When Will My Order Arrive?
Simply select the exact day you wish your order to arrive at the final checkout stage, and we will schedule it for then.
Only the delivery dates available will be shown – it’s that simple. Standard delivery days are Monday to Friday and you can select your day from as early as 2 working days after your order, or up to three weeks in advance.
Being a standard pallet delivery service, your order will arrive some time between the hours of 9am – 6pm on your chosen day and we are not able to provide an estimated time of arrival, although drivers often call ahead to state they are on their way – please ensure the phone number you enter is the best number for the driver to contact you on.
We recommend someone be available all day to receive the delivery, however the driver will leave your order somewhere safe where possible if no-one is present.
What happens after I place my order?
We put your order together in our warehouse and arrange for the nationwide pallet distribution network TPN (The Pallet Network) to collect from us and deliver to your property using a local member near to your.
How will my order be delivered?
Important – please read the below section carefully. It is important to understand the limitations involved in delivering our sleepers.
Under normal circumstances your order will be delivered on an 18t vehicle with a tail-lift – the driver will unload your order with a pallet pump truck and place it where you request where possible. You do NOT need to assist the driver, 100% guaranteed.
The vehicle requires clearances of 3M (10ft) in width and 5m (17ft) in height to access your property (this includes overhanging branches etc). If you have an extremely narrow road or difficult access, we recommend calling us beforehand to check if we can deliver to your home. We will be honest and recommend not ordering if we believe your delivery could be problematic.
If you have a gravel drive, an uneven surface or there’s a lip between the road and your driveway, the driver will likely have no choice but to leave the pallet kerbside.
Under no circumstances can we deliver if the vehicle has to park on an incline/decline or hill to off-load – as the goods weigh between 300-950kg, it is impossible to push/pull and unload the pallet off the vehicle due to the increased forces and safety risks involved; the vehicle must be able to park on a flat surface or road to perform a successful delivery.
If unsure, please contact us to discuss further.
The drivers are not authorised to touch or unload any of your items from the pallet itself, nor can they take the pallet away.
Please note we only 100% guarantee kerbside delivery – if delivery is refused on the basis that the driver states delivery can only be made kerbside and you deem that unsuitable, we can refund and return your order however a return cost of £80.00 (per pallet) plus any zone surcharge listed below (per pallet) will be deducted from your total refund. This also applies if there isn’t adequate width and height clearances and the driver is unable to access your property or perform a kerbside delivery due to any restrictions or limitations.
Is a signature required – do I need to be there for delivery?
We understand if you’re not able to be there for delivery, therefore it’s not a requirement. By default, if no-one is present the driver will leave your order in a safe place where possible. The pallet delivery members nor ourselves could be liable should anything happen to your order after delivery.
