Accepting an Order

All orders are palletised, shrink wrapped and covered on top to ensure all goods are kept safe and secure during transit. Whilst every effort is made to deliver orders in immaculate condition, occasionally problems can occur in transit.

If there are any visible signs of damage to the exterior pallets or cartons, please contact customer service on +44 (0) 161 387 7214 or email [email protected] immediately.

All goods are delivered on trucks; therefore you will need to ensure your desired delivery address has sufficient access for the driver to safely and legally stop to unload the delivery.

The driver is not responsible for decanting pallets, therefore you will need to use your own personal equipment where possible, to accept and take goods into your premises.

Deliveries must be signed for by an adult aged 18 or over.

Failed Deliveries

If our courier attempts delivery, and no one is present to accept, the goods will be returned and held at a local delivering depot where they will await our instruction. On this occasion, please contact customer service on +44 (0) 161 387 7214 or email [email protected]
