Q. Do you deliver outside of Great Britain?

A. Unfortunately, international delivery is not currently possible.

Q. Is the service available in Northern Ireland & The Republic of Ireland?

A. Unfortunately we’ve had to postpone service to NI&ROI as were unable to ship equipment across the post-Brexit Irish Sea customs border without it having to clear customs and incurring import charges on both legs of the journey.

We will look to resume the service as soon as there is sufficient change in these restrictions and apologise for any disappointment this may cause.

Q. Can I collect or return equipment from a click and collect location?

A. We do have some click and collect locations across Great Britain.  When placing your order, click on ‘change’ to choose a different delivery address, then select ‘Or Collect From’ and search by postcode to see if there is a click and collect location nearby.

Please do check everything as soon as it arrives.  You must let us know by 4pm at the very latest on the day of delivery if there is a problem on 0203 887 6890 as set out in the Terms & Conditions.

Q. What happens if I am not in when the delivery is attempted?

A. Where the carrier has tried to deliver the equipment, but nobody was present to receive it, the couriers will leave a card (where possible) informing you that delivery was attempted.  It is your responsibility to contact the couriers and re-arrange delivery for the following day or arrange to collect the equipment from the couriers in person.  The evaluation period will remain as shown in your order confirmation email.  If you have missed the delivery but have not received a card, please contact us on 0203 887 6890 and we will be able to provide you with your tracking number.

Q. What happens if I miss the collection?

A. Unfortunately we have to charge for late returns and missed collections as these can impact future orders. If the equipment is not ready and available for pick up at the address agreed on the day of pickup, you will be charged a £25 failed collection fee and charged for the extension of hire as laid out in the Terms and Conditions.

If you miss a collection or have a problem getting the kit back to us, please call us as soon as possible to make alternative arrangements on 0203 887 6890.

A. You will receive two emails, the first letting you know the equipment is back with us, the second confirming the equipment has been checked, tested and the order has been closed.

 

DEPOSIT & INSURANCE

Q. I see I am required to pay a security deposit, why is this?

A. The security deposit is a holding deposit against the total value of the equipment you are evaluating. In the event the equipment is damaged, or components lost whilst in your care, the cost of repair/replacements will be debited from the deposit.  If the cost of missing/damaged parts exceed your deposit, the outstanding balance will need to be paid in full immediately.

In the event of loss, theft or damages exceeding the value of your deposit, you could be liable for the full cost of the equipment.

Q. Can somebody else pay my deposit?

A. The security deposit must be paid using a credit card in the same name as the booking and registered to the delivery address.

Q. When will I receive my deposit refund?

A. Once your order has been unpacked and checked and, assuming there are no missing or broken items on the return of the equipment, your deposit will be refunded immediately.

Please note that whilst the deposit is refunded promptly, it can take up to 5 working days to appear on your statement, dependant on your bank/credit card provider.

If there are missing or broken items on the return of the equipment, we will contact you to discuss the matter in accordance with our Terms and Conditions.

Q. Do I need to insure the equipment?

A. We always recommend people have insurance for their total peace of mind. You can either temporarily add the equipment to an existing policy or, if you don’t have an existing policy but would like cover, we would recommend our preferred supplier Performance Film & Media Insurance, click here for details.

Please note, depending on the value or intended use of the equipment we may insist on goods being fully insured whilst in your care. If this affects an order you place, we'll notify you as soon as possible. 4Fill may request proof you have insurance cover for the equipment whilst it is in your care and reserve the right to cancel an order should the cover be inadequate or if no proof of insurance is provided.

 

REQUESTS FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Q. I’ve been asked to provide further information, why is this?

A. We take a proactive approach to protect our customers from fraudulent activity, as part of this process we may ask you to provide further information including, but not limited to, previous and current address, photo ID, contact details, existing equipment and intended usage. 

4Fill reserves the right to cancel an order if it is not satisfied with the information provided, or believes the service is being used with disingenuous intent.
