Sending an appliance: what you need to know before sending

What to check before you send an appliance, and how installation and delivery work once your recipient claims it.

An appliance voucher delivers one specific item to your recipient’s door. You pick the item before you send, and your recipient enters their own delivery address when they open the link.


When to use an appliance voucher

Appliance vouchers cover two categories. White Goods is washing machines, fridges and cookers. Furniture and Home Goods is furniture, home bundles, and small electricals such as kettles and microwaves. The sender picks the specific item from the catalogue at the point of sending, the recipient enters their own delivery address when they open the link, and the courier handles the rest.

Unlike most other Huggg Payouts products, appliance vouchers are tied to a specific item rather than a value. One voucher equals one delivery of the item you’ve chosen.


Cost

The price shown on the platform for each item includes UK mainland delivery and 20% VAT.

White goods include installation. That covers washing machines, fridges and cookers. Installation is part of the price you see, not a separate charge you add.

Where removal of your recipient’s existing item is available, you’ll see an option to add it and the price will adjust.


How it works

  1. You pick the item. Go to the appliance section of the platform, browse the catalogue (White Goods, Furniture and Home Goods), and select the type of item. For items with options, you’ll then see variants, such as a different size, or the same item with removal of your recipient’s old item added. Installation is already included on white goods. Pick the variant that fits.

  2. You send the link. The recipient receives a Huggg link by email, text, or letter, as with any other Huggg product.

  3. The recipient enters their own delivery address. When they open the link, they enter their delivery details. You don’t need to know their address.

  4. The courier arranges delivery directly with the recipient. Huggg’s supply partner ATS (Advanced Total Supplies) contacts the recipient to arrange a delivery date and time.

  5. Installation happens at the delivery. On white goods, the delivery team will unpack the new item, install it in its final position, and take the packaging away. If you chose removal, they will also take your recipient’s existing item away for recycling.

Pre-send checklist

Before you send an appliance voucher, confirm:

  • You’ve picked the right item type and variant (with or without removal)

  • Your recipient lives in UK mainland

  • Your recipient understands they’ll be asked to enter a delivery address when they open the link

  • Your recipient knows the courier (ATS) will be in touch to arrange a delivery date, and that missed deliveries can incur a re-delivery fee (see below)

  • If you’re sending a white good, your recipient knows installation is part of the order and goes ahead on the delivery day

What to know

One voucher, one item. Appliance vouchers are tied to a specific item and a specific delivery. They cannot be split, exchanged for a different item, or partially redeemed.

Recipient enters their own delivery address. You don’t need to collect or pass on the recipient’s address. They enter it themselves when they open the link, which keeps the data with them.

Installation is included on all white goods. Washing machines, fridges and cookers always come with installation, and its cost is built into the price you see. Removal of the existing item is a separate option you can add. The platform shows what’s available for each item.

Installation cannot be turned down. Installation is part of every white goods order. The delivery team will fit the item when they deliver it.

If your recipient turns installation away, the team cannot complete the delivery and will take the item back. Huggg will then refund the order to your Huggg wallet, minus the delivery cost, which varies by item.

Tell your recipient to expect installation, so the delivery goes ahead first time.

£59.99 missed delivery fee. If the recipient isn’t present at their agreed delivery date and time, a re-delivery fee of £59.99 (inc. VAT) is charged to the sender. Make sure your recipient knows to keep their delivery slot or rearrange it in advance with ATS.

Refunds for undeliverable orders. If the courier can’t deliver (for example, the address is deemed a health and safety risk), Huggg will contact you to arrange a refund of the order to your Huggg wallet. Where costs have already been incurred, for example a technician attending, Huggg will explain any deduction at that point.

Once delivered, the order can’t be cancelled. If your recipient has received their item, the voucher is fully redeemed and refunds aren’t available.
