Delivery Terms

You agree and understand by ticking this box that your order is subject to the following terms & conditions.

Delivery is by tail lift heavy goods vehicle up to 18 Tonnes & you must have access for a vehicle of this size.
Your order arrives on a pallet, the pallet is maneuvered via a pump truck.

It is a kerbside delivery only, we do not offer a log stacking service.

The delivery driver can and may use his/her discretion as to where your order is placed.

Please only place your order if you are happy that you are liable to move your order from kerbside.

The pump truck can only be maneuvered on a smooth surface e.g Tarmac driveway or path.
You confirm that the area and road is also flat and not a steep incline. A full pallet of wood is 800KG and any incline will make this very difficult for a delivery driver to move on their own.

You agree the surface is suitable and is NOT any of the following;
Gravel, cobbles, any gradients, kerbs or large lips or edges.

The width of your palletised order is 1.2m wide by 1.2m long and access to your delivery area will accommodate this.

The pallet is non returnable and is your to keep.

If the delivery driver cannot complete the delivery due to any of the unsuitable conditions mentioned above or a refused delivery by you “the customer”, we will not be liable for the failed delivery. You agree that you are liable to pay for any failed delivery charges (£50)
We will happily refund the order to you minus £50 delivery and administration charges.

PLEASE ONLY ORDER IF YOU FULLY ACCEPT THE TERMS OF DELIVERY
