Your Direct Delivery Process:
- PLEASE NOTE: Drop-Shipping is only available to UK companies at this time.
- Your customer requests a product that you do not have in stock, or perhaps requests a brand new, untouched version of a product they have just tried instore.
- You check the product availability online at www.bandm.co.uk or on the phone: 01691 652449 - out of stock items cannot be ordered for direct delivery
- Take full payment from your customer, and tell them it will be delivered directly to them.
- You will still be their point of contact, we are unable to liaise with your customer.
- Place the order with the B&M sales office or online, ensuring you provide the customer’s delivery address, email address and phone number.
- We will not be able to ship orders without the customer's email or phone numbers.
- Please note: Direct Delivery orders processed online may not show Direct Delivery shipping charges.
- All orders shipped outside of Great Britain / UK Mainland (including Northern Ireland, Republic of Ireland and all EU countries) will require a copy of the customer's sales invoice. Our sales office will require an emailed copy before despatch is possible.
- We’ll ship it to your customer directly.
- As of 1st January 2021, ALL customers outside the UK will be liable for Import Duties / Customs Charges. The percentage varies by product type. As a guide, duty on a guitar is approx 3% of the purchase price plus shipping.
You are responsible for informing your customer about Import tariffs and duties. Payment of the duties are the responsibility of the customer.

- In the event of a warranty claim, the end user must contact you, the store with whom they hold their contract of purchase.
- If the delivery to your customer fails through no fault of ours (i.e. Customer not able to receive goods or customer fails to pick up goods from drop off point) the goods will be automatically sent to you and an additional charge of £15 will be invoiced to your account, this is due to return costs of the product.
