We only accept orders for delivery to the UK mainland, and for cardholders with a UK mainland registered address.
When you place an order with Bartletts HiFi, an e-mail confirming your order and the order details will be sent to you.

Availability
Stock levels on the website are updated approximately every hour, so the data given may be up to 75 minutes old. Stock levels are not guaranteed to be accurate, and if you have a specific need for an item by a particular date, please contact us. Availability of mail orderable products is indicated according to the definitions below:
- In stock - Goods available for immediate delivery/collection.
- Normal stock item - Specific information about stock levels is unavailable, but item is normally available for immediate delivery/collection.
- Call for availability - This may mean a number of things, including awaiting a delivery, item in short supply, unable to check the stock level or an item that is not normally kept in stock and will have to be ordered. We will give an estimated delivery time when you call.
Pricing
All prices are shown inclusive of UK VAT at the current rate. Prices for individual items do not include carriage charges as these are added at the shopping basket stage.
Although every effort is made to ensure the accuracy of pricing information on the website, errors may occur and prices may change. Prices are verified prior to dispatch of items. If the correct price is lower than the price shown on your order, the correct price will be charged. If the correct price is higher than the price shown in your order, we will notify you and either give you the option to cancel the order or to pay the correct price, or else notify you that we are cancelling the order.
Delivery
When your order is received, we will send an email to confirm that the good(s) have been dispatched if they are in stock, or to give an estimated delivery time. If we can only fulfil part of an order immediately, we will contact you to ask whether you want the available item(s) delivered immediately, or wait until the whole order can be completed.
Where an item is in stock, and the order is received before midday, we aim to despatch the same day, for next business day delivery. Items ordered after midday on Friday, or on a Saturday or Sunday, or before midday on Monday will be despatched on Monday for delivery on Tuesday.
Most items will require a signature, so someone will need to be at the delivery address to receive and sign for the good(s).
Returns
Under The Consumer Protection (Distance Selling) Regulations 2000 (SI 2000 No. 2334), you have the right to cancel your contract with us and return the good(s). If you wish to exercise this right, you must notify us that you wish to cancel within 7 (seven) days, either by letter, fax or email. Good(s) should then be returned to us, at your expense. We strongly suggest that you use a from of delivery that provides insurance should the good(s) be lost or damaged in transit. If you are unable to arrange the return of the good(s), please contact us and we can arrange for collection, once the good(s) have been properly packaged. The price of this will be charged to you at cost.
