It depends on where you are. Orders within the UK are processed very quickly and we aim to despatch orders within 1-2 working days. Once UK orders are despatched, they are usually delivered within 1-2 working days. Deliveries to Scottish Highlands, Islands and other non-mainland UK address may take a 2-4 working days. Overseas deliveries can take anywhere from 7-16 days to be delivered. Delivery details will be provided in your confirmation email.

We offer two different delivery options:

Standard - This service takes 2-3 working days from when we despatch your order from our warehouse. You'll receive a despatch notification e-mail the day that your order is despatched. This will confirm the day that your order will be delivered on and allow you to make the necessary arrangements to ensure you are able to take delivery of your order and have enough time to fully check the goods and do a number count.

Express - This service takes 1 working day from when we despatch your order from our warehouse. You'll receive a despatch notification e-mail the day that your order is despatched. This will confirm the day that your order will be delivered on and allow you to make the necessary arrangements to ensure you are able to take delivery of your order and have enough time to fully check the goods and do a number count.

We use UPN (The Pallet Network) and DPD to delivery most of our orders. UPN will arrive to you on a pallet as a kerbside delivery. DPD can deliver straight to your door. You’ll be asked to select a delivery method during checkout which will provide you with further details.

We use both UPN (The Pallet Network) and DPD to deliver orders all over the world!

Usually orders over £500 or over 90kg are despatched on a pallet and will be delivered by UPN.

Orders under £500 and less than 90kg are despatched in cardboard boxes and will be delivered by DPD.

Please note that we may need to send your order on a pallet if it contains a number of items that may be vulnerable to damage if sent via a courier such as glass jars, drinks, plastic tubs, etc.

As part of the UPN network policy, drivers aren't required to take away your empty pallet and if they do so, they do this at their own discretion.

If you require the empty pallet removing from your premises, we encourage you to liaise with your driver to do so, this is something we are unable to facilitate.

Of course, UPN (The Pallet Network) can be contacted on 0203 883 0779. Please use your order number as your reference. They can provide you with any queries or updates you may have relating to your order.

If you wish to track your pallet, you'll be able to do so via the UPN website @ www.nhdistribution.co.uk.

You have 15 minutes from the moment the driver arrives with your order to do a number count and check the pallet over to ensure you are happy with it. On the unusual occasion that there is an issue with your order, please ensure that you note any damages or shortages on the drivers paperwork, also known as a POD (Proof Of Delivery). Please also ensure that you get photographic evidence of any issues so that we can use this should a claim be started. 

Please note that a claim can take upto 28 days to be processed via both UPN and DPD. Once we start a claim with the transport company, we will make you aware of this and keep you updated along the way. Claims will be settled once the transport company concludes their insurance process and the claim is completed.

Yes, this is required and any notes relating to your order must be clearly stated on here. A POD (Proof Of Delivery) that is just signed is confirmation that the delivery is satistfactory and no claims can be started if this is the case.

To ensure that we despatch all orders as quickly as possible, we upcycle cardboard boxes from our warehouse. These boxes are folded, not taped so please bear this in mind when unloading your pallet. We aim to add no more than 15kg per box. All pallets are shrink wrapped in black film at the sides and top to ensure security but easy to spot any issues should they occur. A copy of your delivery note will be attached to the top for you to check the pallet in.

If you're not available to sign and take delivery of your order, the transport company will take the goods back to their depot and await further instructions from you. Please note that a re-delivery charge of £30 will apply.

If your delivery is coming via DPD, please ensure that you either reschedule the delivery day to suit you or ensure a safe place is selected. Please note that the liability of the parcel is down to yourself should you choose to leave a safe place. DPD are unable to start a claim for any missing parcels that have a safe place selected or as default on your DPD account.
