ORDERING & DELIVERY

What time is your cut off for next day delivery?

Our cut off time for next day delivery is 3:30pm. Orders placed after 3:30pm will not be dispatched until the next working day. More information can be found on our delivery page.

Can I collect my order?

Yes. Collections can be made during our opening hours either in person, with at least 1 hours’ notice, OR by your own courier with prior confirmation from us.

Can I place an order without creating an account?

Yes. You can place an order as a guest with no obligation to create an account. We do recommend that you create an account however, for a more convenient shopping experience in future. It’s quick and easy to create an account. Just visit the registration page and follow the instructions on-screen.

Can I alter my order?

Unfortunately due to our fast turnaround, we cannot amend orders once they have been placed.

Can I track my order?

Yes - once the courier has collected your order from our warehouse, you will receive confirmation and your tracking number. Alternatively, you can find this number by entering your order number and email on our “Track Your Order” page. Using this and the postcode of the delivery address, you can track the status of your order on the courier’s website.

Do you deliver outside the UK?

Unfortunately we do not currently offer international shipping.

The item I want is out of stock, can I still order it?

If the item you want is out of stock, please contact our sales team on hello@msdist.co.uk and they will help you.

What are your delivery options?

MS Dist offers next working day delivery for in stock items to most of the UK on all working day orders placed before 3.30pm. Orders placed after 3.30pm may not be fully processed or dispatched until the next working day. More information can be found on our delivery page.

We will process orders online up to 30kg, including taking payment for this as part of your standard checkout process.

For more specialist delivery options, such as overweight or oversized services, you can still submit your order online, but will need to speak to a member of our team to confirm delivery cost and payment over the phone depending on your requirements. Details will be provided to you during the checkout process.

 

RETURNS

Can I return or exchange an item?

You can absolutely return your item to us. You have 14 days from the date you received it to inform us that you would like to return it. This is subject to the product being returned in its original condition, complete with all parts and accessories. 

If you want to exchange the product for a different one, our team will be happy to help you find an alternative and process that order for you. 

How do I return an item?

To return an item you will need to request a Returns Reference Number within 14 days of receiving your order. To do this, and find out more about how to return an item, please go to our dedicated returns webpage by following the link provided.

On this page you will find our returns request form which is the first step in returning your item to us, along with other instructions on what to do.

Who covers the return shipping costs?

For retail customers, we cover return costs only if the item is faulty or mis-described. In all other cases, including if you're exercising your right to change your mind, you're responsible for return shipping costs. If we collect the product from you and you're responsible for the return costs, we'll charge you the direct cost of collection, equivalent to our standard delivery charges at the time.

For business customers, in accordance with our terms and conditions, trade customers are required to return authorised goods at their own expense.

PROFESSIONAL ICT PROVIDERS

Does MS Dist sell to professional ICT providers such as ISPs and resellers?

No. MS Dist has discontinued its professional IT solutions and services range and is now a direct-to-market ecommerce platform. However, you can transition your account to our sister company, Westbase.io. Many of our previous channel customers have already done so.

Simply follow this link to request an account or, alternatively, submit a contact request here to discuss your requirements with the team.

Westbase.io has been a channel-focused organisation for over 35 years, so this transition (started in April 2024) promises to offer professional ICT and service providers an enhanced support model tailored to your needs. By migrating our professional IT and communications customers to Westbase.io, you can rest assured that you’ll retain access to the same dedicated MS Distribution team and trusted vendors. However, you can also benefit from added resilience, expanded expertise, and a wider array of solutions and services from a single, channel-centric provider.
