Orders placed after 14.00 will be collected the following day for delivery in 2 working days. Customers will receive a confirmation email to the address provided confirming the delivery date. If for any reason this date should not be suitable please contact Ningbo Distribution (https://www.ningbodistribution.co.uk) on Tel: 01978 788621 and inform them immediately. Any changes to your delivery date must be notified by minimum of 24hrs before the date in your confirmation email to avoid a re-delivery charge. See Delivery Terms. Pallet deliveries will arrive on a vehicle equipped with a tail lift and pump truck. Orders are off loaded to ground level and wheeled a short distance over hard standing ground (like concrete or tarmac) to the desired destination.

If your delivery address has restricted access (like narrow lanes) please indicate that you require your delivery in a 7.5 tonne lorry by ticking the check box on the product page. If access may be restricted by low trees or soft/uneven ground please enter details in the text box. Customers will be charged a re-delivery fee if the vehicle is unable to access the delivery address, please make sure you select the right box!! If your unsure call our office to discuss.

Be aware that due to the height of our pallets on some occasion the top layer may be removed for loading onto the smaller vehicle, therefore some bales will need to be hand-balled off and the top protective sheet will need re-wrapping/tucking in for protection if storing outside.
