Delivery

Argyll customers please note that delivery can be up to 5 days past the target date due to the pallet courier chain involved

Kerbside Tail Lift Delivery ONLY

Highland Deliveries: Please note we don’t charge more for Highland deliveries but they do carry a different service. Because of the sparse nature of the habitation, the delivery routes do not necessarily coincide with your target delivery date. They can arrive up to 2 days before or after your target date. We request that the delivery partner book in with you, but we are aware this is not always possible as they are unable to get an answer on the phone. As stated elsewhere, you do not need to attend the delivery as long as the delivery point is clear and accessible.

All Firewood Deliveries: Your delivery will be made via Freightroute/Palletforce and the driver will offload by lowering a platform to the ground and then pulling the pallet to the kerb. We do not use cranes to offload. If you have a hard standing and relatively flat drive, not too far from the kerb then this may be a possible drop point. Please note that a pallet truck will only operate on smooth hard standing ground and will not run over gravel, soft ground or up slopes.

We will advise your delivery day in advance via email and its preferred that someone can accept delivery, but this is not essential. If no one can be there to accept you can help by indicating your preferred drop point. Please note that your preferred drop point must be within the restraints of pallet truck offload.

If you intend to take leave from work to accept delivery please contact us 48 hours in advance of your delivery date to confirm details. Our delivery partners do not guarantee a delivery day or time so please take this into account when taking leave to accept a delivery.

Always remember that someone has to be the last delivery of the day as our delivery partners operate up to 18:00. We do ask the drivers to call in advance and this is at the discretion of the driver. When ordering it helps to give us a mobile number and a landline, the more phone numbers the better!
