Freight quotes

If your order is destined for a country outside of the US, UK, or Europe, we will be happy to obtain a freight quote for you with a carrier of our choice. This freight quote will generally be from UPS Freight Forwarding. In some cases, we can obtain a quote on smaller orders through the United States Postal Service (USPS). Both of these services offer traceable web services so that you can monitor the delivery route of your order online.

PLEASE NOTE: We can arrange for your order to be picked up from our US warehouse by your own courier (we can even provide you with estimated weights and dimensions of your order). This service is known as Ex-Works. There is no cost and no quote is needed for this service. If you require this service, please ask when placing your order.

Types of Freight Quotes We Can Obtain

When you need a freight quote, we will ask you whether you wish to have your order delivered Door to Airport (where the order is delivered to the airport nearest you and you arrange for a local courier to pick up and deliver the goods to you) or Door to Door (where we have the order delivered directly to the address you provide). PLEASE NOTE: Door to Door service is not available in all areas.

In each case, your freight quote will include the cost of delivery from our warehouse in Waco, Texas, US, to your airport or door and the customs clearance fee.

PLEASE NOTE: Your quote, whether Door to Airport or Door to Door, does not include any local duties, taxes, or other non-routine customs brokerage charges. Other shipping charges, surcharges, or value-added service charges may apply, and your final shipping charge may differ from our estimated quote based on your own order.

Obtaining a Freight Quote

Before we obtain your estimated freight quote, we will need to know:

1. The products you wish to order
2. Whether you want a Door to Airport or Door to Door quote

Once we have these details, we can ask UPS Freight Forwarding or USPS for an estimated freight quote. As soon as we have the freight quote (which can take up to 5 working days) we will provide it to you.

Delivery addresses

Because many customers have various delivery locations, it is very important that you choose the record with the correct name or department and type the shipping information as it should read on the packing slip.

It is also very important for each order that:

  • Shipping address is complete including Zip/Post code
  • Contact name, e-mail, telephone number, and fax number are provided

Delivery time

Delivery time to your destination will vary due to the distance and availability of the courier’s flights and ground transportation. We use traceable courier services so you can follow their movements from our warehouse to your destination. For all orders delivered via UPS Freight Forwarding, visit www.ups.com/tracking/tracking.html and enter the tracking details we provide. For orders delivered via USPS, visit www.ups.com/tracking/tracking.html and enter the tracking details we provide.

Return policy

All products, with the exception of all curriculum products, videos, DVDs, and CD-ROMs, are guaranteed for 90 days. Videos, DVDs, and CD-ROMs should be viewed for content upon receipt of order and may be returned within 60 days. If a return is necessary, please call our Customer Service Department at (+44) 0845 180 0505 or send us an e-mail. You will be given a Return Goods Authorisation (RGA) number and instructions on how to proceed with the return. Delivery charges for all returns other than shipping errors and/or damaged or defective merchandise will be the customer’s responsibility. When sending back any products, we recommend using the original delivery container as well as the same shipper that delivered the product. All packages must be fully insured. We cannot be responsible for uninsured packages. HEALTH EDCO reserves the right to deny credit for merchandise if it is returned incomplete, abused, or not in sellable condition. A 10% restocking fee may apply.

If a Return Goods Authorisation number does not accompany a return to our warehouse, the return process and customer credit may be delayed.
