Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about ordering, delivery, VAT, mixed sizes, bulk quotes and repeat supply from TC Medcare Supplies.

Is there a minimum order?

There is no set minimum for standard online orders — you can order from a single box. For larger requirements, typically 50 or more boxes, requesting a bulk quote allows us to confirm availability and discuss pricing appropriate to your order volume.

Do you provide VAT invoices?

Yes. A VAT invoice is issued for all online orders. TC Medcare Supplies is a VAT-registered business (VAT Number: GB477972328). If you need documentation in a specific format for your organisation, contact us before ordering.

Are prices shown excluding VAT?

Yes. All prices on this website are shown excluding VAT (Excl. VAT) unless otherwise stated. VAT at the standard UK rate of 20% is added at checkout. Your VAT-inclusive total is shown on your order confirmation and VAT invoice.

What delivery options are available?

We deliver within the United Kingdom only. Delivery is calculated at checkout based on your order subtotal excluding VAT: under £100 Excl. VAT — £9.99 delivery; £100 to £149.99 Excl. VAT — £4.99 delivery; £150 or more Excl. VAT — free delivery.

How does free delivery over £150 Excl. VAT work?

Orders with a product subtotal of £150 or more (excluding VAT) qualify for free delivery. The delivery charge is calculated automatically at checkout before payment. Mixed-product orders — for example, gloves and aprons together — count towards the £150 threshold.

Can I request a bulk quote?

Yes. For larger or repeat orders, use our bulk quote request form. Provide your product requirements, sizes, quantities, delivery postcode, and whether you need recurring supply. We aim to respond within 24 hours with pricing and availability.

Can I order mixed sizes?

Yes. Add each size to your basket separately — for example, if you need size M and size L of the same product, add each size individually before proceeding to checkout. For bulk orders across different sizes, sites or departments, requesting a bulk quote may be more practical. See our How to Order guide for a full walkthrough.

What is the difference between nitrile and vinyl gloves?

Nitrile gloves offer stronger puncture resistance, a closer fit, and better chemical resistance than vinyl. They are Latex-Free and generally preferred for healthcare, cleaning, food handling and professional environments. Vinyl gloves are cost-effective and suited to routine hygiene, light-duty tasks and food handling where a lower-cost option is appropriate. See our Glove Comparison Guide for a full side-by-side comparison.

Do you supply care homes, clinics, cleaning teams and workplace buyers?

Yes. TC Medcare Supplies works with care providers, care agencies, clinics, private hospitals, cleaning contractors, facilities teams, food handling environments, beauty and tattoo studios, procurement departments and other professional buyers. We support both direct online orders and bulk quote enquiries.

Can I request product documentation?

Yes. Datasheets and compliance documents are available for many products and can be downloaded directly from individual product pages. If you need documentation before ordering, use our documentation request form and we will confirm what is available for your chosen product. See our compliance page for product-level information.

Can I set up repeat supply?

We support repeat supply enquiries on a quote-led basis. If you need regular delivery of gloves, aprons or other consumables for your team, visit our Repeat Supply page or contact our team with your expected monthly or quarterly volume and we will discuss what options are available.

What should I do if I am unsure which product to choose?

Review our Glove Comparison Guide, which covers all current glove products side by side including material, colour, use case and suitability. You can also contact our team with your intended use case and we will help identify the most appropriate product for your requirements.
