Our last orders can be sent out Friday afternoon and our first order of the week, Monday afternoon, we do not send items on the weekends but we are available if you need to speak to someone in the shop on Saturdays. We will email you when you place your order to let you know your estimated delivery date and then another email will let you know your tracking number.

Most items we send need to be signed for, and you, or a nominated person must be available to sign for it. If delivery is attempted, but no one was available to sign for it, a card will be left for you by the delivery driver and you can call to arrange another time the driver can deliver the item.

WEEE Regulations

The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive is now UK law. The legislation aims to make producers pay for the collection, treatment and recovery of waste electrical equipment. The regulations also mean that suppliers of equipment like high street shops and internet retailers must allow consumers to return their waste equipment free of charge.   

The amount of WEEE we throw away is increasing by around 5% each year, making it the fastest growing waste stream in the UK.

•  Much of the UK 's WEEE ends up in landfill, where the lead and other toxins it contains can cause soil and water contamination. This can have a harmful effect on natural habitat, wildlife and also human health.   

•  Many electrical items that we throw away can be repaired or recycled. Recycling items helps to save our natural finite resources and also reduces the environmental and health risks associated with sending electrical goods to landfill.

Distributors of new Electric and Electronic Equipment (EEE) have a part to play in reducing the amount of WEEE going into landfill sites.   Brighton Sewing Centre is obliged under these regulations to offer our customers free take-back of their WEEE on a like-for-like basis when they buy a new Electrical or Electronic product from us.   

For example, if a customer bought a new sewing machine from us we would accept their old sewing machine and prevent it going into a landfill site by disposing of it safely.

Customers must return their WEEE item to us within 28 days of purchasing their new item.  

Under the WEEE Regulations, all new electrical goods should now be marked with the crossed-out wheeled bin symbol.

Goods are marked with this symbol to show that they were produced after 13th August 2005, and should be disposed of separately from normal household waste so that they can be recycled.
