You should inform us about any special delivery requirements or conditions when you place your order, via the ‘Order notes (optional)’ section on our checkout page.

This might include things such as accidents, breakdowns, fire, floods, storms, severe weather, disease, pandemics, acts of god, war, riot, civil commotion, malicious damage or the default of our partners. We will try to put things right as soon as possible however we won’t be held responsible where this causes a delay or failure in delivering your order.

4.19 Although we will always try to pass on any comments left in the ‘Order notes (optional)’ section of our checkout process, which are intended for the courier driver (such as a request for a call prior to delivery), we cannot guarantee that these messages will always be passed on, nor that they will be acknowledged when they are.
