Delivery and Returns


Our business is about getting the right plastic to you in top condition, when you want it. Our super sturdy packaging, with the help of our couriers, should mean your plastic arrives safe and sound. If it doesn't, we'll send more. 

 

Delivery


We offer standard, next day and named day delivery services.  

Our larger orders are delivered via specialist couriers and we will email you the day before their delivery.  

Whichever delivery option you choose, you will see your expected delivery date before you checkout. If you choose our standard delivery, this date is an estimate.
 

Standard Delivery - from £9.96

All orders are delivered using our standard delivery service unless you choose our next day service.  
 
Standard delivery is usually 5 - 7 working days. Orders with optional extras or cut-to-shape pieces can take longer..

Where possible, we will let you know if something is going to take longer than expected.


Standard delivery dates are estimated so please allow time to receive and check your order before you need to use the material or before contractors are due to begin work. If you need your delivery for a specific day, consider using either our Next Day or Named Day shipping services.

There are certain postcodes where we cannot deliver to at our offer price of £9.96. They are postcodes with prefix letters PA and PH (charged at £30) and BT, GY, HS, IM, IV, JE, KW, PO Isle of Wight, TR and ZE (charged at £45). 


Next Day Delivery -  £33.00 

We can deliver orders for clear acrylic, polycarbonate (up to 12mm thick) and silver acrylic mirror next day.  Where next day delivery is available we will offer you this choice during checkout. 

Please order before 1pm.  Orders received after 1pm will be delivered the following working day after. Working days are Monday to Friday; weekends and public holidays are excluded.

If any items ordered on a next day delivery are out of stock, we will contact you to organise alternative arrangements.


Named Day Delivery - £24.00

We have listened to your feedback & can now offer a named day delivery service across all of our products. 

Just add your plastic to your basket and select Named Day as the delivery option, and then pick your chosen delivery day. 

No more guessing when your parcels will arrive.

Simple!

  
Safe Delivery
If we think that your order cannot be delivered safely using our standard service, we will contact you to let you know and discuss the delivery options with you. This normally is only the case for orders so large they need to be delivered on a pallet.
Alternatively, if you think your order may be too large to be delivered using our standard courier, you can contact us to discuss alternative delivery options before placing the order.

We recommend you allow time between receiving your delivery and starting any work in case any part of your order needs to be replaced.


Collection - 
You are welcome to collect your order at our Trade Counter - please select this option during checkout.  This service is free.

Our Trade Counter is open from 8am until 4pm Monday to Thursday and 8am until 3pm on Fridays. We are closed on weekends and bank holidays.
