Palletised Deliveries
Our palletised deliveries will be shipped by an independent haulage company using a HGV. When shipped using this method the haulage company will attempt to deliver pallets as close as possible to your main entrance, usually to the closest hard-standing area. The drivers are not contracted to remove items from the pallet, or to carry items into the customer’s property due to their insurance. Clients should warn the Company if there is restricted access, or gravelled driveways etc.
Cast iron radiators and cast iron fireplaces are very heavy items and usually need 2 strong people to move them, the larger radiators may need more.
The customer must make sure there is someone in the house on the agreed delivery date. We can arrange for the courier to call you 1 hour before delivery. Our standard delivery times are between 9am and 5pm for timed, and/or Saturday deliveries which can be arranged at an additional charge contact our office to arrange. The Company reserves the right to charge a redelivery fee should a redelivery be necessary. Cast iron radiators are very heavy, please ensure that there is sufficient manpower to unload the pallet.
Standard Courier Deliveries
We mostly use DHL/UK Mail, DPD and TNT/FedEx for our deliveries. The products we ship using this method are generally able to handled by 1 person. You should be in to take delivery on the agreed date, however if you are out the courier will leave a card for you to contact your local depot to make arrangements.
Please be aware you must inspect the goods for damage prior to signing the delivery notes. If for what reason you are unable to inspect the goods sign the sheet as unchecked.
