Can you bring my delivery inside the building?

Pallet deliveries are a kerb side delivery service only. Due to the nature of our products, it is unsafe for our drivers to:

• Manoeuvre deliveries up/down stairs or via a lift
• Carry goods through a building
• Unload the goods from the pallet

How will my order arrive?

The majority of orders are delivered on a pallet - please advise us at the time of ordering if a pallet delivery is unsuitable. We are unable to take pallets away once a delivery has been made, and ask you to kindly dispose of these yourself.

Subject to the above, our Couriers will make every effort to deliver your order according to your requirements.
