In the vast majority of cases we will assist you at the delivery location to place your items with you where reasonably possible (access permitting). Occasionally this won’t be possible if we use a third party delivery company.
The Company only uses one driver so it is essential that assistance (should it be required) is on hand otherwise the delivery may not occur; this is at the discretion of the delivery driver.
Should a 2-person delivery &/or onsite assembly service be required, we can quote you accordingly.
If you are looking to place a larger order please contact us at sales@reformedplastics.co.uk and we will likely be able to discount delivery.
