PALLET COLLECTION AND DELIVERY SERVICES

Next Day

Next Day consignments entered before 11.30 am will be collected the same working day (or the next working day if goods need to be palletised). Orders entered after 11.30 am will be collected the next working day. Next Day deliveries will be made the following working day after collection. This service is available to the majority of mainland UK (excluding the Scottish Highlands). We also offer a range of premium service options including:

AM Deliveries (Delivered before 12:00)

Timed Deliveries (You specify what time you want your pallet(s) to be delivered, ideal for booked-in consignments and/or added convenience)

Saturday Deliveries (Delivered before 12:00 on a Saturday)
Please note that we are unable to give approximate collection/delivery times for consignments on a standard Next Day service.

Normal delivery hours are 9 am to 5pm, Monday - Friday.

Deliveries outside of the normal delivery window can be arranged for an additional charge of £30 per consignment.
Economy
Economy consignments will be collected within two working days and delivered within three working days of collection. This service is available to all parts of the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland.

Normal delivery hours are 9 am to 5 , Monday - Friday.

Please note that we are unable to give approximate collection/delivery dates or times for consignments on an Economy service.
Economy (Specified Day)

For your convenience, you can specify a preferred day of collection as any date on or after the second working day following the placement of your Economy order. A preferred delivery date can also be specified as any date on or after the third working day following collection. These details are simply added to the further information' fields when placing the order.

Whilst our standard Economy service can be faster, the Specified Day Economy option is ideal if you prefer to have pre-specified collection/delivery dates. There is no difference in cost between the two options.

ADDITIONAL SERVICE OPTIONS

Our Tail-Lift Service

Our tail-lift service is ideal for residential addresses and businesses that don't have a fork-lift truck to load and unload goods delivered on pallets.
Where a tail-lift is requested, the vehicle will be equipped with a pallet truck (a manually operated hydraulic lifting trolley) which lifts the pallet a couple of inches off the ground enabling it to be wheeled to the vehicle's rear tail-lift. The tail-lift is then raised to the level of the vehicle's deck by an electric motor, so that the pallet can be wheeled into the vehicle.
A tail-lift service is available on collection and/or delivery, and there is no extra charge for this service.

Our Palletising Service

For an additional £12 + vat, we can provide an empty pallet on collection.

The goods to be palletised must be securely packaged and protected for transport prior to collection. We are unable to package goods for transport; all we are doing is placing the item(s) on a pallet base and wrapping with shrink-wrap. Damage to goods not securely packaged or protected for transport may not be covered by our insurance.

The collecting driver has the right to refuse to collect if he deems the item unfit or unsafe for transport.

This is ideal for one-off shipments of heavy or bulky items or multiple item consignments which it may not be practical, possible or cost-effective to send as large parcels.

There is a 70 kg limit for each single item that needs to be palletised and a maximum of 50 items: It is important that the goods can be manually lifted and secured to the pallet in a timely manner.

The driver may help to secure the item(s) to the pallet.
