Delivery Info

 

Why am I only being offered 'Trade Counter Collection' as a delivery address?

Probably because you have a 'collection only' item in your basket - these include:

  • Glass
  • Mirrors
  • Single sheets of backing board
  • 'Nil Glass' cleaning spray.

Unfortunately these items cannot be despatched safely or economically.

 

Which carriers do you use?


DPD for most items, or Tuffnells for orders containing mouldings or heavy items.

 

 

 

What are your minimum orders?


  • As a trade supplier, our minimum despatch order value is £30 ex. VAT
  • The value of any mouldings in your basket must be at least £50 ex. VAT, to ensure the order is big enough to make into a sturdy parcel.
  • If you are ordering mountboard, you must order at least 20 sheets, to ensure we can fill one of our special despatch cartons so the boards get to you in good condition.
  • Foam centre boards must be ordered in full box quantities.

Can you give a delivery time / date?

 

When giving us a delivery address, consider that the carriers assume your premises are clearly marked and open 9-5.30 pm. If not, you can give us an alternative delivery address or ask for delivery on a specific day. We cannot specify a delivery time in advance.

 

We cannot accept any liability in the case of failure by the carriers to deliver on any specified day.

 

If your delivery is via our main carrier DPD, they should automatically send you an email with details to allow you to track your order online.


You can contact them to change the delivery day. Once your goods have been loaded, they tracking details will also display an estimated one-hour delivery window.

 

If you are waiting for an urgent delivery and cannot get enough info from online tracking, call us soon after midday and we'll check progress. If you have received notification of a delivery window, allow an extra 30 minutes for unforeseen delays
