General Questions
- QCan I open a credit account?
In short, yes! And you'll get access to a whole range of benefits just for doing so.
The main benefits of having a credit account are that you can pay by direct debit, you get access to the Wessex Corporate Rewards program where we may take you to specialist corporate events such as F1, Rugby Matches, Holidays and leading sporting events and more. Credit account set-ups are dependent on a successful credit check and forecast order volumes.
- QWhat if I can't find a product I'm looking for?
As industry leaders in janitorial equipment, machinery and repairs, we are able to supply over 500,000 products and parts. This is a bit much to offer on our website, so we have only selected what we feel provides the most value to our customers. If you can't find what you're looking for, drop an email to sales@wessexcleaning.com and we will be able to provide a quotation.
- QDo you offer volume/bulk discounts?
In short, yes. Account customers already benefit from our volume pricing, but if you are new to Wessex and would like us to look into volume discounts, please drop us an email with everything you need including quantities and we will send you your bespoke pricing.
- QWhy can I see different prices when I sign into my account?
If you have a credit account with us, you have benefitted from a free bespoke rate review on all of your products, if you wanted one. Your bespoke pricing is shown against all of our products online when you sign in. If you are not signed in, you will only see our retail pricing. This is called 'live pricing' and has been designed to give all customers a much greater experience using our online shop.
Delivery
- QHow long does delivery take?
If your whole order is in stock and ordered before 10:30, you can expect your order the next day in most circumstances, providing your whole order is in stock. Unless we have an agreement with you to part-ship. Where we are self-delivering, orders are always fulfilled the next day. Where we need to use external couriers, other factors could impact the delivery time. However, we ship all orders on a 24-hr service.
- QWhat's the minimum order value for free delivery?
For our account customers, you will receive free delivery on all items. For 'pay as you go' customers the minimum order value is £100.00 to qualify for free delivery.
- QClick and Collect
Buy online and come into our store to collect your order. At checkout, select 'click and collect' as your delivery method. We will then drop you an email once your order is ready to collect. Orders are typically ready for collection in under 10 minutes.
- QWhat are the shipping costs?
If you're an account customer, £0. If you do not have a credit account with Wessex, the costs for delivery are based on a number of factors.
- Size of the item
- Size & Weight of the item
- Category of the item (liquid, solid, hazardous etc.)
- Your location
As a result, our shipping costs are variable so we can deliver the best service to you. You will find how much your cost will be by adding your products to your basket. Shipping is then calculated.
