Home Delivery

We are a business-to-business supplier so our delivery companies are not home delivery specialists. This means that they cannot give a delivery time or call in advance and they require someone to be present to sign for the goods.

Damages

Our delivery drivers & carriers take care with your deliveries. In the unlikely event that outer packaging appears damaged in any way please inspect the goods while the driver waits. If goods are damaged, sign for as "damaged" and contact us. Claims for damages or shortages must be made within 3 days.
