Choose a Convenient Delivery Date
You can choose a delivery day that works for you before you checkout.
98% of our orders are delivered on the chosen day. However sometimes there are things beyond our control that mean your delivery fails on the specified day.
We don’t recommend booking in your tiler or any tradespeople until after your tiles have been delivered.
Delivery of Your Order
The majority of our orders are delivered on a wooden pallet by Pall-Ex, the UK’s leading pallet delivery network.
For safety reasons they will deliver your order to a kerb near your property. This is known as a 'kerbside' delivery and it's standard practice for pallet deliveries.
Occasionally, the driver may wheel the pallet onto your driveway or into a garage. This is at their discretion and cannot be guaranteed.
Some smaller orders may be dispatched in a parcel and delivered by a courier, usually DPD or Fedex.
Delivery Times and ETAs
Your order will be delivered between 8am and 6pm on your chosen day.
If your order is delivered by Pall-Ex, you will receive an email with an ETA once their delivery vehicle leaves the local depot. Please be prepared to stay at home until you receive this.
Please note that the ETA service isn’t yet available on a small number of our deliveries.
Accepting Your Delivery
On the day of delivery, please make sure that an adult is present to receive your order.
They will need to:
1. Inspect for any damage to the tiles
2. Check everything has been delivered
3. Sign to accept the delivery
4. Move boxes of tiles into your property
If you see or suspect any damage to your tiles, then please follow the guidelines below.
Damages
We prepare our orders to extremely high standards, to help reduce the chance of damage occurring in transit.
We secure our tiles to the pallet using high quality shrink wrap, rather than cheaper stretch films.
As well as reducing the potential for boxes to shift, it’s also designed to be puncture proof and keep out any moisture.
All orders leave our warehouse in perfect condition, damage can very occasionally occur during delivery.
Damage usually happens for a reason and it’s normally quite obvious. For example, the pallet may have been knocked into something accidentally, or an object has pierced through the shrink film.
If you see or suspect damage of any description then please do the following:
-
1. Write DAMAGED on the delivery note
2. Take photos of all damaged tiles
3. Complete our Damages Form within 24 hours of receiving your order
-
Once your form has been processed we can send out free replacements.
Unfortunately we cannot send these out until your form and photos have been received.
We recommend keeping any damaged tiles as your tiler may still be able to use these.
Unloading your order
Once the driver has parked their vehicle, they will unload your pallet from the truck to the ground using a tail lift and a pallet trolley. They will then wheel the pallet to a flat, stable and safe spot on the kerb.
Please note that delivery drivers always have to work within health and safety guidelines.
This means they will not be able to open the pallet, carry boxes into your home or deliver onto steep inclines, gravel driveways or other unusual conditions. If you’re unsure whether your chosen address is suitable for kerbside delivery, please contact us and we’ll be able to help.
Moving Your Order
Once the pallet has been signed for, your order will need to be moved into your property. You’ll need a Stanley knife or sharp blade to cut through the shrink wrap and access the boxes of tiles.
We recommend asking a friend, family member or tradesman for help carrying these into your property, as some boxes can weigh up to 30kg and may require two people to carry.
Access Issues
Please let us know if there’s any local access issues such as narrow lanes, repair works or road closures. We'll then be able to make alternate arrangements so there’s no delay to your delivery. There may be an extra charge if a smaller vehicle or re-delivery is required - we’ll discuss this with you, where necessary.
You can inform us using the Delivery Notes box in the basket, before heading to the checkout.
