Delivery
As a growing company we have had to re-structure our delivery schedules, and will guarantee delivery days from receipt of order. For some customers we have had to extend the time between order and delivery by 24 hours, but our feedback from customers is that they would rather have a guaranteed delivery in 3 days rather than a next-day delivery, which may not happen if we are very busy. The order days and delivery days on this schedule will be able to be adhered to even when we are running at full capacity in the run to Christmas.
Delivery schedules, including bank holiday dates, can be found below. If you have any questions, please contact your Account Manager or Customer Service Team on (0)3452 606060. Alternarively if you have any general enquiries around ordering you can view our ordering or frequently asked questions page.
