My Order
My order is missing an item
If a product you were expecting wasn’t delivered alongside the rest of your order, check your order dispatch confirmation email to ensure all items listed on it arrived – orders with multiple items could be split over a few deliveries, so it may just mean you need to wait a bit longer. Please refer to your order dispatch email and follow the instructions to track your order.
If you receive all your parcels and something is still missing, please Contact Us with the order number and product details so we can figure out what’s happened. If you used Click & Collect and some products are missing, please return to the store or Contact Us so we can sort it out for you.
I’ve placed an order, why haven’t I received my confirmation email?
You’ll receive a confirmation email to the email address you used to place your order. If it’s not there, check your spam folder.
Still can’t find it? You can send a copy of your trolley to your email address by going to My Account, then Order History, and selecting the blue arrow on the left of the order in question and clicking Email. You’ll soon receive a copy of your trolley to the email registered with your account.
The item I want is out of stock
We’re working hard to make sure our stock is regularly replenished. In a hurry? Take a look at our recommended products to see if we have anything else to suit your needs.
Can I get stock transferred from one Toolstation store to another?
Unfortunately, we can’t transfer stock between our stores – but take a look around our site to see if what you’re after is available nearby. If not, we may be able to send it to your local store direct from our warehouse with our Next Day Collection service.
Use our Store Locator to find stock near you, and our speedy Click & Collect service to get the product you need in the place you need.
If you’re in store and we don’t have what you’re after, we’ll check local availability for you and reserve the product in a Toolstation store nearby. Your order will be ready at the nearby store in 5 minutes (as long as it’s open).
Can I amend my order once I’ve placed it?
Unfortunately, we can’t amend an order once you've placed it, as it will be processed immediately. You can either cancel the order if there's been a mistake, or create a new order if you’ve missed something off.
Payment
Can I get a credit account at Toolstation?
Business customers can apply for a Toolstation Trade Account – this includes flexible credit limits with up to 60 days to pay, plus easy online account management. We can also provide access and cards for your employees to make things easier for your business.

I have a Toolstation Trade Account, can I still order online?
Yes you can. If you log into your Trade Account, you can either add the total price to your credit account or pay straight away by choosing another method at checkout.
How do I know my promotion code has worked?
After applying a promotion code, the discount will come off your total bill at checkout.
My code isn’t working
Some promotional codes are account-specific. If you have more than one Toolstation account, please check you have logged in using the correct details. If you are still experiencing issues, please Contact Us for help.

If the item isn’t available in your local store, but we have it in our warehouse, you can arrange a Next Day Collection which will be ready for you to pick up the next business day after 3pm.

Collection dates for Next Business Day Only items will be shown on your order confirmation and, if you’ve supplied us your mobile number, we’ll also text you to let you know when your order is ready to collect.

Returns
What is your refund and exchange policy?

To check if your product is eligible for a return, and to make the process as smooth as possible, please see our Returns page for full details.
One of my items is faulty. What should I do?
If your item is faulty and was purchased less than 30 days ago, take it to your nearest store with its original packaging for an exchange or refund – remember to bring your receipt, invoice or order reference number too.
Has the 30-day period passed? We’ll offer a repair or replacement – providing you’ve reported the fault within 12 months of purchase, and it hasn't been caused by general wear and tear. For faulty goods reported after six months, you must be able to show that the fault was present when delivered to you.
If we’re unable to repair or replace the item, we’ll issue a refund. If the item or packaging has been handled excessively, we reserve the right to reduce the amount we refund you. After 12 months, your statutory rights as a consumer will continue to apply.
Can’t get to your nearest store? You can Contact Us to arrange a collection. Postage charges will be refunded once the fault has been accepted.
