Age Verification

  Pots and Pans take active measures to ensure that customers purchasing knives are of the legal UK age.

By placing an order for a knife on this website you are giving permission for an identity check to be performed to confirm that you are over 18 years of age. In a small number of cases the checks that we carry out are not able to verify the age of some customers. If this applies to you, we will contact you for further information to confirm you are at least 18 years old. If you are not purchasing a knife then an identity check will not be carried out.

 

Recycling & Disposal

What is WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment)?

From 1 July 2007, all retailers of electrical goods must comply with the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) legislation. This is a scheme to prevent all such waste being disposed of in general landfill sites and to promote recycling of components and materials. The legislation aims to minimise the impact of electrical and electronic equipment on the environment by creating products with recycling in mind and encouraging reuse, recycling, and recovery of WEEE.

How do I know what product is on WEEE scheme?

The definition of a WEEE product is one whose primary function is dependent on electrical currents to carry out the main function, e.g. a toaster.

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.

How do I return my old electrical product?

A Take Back Service operates within our stores, whether you purchase in store or online. When you purchase a new electrical item from us you can exchange an old similar item (eg, a toaster for a toaster).

You have 28 days from date of purchase to return the old item to us free of charge. Please contact us for advice on the best method for returning your old item. You may also take the item(s) to your local authority Civic Amenity Site if this is more convenient.
