Delivery will take place during regular business hours; Monday to Friday. We try our best to accommodate any requests for specific delivery dates but on occasion this may not be possible. We will contact you a day before the actual delivery and give you a morning or afternoon time slot, however, due to circumstances outside our control such as traffic congestion, breakdowns or bad weather, we may not always be able to meet this expectation. You are responsible for answering all calls and voice messages; failure to do so may result in non-delivery.

If goods are in stock we aim to dispatch your order within one to three weeks from receipt of an order. However depending on delivery volumes, this may be quicker. Once you place an order you will be contacted by a member of our sales team to receive an estimated delivery date.
If you order an item that is not in stock a member of our sales staff will contact you giving details on expected delivery times. At this point, you have the option to either cancel your order or wait for delivery. As soon as your goods arrive at our warehouse, we'll get in touch with you to arrange a delivery date and finalise payment.

When delivering the products, our delivery staff will always take reasonable care. If they believe that delivery to the desired location is likely to result in property or product damage, then an alternative room must be agreed with you where possible.
