Free delivery does not apply to some products that are required to be delivered by pallet to avoid damage. The cost of this is £100 excluding VAT per pallet. Please note that although every effort is made to try and guarantee a next day delivery for orders shipped by pallet. Sometimes it is a two to three day service.
Free delivery also does not apply to some products over 1.19 metre in length. This is due to the additional costs of shipping products of this size.
