Changes made with less than 24 hours’ notice may be subject to reasonable additional transport, handling or administration costs where these have already been incurred.

This may include situations where:
No authorised person is available where required.

The delivery address is incorrect or incomplete.
The unloading location is unsafe or unsuitable.
There is insufficient space for the delivery vehicle.
The customer refuses correctly supplied goods without a lawful reason.

Trade and business orders
Trade or business orders may be subject to a failed delivery, return or redelivery charge of up to 30% of the affected order value where this reasonably reflects the costs incurred.

Unloading, Private Property and Packaging
Private property
Where you ask or permit a delivery vehicle to enter private land, a driveway or another area beyond the public highway, this is subject to the driver being satisfied that it is safe and suitable.
The customer is responsible for identifying hidden drains, weak surfaces, underground services, soft ground, restricted areas or other hazards.
We will not be responsible for damage resulting from undisclosed weaknesses or hazards at the property, except where caused by our negligence or where liability cannot lawfully be excluded.
Unloading assistance
Some delivery vehicles are not equipped with crane or mechanical offloading equipment. Depending on the products ordered, suitable assistance may be required.
Customers should not enter the vehicle, operate delivery equipment or assist with unloading unless specifically instructed by the driver and it is safe to do so.
Packaging and pallets
Packaging, wrapping, bearers and pallets remain the customer’s responsibility after delivery unless we have agreed otherwise in writing.

Orders cannot normally be amended once they have been accepted, processed or allocated for delivery.
Where changes are requested, we may need to cancel the original order and ask you to place a new order.
Changes may affect:
The delivery date.
Product availability.
The order value.
Minimum order requirements.
