Deliveries are to the Kerbside only.

In the event of any kerbside damages, this must be recorded immediately at the time with the driver and then dealt with directly with the delivery company.

Once dispatched, delivery consignments cannot be changed (e.g. different delivery date or different delivery address) as this creates a new consignment. If you require a change to the delivery date or location, this can be arranged with our team, but you will be liable for the full cost of the new consignment.

Deliveries are carried out by a third party delivery company.
