Delivery Information

Clear UK delivery expectations for every order, from standard parcels to larger projects.

Delivery Lead Times

Delivery lead times vary depending on the product. Made-to-order / Bespoke items have longer lead times. This will be managed by our operations team and you will be notified with an expected delivery time. Delivery costs to the UK mainland are calculated and displayed at checkout once your delivery address has been entered. For deliveries outside these areas, please contact our sales team before placing your order. Please note: All deliveries exclude mechanical off-loading unless specifically stated and agreed with our operations team.

Assistance

We know that understanding delivery times and what to expect on the day is essential, especially when ordering larger items like water butts, garden sheds, or wheelie bin stores. This page explains our delivery information for UK mainland orders and sets out what you need to do before we arrive. All prices shown on our website include VAT at the current rate. You will see the full delivery cost in your basket before you commit to purchase.

Parcel, Pallet & Specialist Deliveries

Smaller items are shipped via parcel couriers. SCS will liaise delivery options with our customers for orders that exceed parcel courier size and weight limits. Some products require specialist delivery services, which may include: Moffett (Truck mounted forklift) Hiab (Lorry mounted crane) Unless explicitly included in your quotation: Off-loading is the customer’s responsibility. If you require specialist off-loading, this can be arranged at an additional cost. Failed deliveries due to a lack of off-loading facilities may incur extra charges.
