If you have any specific delivery requirements or any questions over the access to the delivery location then please contact our delivery team via the contact us section of our website. We will always endeavour to accommodate your needs.
In certain circumstances we may use a pallet courier to deliver your order in which case you should be prepared to accept a palletised delivery. The driver will attempt to deliver the pallet to your front door, but in some cases, this may not be possible and they will make the delivery as close as possible (Kerb side). Please do inform us if you have a gravel driveway or restricted access to help us to ensure the smooth delivery of your order.
If you have any questions please do contact us and will try and find the most suitable delivery service for your location where possible.
