No, because of the nature of our Business we are unable to guarantee delivery time slots. This is because the drivers are delivering and installing large white goods appliances. This is also because the drivers may experience traffic issues which will slow them down.

We do advise that our delivery drivers will give a 30 minute (approx) courtesy call before attending the property.

Our drivers do give a 30 minute courtesy call before delivery, they use a company mobile phone to do this. This will show as an unknown number but please answer, as if there is no answer then the drivers will not attend the property to make the delivery.

If the delivery is failed, for any reason, then it will be rebooked on to the next available delivery day.
