DELIVERY
Goods Availability
Within the individual variants on our website, the stock available and unsold is shown by coloured text. “In stock” in green shows the item being available to purchase, “Currently out of stock but available for back order” in blue.
New order requirements are subject to this stock remaining unsold, the quantity ordered will be confirmed at checkout. Stock availability is kept as up to date as possible but there may be timing/synchronisation differences between basket and checkout.
Some products may be “Manufactured to Order” this will be clearly shown next to the product, the delivery date for these items will be advised at the point an order is confirmed/accepted.
Other products may not be stocked by us, but they are “Ordered on Request” from our suppliers. Again, the delivery date for these items will be advised at the point an order is confirmed/accepted.
We don’t accept responsibility for any issues caused by the reduced or non-availability of products.
Delivery Services
All orders are despatched using well known parcel and haulage services. For single and multiple boxes, we use services from DPD, Parcelforce and Tuffnells. Pallet deliveries are handled by the Palletline network. Those for Northern Ireland and Ireland are handled by Bullet Express and their local agents. All offer a wide range of next working day and Saturday services, both with timed options.
Most providers offer email notifications and or phone-based apps often advising 1-hour windows for delivery or alternative options. These vary for each courier/haulier.
Courier Delivery Services
Carriage charges are calculated based on size and weight. From time to time couriers/hauliers may also apply a fuel scale surcharge. Timed and tail lift delivery options add additional costs. The costs and availability of these options is shown at the checkout stage on our website, prior to payment.
Next day delivery services cannot be guaranteed due to events beyond our control (traffic delays, accidents, weather, road closures, etc). However, over 98% of consignments are delivered next day. If we become aware of any delays, we will communicate these to you.
We cannot accept responsibility for items lost in transit on UNTRACKED services. For example, Royal Mail standard 1st Class is NOT a tracked service. We would strongly recommend selecting a tracked shipping service for all orders.
Additional charges may apply for deliveries to Isle of Man, Isle of Wight, Scottish Highlands & Islands and Channel Islands may apply (Dependent on area and postcode) and for items that are of irregular dimensions and weight (IDW). This applies to long or heavy items where courier options are limited. Full details will be shown at checkout.
Please note that most courier/haulier deliveries (business addresses) will be made between approx. 8.30am and 5.30pm. For 1-hour window time slots such as DPD, you will receive an email or text message from the courier on the day of delivery confirming the delivery details.
Please ensure you are available to receive the delivery as no items will be left without a signature or confirmed delivery. If the delivery can’t be accepted the courier/haulier may leave a card or photograph that the premises are closed. This card will contain details of how you can rearrange delivery. Re-delivery options vary between providers and may come with an additional cost or you may have to collect in person from their nearest depot.
Please inspect the goods prior to signing for delivery. If you can see any damage whatsoever to the packaging sign for the goods as damaged. We/our delivery providers must be notified of any damages or shortages within 24 hours of delivery. Goods signed for as being unexamined can’t be accepted any damages to the packaging of the goods must be notified on receipt to allow us to meet the claim requirements of the corresponding courier/haulier.
