        "content": "Here are Ballicom UK\u2019s relevant terms & conditions for consumers concerning late or delayed deliveries, based on their \u201cPersonal Terms & Conditions\u201d page as of their last update (14 October 2025). ([ballicom.co.uk](https://www.ballicom.co.uk/help/personal-terms-and-conditions/?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n### What Ballicom Says About Delay in Delivery\n\n1. **Estimated Delivery Times Are NOT Guaranteed**  \n   - Ballicom does *not guarantee* the delivery times given. They state that they are not responsible for delays outside their control. ([ballicom.co.uk](https://www.ballicom.co.uk/help/personal-terms-and-conditions/?utm_source=openai))  \n   - If a delay is caused by something outside their control (e.g. supplier issues, transport delays, etc.), they will try to reduce the delay and contact you as soon as possible. ([ballicom.co.uk](https://www.ballicom.co.uk/help/personal-terms-and-conditions/?utm_source=openai))\n\n2. **What Happens If a Delay Becomes \u201cSubstantial\u201d**  \n   - If a delay becomes \u201csubstantial\u201d, you (the consumer) have the right to **end the contract** and receive a refund for any products you\u2019ve paid for but not received. ([ballicom.co.uk](https://www.ballicom.co.uk/help/personal-terms-and-conditions/?utm_source=openai))\n\n3. **No Compensation for Delay Generally**  \n   - Unless the clause above applies, Ballicom explicitly states they will not compensate for losses you incur because of your order arriving later than expected. ([ballicom.co.uk](https://www.ballicom.co.uk/help/personal-terms-and-conditions/?utm_source=openai))\n\n4. **Reporting Non-Delivery or Wrong Quantity**  \n   - If the product hasn\u2019t been delivered, or if the wrong quantity was delivered, you must notify their Customer Service within **3 days** of the scheduled delivery date. ([ballicom.co.uk](https://www.ballicom.co.uk/help/personal-terms-and-conditions/?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n### Your Legal Rights (UK Consumer Law)\n\nBallicom\u2019s terms are supplemented by statutory consumer rights, which may give you additional protections:\n\n- Under the **Consumer Rights Act 2015**, products must be delivered within the time agreed upon. If no date was set, delivery must happen without \u201cundue delay\u201d and certainly no more than 30 days from purchase. ([consumercouncil.org.uk](https://www.consumercouncil.org.uk/consumers/help-consumers/postal-services/online-shopping-and-parcel-delivery-rights?utm_source=openai))  \n- If delivery is late and you paid for delivery by a certain date (for example, for an event / holiday), and the delivery misses that date, you may have a right to cancel and get a full refund. ([consumercouncil.org.uk](https://www.consumercouncil.org.uk/consumers/help-consumers/postal-services/online-shopping-and-parcel-delivery-rights?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n### Summary\n\n| Scenario | What Ballicom\u2019s Terms Say | What Your Legal Rights Say |\n|----------|---------------------------|-----------------------------|\n| Any delay | They are *not liable* for delays outside their control; delivery estimates are not guaranteed. ([ballicom.co.uk](https://www.ballicom.co.uk/help/personal-terms-and-conditions/?utm_source=openai)) | Retailer must deliver in time agreed, or otherwise without undue delay; no more than 30 days if no date agreed. ([consumercouncil.org.uk](https://www.consumercouncil.org.uk/consumers/help-consumers/postal-services/online-shopping-and-parcel-delivery-rights?utm_source=openai)) |\n| Substantial delay | You can end contract & get refund for goods paid for but not received. ([ballicom.co.uk](https://www.ballicom.co.uk/help/personal-terms-and-conditions/?utm_source=openai)) | When the agreed delivery date has passed and time still elapses, you may cancel & be refunded. ([commonslibrary.parliament.uk](https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-briefings/cbp-10614/?utm_source=openai)) |\n| Losses/damages due to late delivery | Ballicom won\u2019t compensate for all losses from late arrival. ([ballicom.co.uk](https://www.ballicom.co.uk/help/personal-terms-and-conditions/?utm_source=openai)) | You may claim damages or losses only if the retailer is in breach of contract (e.g. fails to deliver in line with agreed time). ([commonslibrary.parliament.uk](https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-briefings/cbp-10614/?utm_source=openai)) |\n\n---\n\nIf you like, I can also check if there have been any updates *after* October 2025, just in case the policy has changed."
