shipped with either DHL or Palletline, depending on the machine you choose.  The choice is based on weight and dimensions, as some ship better with one than the other.

Third party services:

We use third parties for shipping, so delivery times are estimates and can sometimes take longer. We cannot contractually commit to any secure delivery times, as delays occur out with our control.

We offer worldwide shipping across the following zones & services:

- UK: Royal Mail 48 (0-2KG), Parcelforce 48 (2-30KG), DHL Next Day (2-70KG - Premium / Variable Rate) and Pallet Line (>125KG).

- International: DHL (0-70KG - Variable Rate) and Pallet Line / Dachser (>125KG).

SHIPPING DAYS & CUT OFF TIMES

Our warehouse ships items 5 days per week on Monday - Friday.  This excludes weekends and all bank and festive holidays (local and national).

If you place your order before 1pm Mon-Thurs, your machine will usually be shipped within 3 working days. If you place your orders on a Friday after 1pm, this will be classed as a Monday order.

INSURANCE

All items shipped with Parcelforce, DHL or Palletways are fully insured without limit.  Royal Mail parcels do not include insurance, so we only ship low value items on this service.  If you have your order shipped with Royal Mail, we take responsibility for you recieving your item.  e.g. If you coffee subscription gets lost, we will replace it or refund you accordingly.

DAMAGES

If you receive your order damaged, we require you to contact us immediately with the information and photo's of the damage, whether it be just the external packaging or both the packaging and items. We request that you do this within 24 hrs of receiving the your shipment. If it falls over the weekend, then just the next business day.

You should do this by emailing info@machina-coffee.co.uk with the subject heading of the email as ORDER ID / SURNAME / DAMAGE. Please include your contact details, a description of the damage and images of the parcel - inside and outside (as required).

Questions?

If you are unsure about anything, please contact us to check before placing an order - we will be happy to discuss any queries and provide you with the best quote we can offer. If you require faster shipping, we can provide alternative services, but can only do so over the phone or via email, not on the website.

Further details of our shipping services are detailed below, providing clear information on how UK and International sales and terms differ.

INTERNATIONAL CUSTOMERS

We can ship our espresso machines to other European countries, and do so with Palletline, to provide the most secure and safe route for shipping.  Please note that this will usually take a little longer than UK orders, due to various factors including customs etc.

International warranties:

Please note, we do not offer a full warranty for espresso machines to International customers.  This is due to the high costs involved in shipping, and the much higher liklihood of damage being experienced during extra shipping.  Instead we offer you a 2% discount on all machines, and the parts part of your warranty.  This means if you experience issues, we will identify the problem, ship you the parts and guide you how to replace them.
