Deliveries Containing Non-standard Items

Some products, particularly those that are larger, require a different process for delivery which can affect the price compared to our standard delivery prices above. When this occurs we will do our best to list them here;

Wood Pellets, Bark, Railway Sleepers, Planks and Posts:
– Within Cornwall: From £45 inc VAT per pallet
– Outside of Cornwall (Mainland England) – Prices will vary. Call for quote. Delivery is per pallet.

Log Stores

Our log stores are delivered via a third Party and lead time for delivery is 10 to 12 days. You will be updated with a delivery date. Kerbside delivery only. Collection can be arranged if delivery not suitable.

Delivery Dates

We calculate delivery dates by your post code. These are our usual days and postcodes for local deliveries. *

* These delivery days are subject to change and are excluding bank holidays and public holidays. We will try our best to notify you in advance if your delivery date changes.

Delivery Cut Off Times

Orders received Monday – Friday at least 1 day prior to the regular delivery day and before 1pm are normally delivered the same week*.

Orders before 1pm:

For example, a TR1 post code (Usual delivery day Thursday) must be ordered by 1pm the day before (Wednesday) or sooner to get it to you that same week.

Orders after 1pm:

Orders made after 1pm and 1 day prior to the regular delivery day will be delivered the following week on the next available delivery day.

For example, a TR1 post code (Usual delivery day Thursday) ordered after 1pm on Wednesday or thereafter will usually be allocated a delivery day of Thursday the following week.

Same Day Delivery:

We currently do not offer same day delivery but if you phone our office after submitting your order we may on some occasions be able to bring your delivery sooner that your allocated delivery date.

* Whilst we do our best to consistently meet our delivery dates, sometimes unforeseen events require us to change our deliveries and so all of our delivery dates and times are subject to change.
