  2. The supplier may at its discretion deliver the goods by instalments in any sequence.
  3. The Supplier may deliver to the customer and the customer shall accept in satisfaction a lower quantity than the number of goods ordered.
  4. When a lower quantity is delivered a credit will be raised for the missing amount.

  7. For orders weighing over 100kg someone must be in to receive the delivery. If there is no one to receive the delivery please notify us in writing of which working day or alternative delivery address that the products can be delivered to.
  8. The above are guidelines only and are assuming the products are in stock at the time of order.
  9. Any delivery date given by the supplier will be an estimate date only and will endeavour to comply. However the Supplier will be not be responsible for any late delivery.

  11. Goods weighing over 100kg will be delivered by a local nationwide pallet delivery network partner.
  12. For all deliveries made by a courier, so long as you have provided a mobile contact number, you should routinely be sent a text from the courier on the day with a 1 hour time slot for the delivery. This time slot cannot be changed  if there is no answer a card would normally be left in the door asking you to arrange for a redelivery or notifying you of another delivery date. If you are asked to arrange for a redelivery the goods will be held at the local courier company for approximately 3-5 working days at which point they will be returned to us. HOWEVER during Corona Virus trading and with lockdown restrictions DPD are experiencing such a high volume of returns they cannot hold any more in their local depots for re-deliveries until further notice. If you think there is any chance there will be no-one at the location to accept the delivery please add instructions to the customer notes section of the online order form to indicate where the parcels can be safely left. For example you can nominate a neighbour to accept the delivery or for the package to be let in a secure place such as in a porch or garage or otherwise outside the property. Those instructions will then added to the delivery note for the driver. In the absence of alternative delivery instructions, if a delivery is attempted and returned to us and you request a refund rather than paying for delivery again the delivery cost will be deducted from the refund as well as any returns charge made to us by DPD.  
  13. The courier may attempt when possible to leave the delivery with a neighbour
  14. For all deliveries made by the local nationwide pallet delivery network they will attempt to deliver it once only. If there is a secure place to leave the pallet, for example a barn, they will be willing to leave it but the supplier must receive written confirmation from the customer. If the goods are returned to the local depot you could be required to pay a redelivery charge.
  15. Routine Picking time for despatch of an order from the warehouse is normally 2 working days and delivery time standard parcels or economy pallet service up to a further 2 working days.
  16. If you select premium delivery service and your order is received by 10am, the order will normally be despatched from the warehouse the same day for delivery the following day. However during Corona Virus trading and with lockdown restrictions next day deliveries cannot be guaranteed until further notice. 
  17. With pallet service there is a non refundable wooden pallet charge and you will need to make arrangements for disposal of the pallet following the delivery. Please ensure you provide details of any special delivery instructions including opening hours or availability of someone at the location to accept the delivery, any limited or restricted access and whether the lorry needs to be fitted with a tail lift & pallet truck for off loading purposes. We routinely ask the driver to contact you before arrival but this cannot be guaranteed.
