DELIVERY UPDATE
Due to unprecedented pallet volumes within the entire UK pallet network, some areas of the UK are seeing disruption to pallet delivery timeframes. This is an issue impacting all pallet delivery couriers - including ones used by the bathroom industry - because of increased volumes, driver shortages, COVID-19 and Brexit-related challenges.
As a result,
Next Day Pallet Delivery is currently unavailable within some areas across the South West. This is an issue currently impacting a small area and we're working hard to deliver your order as quickly as possible.
In addition, there are also delays to some postcodes in the North East, the Midlands, Scotland and on the South Coast that will increase delivery time.
Expect delays of up to 1 week in postcodes beginning with PA, PH, G, FK and KA in Scotland, and PL1-35, 95 / TQ7,8 & 10 / TR1-27 on the South Coast.
Our next day delivery service is currently delayed and is taking approximately 2 days in postcodes beginning with G1-4, 9-31,33-40,51-70, 80-90/ FK4,6,7,8,9,15-21/KA27,28/PA1-19,20-38,41-49,60-78,80/ PH42-44KA 1-26, 29,30/G77,78,79/ FK1-21, CV21-23, 31-34,47 / LE16-17/ OX15-17, CA, CB6.7, 24, 25 /NR19-23/ PE11-16, 30-38.

Courier (Medium Items)
Our delivery providers are currently using a new contactless delivery process to help minimise any contact between parties. The means customers will no longer be asked to sign for their orders. Instead, the delivery driver will take a photo of the parcel being dropped off at the delivery point. This will now form proof of delivery until further notice.
Pallet Deliveries
Our kerbside delivery drivers will continue to leave your delivery pallets outside of your address. In addition to this, they will also remain at least 2 meters away from you or anyone in your property to ensure there is no unnecessary direct or close contact between drivers and customers.
Diamond Delivery Service
Our premium two person delivery service will be temporarily changing to offer an over the threshold service. This includes delivering to garages, outbuildings or to your doorstep. Contactless delivery will be in place with the driver photographing the delivery at its drop off point. Additionally, Saturday delivery service and the packaging removal service have both been suspended. These are temporary measures to help prevent the spread and to keep unnecessary contact to a minimum.
For all delivery types, we will continue to adapt our service in line with government guidance. Please continue to check back for regular delivery updates.
Whatever products you've ordered from us, you'll enjoy a fantastic delivery service to suit your budget and busy schedule.
