Have you got some concerns about delivery of a potential order? Here are some questions and answers to help you out
We aim to dispatch orders within a few days of the order being placed.
At times of high demand we may need to cut the bricks to order. This process normally takes a couple of days depending on the size of the order. If it is expected to be longer than this our team will let you know.
Once orders are completed, they are dispatched on a 2-3 day delivery service.
For full details of our delivery service, head to our Delivery page for more details
We have negotiated the cheapest prices available with our delivery partners.
Delivery costs vary based on your postcode and the weight of your order.
All of our orders are dispatched on a pallet delivery service to ensure there are minimal breakages on arrival.
Brick slips are a fragile product that, if not handled correctly on delivery can break easily.
We would recommend that someone is available to sign for your delivery, however upon request the delivery drivers are able to leave your order unattended if there is a safe place to do so.
This can only be done if they have a safe place that is accessible for a pallet delivery (such as a driveway, front garden).
If you don't have a safe place to leave the order, the driver would not be able to leave it unattended and will require a signature. If this is an issue for you, please let our team know and we will be able to make arrangements.
We'd say it's better to over order than under order. Nobody wants to come to the end of fitting their brick slips and find they are just a few short.
We always recommend to add an extra 5% to your order to account for wastage.
If you do find you have over ordered and would like to return the extras you have. Get in touch with our team who will be happy to help out.
If you are not completely satisfied with your purchase for any reason, you may return it to us for a full refund or an exchange.
For more details please take a look at our Refund & Returns policy.
