Some of our products are heavy and bulky. Items ordered in bulk quantities may be delivered on a pallet and might need to be unloaded with the aid of special equipment such as a fork lift truck, tail lift, pallet truck or with additional manpower.
You will be responsible for all arrangements to unload and store the goods when delivered to you.
Please ensure the delivery area is hard, level and safe to take the weight of a pallet truck carrying up to a maximum of 1 tonne in weight.
Please be aware most of our products are delivered by lorry or large vans and will require appropriate access. Our couriers may not be able to move your goods far from the vehicle and may need assistance when unloading.
You must notify us of any access issues or inability to accept delivery from certain types of vehicle such as side loading trucks when ordering under ‘Special Delivery Instructions’, indicating additional contact details if required.
Please note that our driver will not be able to move your goods far from the vehicle. If your delivery point is on an incline the driver will not be able to push the pallet truck up or down the tail lift whilst on an incline as the pallet could topple.
We cannot deliver onto cobbles, gravel or uneven surfaces. Under those circumstances the pallet will be left at the nearest available safe delivery point.
