Delivery Timescales

Deliveries are currently up to 5-10 working days starting from the day after your order. Please note this could be extended by a few days depending on the volume of orders received, especially for orders outside of Edinburgh and East Lothian where our main depots are located. We will contact you by text the day before delivery to confirm your delivery date and expected 2 hour timeslot.

Our Local Delivery Area

Local deliveries are made from the roadside into the property using a vehicle fitted with a crane. The crane’s reach is approximately 3 – 4 meters and in most cases can lift over an obstacle such as a fence or hedge that is up to 6 ft tall if the vehicle can park directly next to it

We do not require any one to be present at the time of delivery but please provide a good description in the delivery notes where you would like the goods delivered to. If you require the goods to be lifted into a fenced/walled area someone will likely need to be present to unhitch the bags once it is lifted over and lowered to the ground.

Please be aware we are unable to park on double yellow lines to unload the vehicle. If you have specific access requirements such as gates or via a rear lane for example, please contact us to discuss before ordering so we can send the appropriate vehicle to suit your delivery.

National Pallet Delivery Service

If you are located outside of the local and extended delivery areas we will deliver to you using an external courier for the national pallet delivery service with 1 builder bag per pallet. These delivery vehicles are NOT fitted with a crane to unload, unloading of the pallet is done so by means of a rear tail lift and manual pallet trolley, for this reason deliveries can ONLY be made to smooth surfaced areas i.e. monoblock driveways, pavements or roads. The pallet trolley is unable to cross uneven rough ground or gravel. If delivery is attempterd and cannot be delivered when it arrives we cannot refund the delivery charge. If you are unsure please check with us befiore ordering.

Please note once the bulk bags are on the ground they cannot be moved and we do not assist in the emptying of the bag. We DO NOT carry bags manually into your property.

Deliveries outside of our local & extended delivery areas will be made using the national pallet delivery service at a bespoke rate depending on your location.
