Before you order

What's included, and what isn't

A quick read so there are no surprises on delivery day.

  • Use a tail lift to lower goods to ground level

What we can't do

Your part

What we need from you

Four quick things to make sure your delivery goes smoothly.

Move goods inside

Delivery is to the kerbside. You will need help moving goods into your premises.

Clear vehicle access

Pallet vehicles are large. Flag any narrow lanes, weight limits or access issues.

Valid contact number

The carrier must be able to reach you. Provide a number you will answer.

Be present to sign

Someone must be there to receive and sign. Failed deliveries may incur a redelivery charge.

The bit that catches people out

Tell us about access issues before you order

Pallet trucks need adequate road access. Failed deliveries from undeclared access issues are passed on as a redelivery charge.

What counts as an access issue

Anything that stops a large pallet vehicle from reaching your delivery point safely. Narrow approaches, parking restrictions, height or weight limits, or sites where a pallet truck can't safely manoeuvre.

What you should do

Mention any concerns at checkout in the order notes, or call us on 01279 460 460 before placing your order. Better to flag it than risk a failed delivery on the day.

If you don't tell us

If the carrier arrives and can't deliver, the cost of a second attempt is passed on to you. This typically ranges from £75 in Zone 1 to £200 plus for offshore zones.

  • Narrow lanes or roads that large vehicles cannot navigate
  • Double yellow lines or parking restrictions at the drop-off point
  • Height or width restrictions on approach roads or car parks
  • Gated communities, barriers, or restricted access sites
  • Steep inclines or road surfaces unsuitable for pallet trucks
  • Rural locations with single-track roads or passing places
Failed or refused deliveries may incur a redelivery charge. If you are unsure whether your address is suitable, call us on 01279 460 460 before placing your order. We will check the postcode and route with the carrier and confirm before despatch.

The questions we hear most

Heavy goods FAQs

Common heavy goods questions, answered in plain English.

What if I miss the carrier's call to book a slot?
The carrier will try again over the following working days. If they can't reach you within their attempt window, the order returns to depot and we will contact you to rebook. To avoid delays, please answer or return the call as soon as possible.
Can I specify a delivery time window?
The carrier offers AM and PM windows on the agreed day. Specific hourly slots are not available on the standard service. If you need a guaranteed time, ask about premium options when placing your order.
The driver is here. Can they help carry it inside?
Drivers are insured to deliver to the kerbside only and cannot enter your premises. This applies even if the driver offers to help. Please arrange help at your end to move goods inside on the day.
Do you offer next-day heavy goods delivery?
Yes, on request and only for some Zone 1 locations. The next-day heavy goods service is £100 inc. VAT and the cut-off is 1pm. Call us on 01279 460 460 before placing your order to confirm availability for your postcode.
What if my heavy goods item arrives damaged?
Inspect the goods before signing. If you can see damage to the packaging or the item, sign for it as "damaged" with the driver and email help@displaysense.co.uk with photos within 48 hours. We will sort a replacement or refund right away.
How do I dispose of the wooden pallet?
Our drivers make every effort to take the pallet back on the day. If for any reason that's not possible, the pallet will be left for you to dispose of. Most pallets can be recycled at local waste centres or used in your own materials handling.
