What if there is a problem with my order?

Problems are rare when ordering from Platemates but if you're not satisfied simply ring and tell us and we will put things right.

I want to sell my stock - how does Platemates arrange collection and payment?

If we agree to buy your stock you can either deliver it yourself or, for a slightly reduced amount, we can arrange collection. If collection is arranged we will pay one third of the agreed amount as a deposit. You will pack the goods (we will give advice on the best way to do this) ready for collection by a national carrier company. As soon as they have been received and checked by Platemates you will receive the balance of the money.
