3. Delivery Information
All national deliveries will be ‘Economy’ which is 2-3 days from despatch and delivered on a pallet using a tail lift lorry with a hand pump truck. (No crane facilities)
Delivery charges are based on your location and are calculated on your postcode and will be delivered on pallets by our third party courier.
Local deliveries within a 15 mile radius of The Dry Log Company EX15 3PX will be delivered by our own vehicles for a small charge, please call to arrange.
Economy delivery service has delivery times between 8.30 a.m. and 5.30 p.m. and the carrier will ring to book in a delivery day. This is termed as an ‘Open Booking’ with no time specified, just the day.
Premium Next day delivery service is available at an additional charge of £15 per pallet and goods will be delivered the day after despatch and within 1 working day from despatch. You will receive an email to confirm that it has been despatched – it will then be delivered the following day as an ‘Open Booking’, but you will NOT receive a further call.
Deliveries are designated as kerbside delivery – drivers are not expected to manoeuvre the pallet beyond the rear of the vehicle but will risk assess each delivery and always be as helpful as possible where conditions allow.
All goods must be checked on arrival and delivery paperwork signed unless prior agreement has been made with the delivery company to leave the goods at the property at which point these will be left at the customer’s risk.
On making a purchase, once delivered the pallet on which the product is delivered automatically becomes the property of the purchaser.
Any delivery issues must be reported immediately to Hotter Logs.
In the event of any dispute, resulting in the goods being returned to Hotter Logs, payment will be refunded to the customer less all delivery charges.
Lead times may be extended during busy periods.
