Ordering Keylite Blinds
Our Internal Sales Department is a team of professionally trained, responsive advisors who deliver quality services to our customers and Area Sales Managers. Each Keylite ASM has an Internal Sales Advisor to support them directly, known as our ‘buddy’ system. Typically, an Internal Advisor will oversee two areas across the UK, assisting with sales orders and customers managed by their relevant external representatives.

If a customer raises a query with a specific order, they may quote their ‘RSSO’ number. This is the unique reference generated for every window order processed. Your internal advisor will be able to quickly identify any order in question using this reference.
Alternatively, the external document number can be used to trace an order. This is the purchase reference provided by the customer.
Sales orders from Keylite stockists are eligible for Next Working Day delivery when ordered by 12pm.
A common customer query is ‘What discounts are we entitled to?’
Discounts will vary depending on the product or whether an order is being delivered into their yard or going direct to site. Many of our customers are part of specific buying groups, their terms will be consistent for all companies within each group.
By contacting your internal advisor they can quickly identify any customer account to source their level of authorised discount.
Your internal advisor will also be able to inform you which accounts are obliged to pay carriage fees as well as their individual terms & conditions.
A Goods Return Note is raised when goods have been requested to be collected and credited.
GRNs are processed in circumstances where goods are delivered damaged, the customer has cancelled or no longer requires their order. Any damages must be reported within 48 hours along with photographic evidence in order for a GRN to be approved.
Keylite / Customer Fault
In circumstances where Keylite is at fault, all goods are collected immediately and credited in full. A replacement, chargeable order is then processed if required.
When the customer is at fault, the process will vary depending on the products being returned. Firstly, we must establish if they are returning standard or nonstandard stock items.
Standard Items
The customer at fault will be subject to a 25% restocking charge. This is negotiable upon the condition of the products, fault and costs incurred from delivery, collection and repairs etc.
Non-Standard Items
The GRN will be passed to our Supply Chain Manager to investigate an appropriate restocking charge required to recover costs. Not all made to order goods can always be returned.
