We offer Free Standard Delivery via a single-driver service. Your order will arrive on a vehicle approximately the size of a fire engine. If your location has limited access, such as narrow roads, low bridges, or tight driveways, please inform us in advance so we can plan accordingly.
The delivery vehicle is equipped with a tail lift, allowing the driver to safely lower your palletised goods. Each order is securely packed onto a pallet and maneuvered with a pallet truck. While the driver will bring it as close as possible to your property, the pallet truck requires a solid, level surface to operate. It cannot be moved over gravel, steps, steep inclines, or uneven terrain. Please ensure there is at least a 1-metre-wide clear access point for the pallet.
Important: Our delivery drivers are not insured to unpack goods or move items inside your home.
Additional Items: Fitting Kits and Liner Packs may arrive separately via courier, often on the same day.
Delivery Times & Scheduling
If an item is marked as “7 to 10 day delivery,” this is the fastest available timeframe, excluding weekends. When placing your order, you’ll be prompted to select your preferred delivery date. Please note that offshore deliveries require additional transit time; we’ll contact you directly to confirm arrangements.
Deliveries are scheduled for weekdays only (Monday to Friday), typically between 9:00 AM and 6:00 PM.
⚠️ Do not schedule tradespeople (e.g., plumbers, fitters, or contractors) until you have received your delivery in full. While we aim to deliver on time, unexpected delays can occur, and we want to help you avoid unnecessary disruption or costs.
