Free UK Mainland Delivery: Our free delivery applies to the vast majority of the UK Mainland. We do our utmost to try and provide free delivery, however there are some areas that may attract an additional delivery surcharge. The postcodes affected will vary across products.

What size is the delivery vehicle? The vehicles are usually flatbed lorries about the same size of a Dustbin cart. Please ensure you advise us if there are any access issues to your property. There are occasions when our manufacturer can arrange for a smaller vehicle.
Will the Driver require help unloading? No, the drivers will not request any help with the unloading of your order.
Will I need to sign for my order? We would prefer if you were present to sign for your order as this would allow you to check the product is what you ordered and to allow you a quick cursory check of the product. If you will not be available on the day of delivery you will need to either email us confirming that your order can be left and that you accept liability or you can leave a signed and dated note in a prominent position for the driver advising that the order can be left and that you accept liability. In both instances your order can only be delivered kerbside. (ie a safe location adjacent to the main roadway, but off any public highways).
If I order more than one item will they be delivered at the same time? As we use different manufacturers who have many warehouses when ordering more than one item this may mean that the items are delivered at different times. Generally if you order from the same branded name these will arrive at the same time but if they are different branded names they will be separate deliveries. On the product page and during the checkout stage you’ll be supplied with the information on how the product you’ve ordered will be delivered.
Can I have a different delivery address to the billing address? Yes, we understand that there are occasions that this needs to happen.
I want to order now but do not want by delivery within the timescales quoted? We can postpone your delivery date. You’re able to do this at the time of order or you can drop us an email once you have ordered. You will find that with most of our products you are in control of your own delivery date.
Will the driver take my order through my property? Sorry, the driver is not insured to take your order through your property.
My order has not arrived and the delivery timescales has passed? Please contact us straight away. A manufacturing or delivery issue may exist of which we're unaware.
