REDELIVERY AND CANCELLATIONS
REDELIVERY
Please ensure that you provide a contactable phone number during deliveries. Drivers must be able to contact you on the day of delivery at all times.
We ask our customer to provide a ///what3words address for all deliveries. This is extremely beneficial as there is a growing number of address not available on online maps & properties with no numbers &/or house names. Creating an address is very easy just follow this link - https://what3words.com/observer.udder.freshest
When customers are not contactable, this may result in pallet being returned to the depot. Please note that there will be a redelivery charge of £20+VAT/pallet for each additional delivery attempt if there is no one able to receive the delivery or the delivery is unable to be left safely. It is the customers responsibility to ensure the delivery point is suitable for delivery as per these instructions.
