Delivery times

Delivery times are usually Monday to Friday (excluding Bank Holidays) 7.00am - 6pm. You may also be given a choice of times, e.g. AM (7.00am - 1pm) or PM (12pm - 6pm). Saturday deliveries are usually made between 7.00am - 3pm.

The exact delivery dates available for your order will depend on the delivery address and time you place the order. You will be shown a list of available delivery dates to pick from during the checkout process, after you have entered your delivery address.

We've made it easier

If there's no one at home when we call round, in most cases we can leave items with a neighbour or in a safe place. If so, we'll let you know during the checkout process and you'll be able to provide some special delivery instructions. We'll also leave a card to let you know where to pick up your items from or let you know your options for having it re-delivered.

Remember, you can also specify a different delivery address while ordering and have your order delivered to your workplace, a friend's place, etc.

Please note that if your order is made up of a combination of items / delivery services,
deliveries may be made separately.

Delivery times

For all of the above, the delivery dates available for your order will depend on your order details:

  • If all of your goods are in stock at our regional warehouse, you will be given a list of delivery dates and times to pick from during the checkout process, after you've entered your delivery address.
  • If some of your goods are not already in our regional warehouse, a customer service agent will contact you to arrange delivery as soon as the goods are ready to be dispatched.

Usually, we can offer morning (7am - 12 noon), midday (10am - 2pm) and afternoon (12 noon - 6pm) delivery slots, although this will vary depending on the product. Please note that all large items will require a signature for delivery.

As an added bonus, most of these items can usually be delivered to the room of your choice - so no shifting of heavy furniture around! Don't forget to measure doorways, hallways and staircases prior to delivery to make sure your products will fit.

See the additional information section below for more details.
