It's important to note that the item dimensions don't include any protruding features such as controls and handles etc. Item dimensions represent the casing of the item only. Whilst we try to be as accurate as possible, all sizes, weights and measurements quoted on the website are approximate.

Images of the items shown on our website are for illustrative purposes only. We've made every effort to display all item colours accurately. However we can't guarantee that all the images displayed on your device will accurately reflect the true colour of the item delivered to you. Please be aware that colours may differ between manufacturers.

Whilst every effort has been made to ensure that item specifications are correct on the website, due to continual item development through research & design, specifications may change without notice.

If you're not happy with your product, just let us know within 30 days of delivery and you can return it. Your refund will be made within 14 days of collection from your home and it will include the cost of delivery. It's important you don’t use or install your product. If you do, we'll have to deduct up to 50% of its value from your refund, as we cannot resell it as a new item. We're happy for you to unpack the product and inspect it properly. We'll refund you in full for items which haven't been used, as long as you let us know you want to return it within 30 days of delivery. Please note, software cannot be returned.

We want your delivery to go as smoothly as possible, which means that we need a helping hand from you on the day. You might want to plan how your driver will access your property, and how your new appliance will get to its new home in your house. It’s a good idea to move your car off your drive, furniture that could get in the way, or even take pictures down that could get damaged during delivery. If we’re disposing of an item for you, make sure that it’s ready for us to take.

Last but not least, make sure you keep an ear out for phone calls or knocks at the door. It could be your delivery!

Handy hint: Keep a note of your serial number before your appliance is installed. This makes it easier for you to claim any promotions back, or to get help if there’s a problem.

Yes. Our delivery team engineers have been through the most intensive of training courses, and are all Gas Safe registered and skilled in electrical connections. Your safety is our priority, so we've made sure they know exactly what they're doing.

We connect all freestanding cookers, built in ovens and hobs. However some induction hobs can be trickier to connect due to the wiring required, and we will only be able to identify a problem like this when we arrive. If this happens, you may need an electrician to amend your wiring. We also install integrated fridge freezers. Unfortunately, this service is not available in Northern Ireland, Jersey, Guernsey and the Isles of Scilly.

This depends on what appliance you’d like us to install. For example, cooking appliances that require engineers to visit your home will cost a little more than setting up your TV. We’ll display installation prices for your items in the basket.

Yes, that's no problem. Our engineers can disconnect your old item for you when we arrive, as long as you have selected our installation service.

Please make sure The Hot Zone around your hob is free from switches and anything flammable. There also needs to be a gap of at least 65cm between your electric hob and the cooker hood or ceiling. This should be 75cm for gas hobs. If the Hot Zone isn’t clear of hazards, we might not be able to install.

No, we won't be able to disconnect a gas or electric cooker if you haven't selected our installation service. You would need to make sure the item is disconnected before we arrive to connect.

As you can probably imagine, and for your safety, there is a lot of legislation around connecting cookers, so there are things that we need you to check before we arrive. We've come up with a handy guide and all the information is on our installation page.

LPG stands for "Liquid Petroleum Gas". This is usually supplied in cylinders and is common in remote areas that don't have a mains natural gas supply.

You'll need to check within the item specification on our website to see if it can be converted, or by speaking to one of our team.

The "Hot Zone" is the area between your cooker or hob and anything above it. This area needs to be clear of any flammable materials, such as wallpaper, cupboards or shelves and plug sockets. If we arrive, and the hot zone isn't clear, we wouldn't be able to complete your installation. To see exactly what a "Hot Zone" looks like, and for details on the required gap, click here.

Connection is subject to availability and postcode restrictions may apply. We will send your item out with our specialist installation team, so they can deliver, connect and have you cooking away in no time!

Every installation is different, so it's difficult to say. Generally we ask you to allow at least 45 minutes per installation. Our guys are true professionals, and do this every day, so they will work as quickly and safely as possible.

If there is a problem with installation, don't worry. Give us a call and if it's something that can be easily rectified, we can advise you on how to do this and rearrange your connection for another time. In some cases, this may not be possible, so if this happens, or if you would prefer a refund, we'll sort that for you.

Sorry, but our installation service is only available at the point of delivery, and can't be purchased separately.

The installation service is subject to engineer availability in your area. When you select the service and enter your postcode at the checkout, the calendar will display the next date available for your installation. Pre-selected timeslots aren't available with our premium installation service. However, you will be allocated a timeslot and we'll notify you at 7am on the day of delivery.

As long as your worktop is made of wood, this won't be a problem. We won't be able to cut into any other surfaces, such as granite, composite or metal worktops. We'll install all hobs as long as the current hole in the worktop is no larger than the footprint of the new hob. If you're moving from a four burner to a five or six burner, we can make your aperture bigger to install the new hob if required.

We certainly will. One thing to mention though - our delivery team will need to assess the unit on arrival to make sure it's in good condition and strong enough to house your new oven. As long as there's no existing damage, and we don't deem it unsafe, we'll have you connected up in no time.

That's absolutely fine. Our delivery team will disconnect either gas or electric, but will only be able to connect up the new item if the fuel supply for that type already is there.

They will if you've paid for installation. These days, most cooking items aren't supplied with cables or hoses, for your safety. However, our delivery team will come prepared. But, if you haven't paid for installation, we won't be able to supply these.

Unfortunately, our premium installation service is not available at commercial properties that don't have a secondary domestic meter. This includes integrated washing machines, integrated washer dryers, integrated dishwashers, integrated fridge freezers, integrated fridges, integrated freezers, ovens, cookers, range cookers and hobs. However, our regular installation is available on all other products at commercial properties.

Door reversal is included as part of our premium connection service on integrated appliances. For qualifying freestanding appliances, you’ll need to select and purchase this as a separate service when you checkout. On the product page of your chosen model, scroll down the specifications and you'll be able to check the default hinge position and whether or not the doors can be reversed.

Mobile phone stock that’s brought into the UK from Europe and is inspected and officially modified by authorised partners to ensure it includes UK software, accessories and instructions.

We go to extraordinary lengths to bring you the best possible prices, sourcing official Samsung mobile stock not just from the UK, but from across Europe as well.

When we find a cheaper price on the Samsung mobile phone you want, be it here in the UK or from our partners in Europe, we pass those savings on to you by simply offering you better deals at lower prices.

To make sure your experience is as good as the prices we offer, our authorised partners inspect and officially modify any European-sourced stock to make sure it runs on UK firmware and includes UK accessories, like a 3-pin plug charging head.

Ultimately, the Samsung mobile phone you receive is the same whether it’s sourced from the UK or Europe – they’re all brand-new with a full manufacturer's warranty – all that changes is the price, meaning you can get a better deal than buying elsewhere.

One just controls the heating, so it’s great for combination boilers. The other connects to your hot water supply as well as the heating, which means it’s for boilers that have a hot water tank. Before you buy a thermostat, just make sure you’ve chosen the right type to match your boiler.

If you’re lucky enough to get unlimited hot water, you’ll have a combination boiler. If not, you’ll have a boiler with a hot water tank or airing cupboard that’ll store the hot water supply. In this case, you need the second kind of thermostat to control the water as well as the heating.

Hive thermostats work with most electric boilers, oil boilers (but you’ll need an OFTEC qualified engineer for installation), and gas and LPG central heating systems. Unfortunately, it won’t work with storage or electric room heaters, solid fuel boilers or heat pumps, or boilers that currently have Honeywell SmartFit Controls or a Vaillant VR 65 Control Centre.

Just bear in mind that Hive can’t guarantee a thermostat will work with your specific boiler until an engineer tries to install it. But if the requirements set out in the question below have been met, and the thermostat still can’t be installed, you won’t be charged.

For more information, check out this link. It also has a list of Worcester Intelligent Appliance boilers that won’t work with Hive thermostats.

You can register for an account in just a few simple steps by following this link. We’ll ask you to enter an email address and create an account password. We’ll then send you an activation email. You’ll need to follow the instructions in this email to activate your account.

No, not at all. You’d just need to enter your payment and address details each time you place an order with us.

We’ll remember your addresses, payment details and up to 3 bank cards so you can place your next order in no time. You’ll also be able to change your delivery date, add a timeslot and download your invoice so you’ll be in total control of your order. Plus, if you ever need to contact the manufacturer about your appliance, all their contact details will be on your order.

We won’t automatically create an account if you place an order with us, so you will need to register. You can do this here. If you’re ordering with us, you’ll also see information on how to register on your order confirmation page. We’ll give you the option to remember the payment and address details used in your order.

It may be that the password you’re entering isn’t strong enough. Try using some numbers and upper case letters to increase the strength. Your password should be unique to you and not something other people will easily guess.

We’ll send your activation email out immediately, but how quickly you receive it may depend on your email provider. Please also check your junk mail just in case. Add us to your ‘safe senders’ or ‘contacts’ list to make sure emails from ao make it straight into your inbox. If you haven’t received your email within a couple of hours, let us know.

Once we have your information, we’ll ensure we protect it with all of the appropriate safeguards. It’s important that you also take responsibility for protecting your account information. Make sure your password is strong, don’t share it with others, and try not to use the same one for lots of online accounts. Don’t send your password by email – we’ll never ask you to do so. We won’t ask you for your password information over the ‘phone; we’ll advise you on how to reset it. When you register a card within your account, we will authorise a 10p charge from that card. Although it may appear on your statement, we don't actually take the payment from you, it's just a validity check.

No, for security, we ask you to reset your password yourself. We wouldn’t ask you to share your password with us, but if you contact us we can advise on how to reset it.

From time to time we may also send you promotional offers and details, including when you first register for My Account.

This is a promotional offer and can be withdrawn at any time.

There are a few reasons why Click + Collect might not be available. Some of our items are too large or heavy to be delivered to a store, so we only offer this service on smaller products and accessories.

At the checkout, you'll be able to search locations by entering your postcode. Collection points will appear in a list and on a map. Simply click the store that's most convenient for you to select it.

Some postcodes have a longer lead time, and therefore next day delivery cannot be guaranteed. The following post codes require 1 additional service day: AB1 – AB99, DD8 – DD11, IV1 – IV40, IV52 – IV54, IV63, KA27 – KA28, KW1 – KW14 and PA20 – PA40.

The following postcodes require 2 additional service days: TR21 – TR25.

You’ll know exactly where your precious cargo is up to on delivery day thanks to our Track Your Order service. Don’t let us get in the way of your day – you can view a live estimated delivery window, an interactive map of where we’re up to and how many deliveries we’re making before we get to you. Plans can change sometimes, we get that, so we like to stay flexible. You can use Track Your Order to change your delivery date and even request another invoice should you need it.

If you've ordered a smaller item and had notification that it's being delivered by DPD, you'll receive a tracking link directly from DPD on the morning of your delivery. If your item is being delivered to a Yodel Store using our Click & Collect service, you'll be able to track it using notifications from Yodel.

Of course. We’re nice like that. For large appliances and TV's, right up until 2pm the day before we’re due to deliver, you can use the Track Your Order page to make any changes to the date. You’ll need your order number (the one we sent you in the text message and email confirmation) and your postcode (we’re hoping you know that bit).

If you’ve ordered a small item, such as a small appliance, computing product, selected TV and audio products, a Smart Home item, gaming product or garden and DIY product, we're unable to amend the order between payment and delivery. These items will be delivered by our trusted logistics friends at DPD. If so, you’ll receive a confirmation text message and email to let you know when it’ll be arriving. Right up to the day of delivery you can visit their website and change your delivery date, or arrange to collect from your local DPD pickup shop. If you've chosen our Click & Collect delivery service, you'll have 10 days to collect from your chosen Yodel Store, so no need to rearrange - just pop along when it's convenient! 

Love your neighbour - particularly if they’ll look after your parcel for you. For certain smaller items delivered by our very own AO Logistics team, you can ask us to leave your order in a safe place or with a neighbour if you’re not going to be in.

No need to hang around all day twiddling your thumbs, the interactive map on the Track Your Order lets you track the delivery van that’s carrying your order. You can’t use it to peek into the driver’s cabin but you can zoom in and out and check how far away your order is from your home. The location should update every ten minutes, but, if it stops moving it could be down to signal issues. Or, your delivery might be happening before your very eyes.

Not sure if you’ve got time to pop out for some milk? On the Track Your Order page, we’ll let you know how many deliveries we’re scheduled to make before we get your order to you.

Time is precious and so is your parcel. To save you waiting around all day, on the morning of delivery you’ll get a four hour delivery timeframe, then as we get closer, we’ll be able to give you a shorter estimation. So, there’s no need to wait around. If the timeframe doesn’t change for a while, it could be down to signal issues in your area.

We’re sorry to hear that your product is faulty. Head over to My Account where you can find out the best way to report your fault. If you don’t have a My Account, don’t worry! You can sign up with the same email address that you used to place your order, and it will automatically load your purchased products. If you want to speak to us, we can support you through the process, or you can contact the manufacturer directly, with the available numbers here.

If your product is under warranty and you want an engineer to come and look at a fault with your product, just call the manufacturer directly.

While it’s best to contact the manufacturer first, if you’d rather not, you can head to My Account to let us know you need help, and one of our team will get in touch.

If you aren’t under warranty but you’ve purchased AO Care and want to book an engineer visit through that, you can either visit www.ao-care.com with the details of your plan that were emailed to you, or call 0800 597 8588.

Or, if you haven’t already purchased an AO Care plan and want an engineer visit outside of your product’s warranty, take a look at our Repair & Care service.

Absolutely we can! You need our Repair & Care service. We can send an engineer to inspect and repair your appliance, and then you’ll get a 12 month warranty included once we’ve completed the job too.
