Terms & Conditions
Please read these terms carefully before using our services.
Last updated: 30 September 2026
These terms and conditions ('Terms') govern your use of the website stkhltd.com and the courier services provided by STKH LTD ('we', 'us', 'our'), a company registered in England and Wales.
By accessing our website or using our services, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use our website or services.
1. Our Services
STKH LTD provides same day, next day, and national courier and delivery services within the United Kingdom. The specific scope, pricing, and conditions of each service are agreed at the time of booking.
We reserve the right to refuse any booking or shipment at our sole discretion, including where items are prohibited, where collection or delivery is not operationally feasible, or where we have reasonable grounds to believe the booking is fraudulent.
2. Bookings and Quotes
All quotes provided via our website or by telephone are indicative only and are subject to confirmation. A binding contract is formed only when we have confirmed your booking in writing (including by email).
You are responsible for ensuring that all information provided at the time of booking — including addresses, contact details, parcel dimensions, weight, and declared value — is accurate and complete. We accept no liability for delays or failures arising from inaccurate information.
3. Prohibited Items
You must not tender for carriage any item that is illegal, dangerous, or prohibited by law, including but not limited to: controlled drugs, firearms and ammunition, explosive or flammable materials, live animals, perishable goods requiring temperature control (unless agreed in advance), and items of exceptional value without prior written agreement.
We reserve the right to open and inspect any consignment where we have reasonable grounds to suspect it contains prohibited items. We will report any illegal items to the relevant authorities.
4. Liability and Limitations
Our liability for loss of or damage to a consignment is limited to the lower of the actual value of the goods or £100 per consignment, unless you have purchased additional insurance cover at the time of booking.
We accept no liability for: indirect or consequential loss; loss of profits, revenue, or business; delays caused by circumstances beyond our reasonable control (including adverse weather, road closures, or industrial action); or damage to items that are inadequately packaged.
We do not exclude or limit our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited by English law.
Claims for loss or damage must be notified to us in writing within 7 days of the scheduled delivery date. Claims notified after this period may not be accepted.
5. Packaging
You are responsible for ensuring that all items are adequately and securely packaged to withstand the normal rigours of transit. We accept no liability for damage to items that are insufficiently packaged.
Fragile items must be clearly marked and, where the Fragile Handling add-on has been selected, packaged in accordance with our guidance. Selection of the Fragile Handling add-on does not remove your responsibility to package items appropriately.
6. Delivery
Delivery times quoted are estimates only and are not guaranteed unless expressly stated in writing. We will make every reasonable effort to deliver within the quoted timeframe but accept no liability for delays caused by circumstances beyond our control.
If no one is available to accept delivery at the specified address, we will attempt to leave the consignment with a neighbour or in a safe location, or return it to our depot. A redelivery charge may apply.
Where Proof of Delivery has been selected, a signature or photographic confirmation will be obtained at the point of delivery.
7. Payment
Payment terms are as agreed at the time of booking. For business account customers, invoices are payable within 30 days of the invoice date unless otherwise agreed in writing.
We reserve the right to charge interest on overdue invoices at the rate of 8% per annum above the Bank of England base rate, in accordance with the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998.
8. Cancellations
Bookings may be cancelled without charge up to 2 hours before the scheduled collection time. Cancellations made within 2 hours of collection may be subject to a cancellation fee equivalent to 50% of the agreed service charge.
We reserve the right to cancel a booking at any time where we are unable to fulfil the service due to circumstances beyond our control. In such cases, any payment received will be refunded in full.
