Delivery
UK Mainland
UK Mainland delivery cost for all orders - £15.00
Some heavy goods may require delivery charges, this is included either in the displayed price or we will work out the extra cost and inform you.
Some areas of Scotland, N Ireland, the Isle of Man & the Isle of Wight will need extra carriage. Delivery is usually via Business Post or Royal Mail but on occasions when the product is shipped directly from our suppliers an alternate means of delivery may be employed. At this time we are unable to ship to Jersey and Guernsey, but if you are still interested in purchasing a product we can arrange for the item to be delivered to a mainland address where you can make arrangements for delivery. We are unable to deliver to PO or BFPO boxes.
Delivery Schedule
90% of deliveries are dispatched overnight if the order is placed by lunchtime the day before. If the item is not stocked or is a special order these are dispatched up to 28 working days from order depending on the goods.
Special delivery instructions may be left for example if the item is a gift or delivery is needed before a certain date. We are unable to instruct our Couriers, Business Post to leave a package without signature. If you instruct us to leave your goods without signature, i.e. an unattended delivery, the responsibility falls on you to ensure a safe delivery site. We will not be held responsible for lost items if your delivery instructions have been passed to our carrier. For all above ground pools especially wooden pools, we require that you ensure an able bodied person meet and assist with the delivery. If you need to arrange that a delivery is made and are unable to sign for the goods please contact us on 01268 769922.
If delivery is attempted 3 times by our carriers, and delivery has failed, the goods will be returned to us, and an additional charge will apply for re-delivery. If you decide you no longer require the goods after a failed delivery attempt, there will be a minimum £20 administration charge deducted from any refund to cover shipping & handling.
If your order includes a spare item which we may have to specially order in, your order may be put on hold until all products ordered have arrived with us and then will immediately be put on a next day delivery.
