A. Log Cabin Delivery Instructions
**Please note that all deliveries to Ireland, some highland areas and any offshore address will be subject to an extended lead-time. Most off shore islands are a port drop only. Please call before you order.
Delivery is usually very easy and straightforward. We state 10 Working days delivery schedule on each product page. We can often deliver to specified dates, but cannot guarantee this. Customers will always be contacted at least 24 hours before delivery and be given the date and approximate time of delivery. If you need more notice than this - please let us know at the point of ordering. Delivery is Free of Charge to UK mainland addresses provided the following points can be met.
1. Delivery is made by a 6 Wheeler Truck with a "Piggy-Back" forklift on board to unload the cabin.
2. There must be sufficient space for this vehicle to operate. (If in doubt - please contact us on 01636 880510 to discuss). If the Cabin cannot be off-loaded due to a lack of space - a delivery charge may apply.
3. Delivery is Kerb Side: Our drivers are very helpful and will always try to leave the cabin as conveniently positioned as possible however because the Forklifts are very heavy - we leave it entirely at the drivers discretion whether or not it is suitable to drive onto your property.
4. Customer (or customer’s representative) must be available to receive the cabin and assist with off-loading if so required.
5. It is Important that you should insert at least one, but ideally two telephone numbers in the telephone number box when ordering. Our Transport Dept. will always contact you at least one day prior to delivery. They will give as accurate a delivery schedule as possible. The Cabin will not simply arrive unless you have been contacted first!
When the cabins are delivered they are packed in a weather proof wrapping and can stand outside quite satisfactorily for a reasonable time (The exception to this would be if the cabin is delivered on a smaller vehicle and has to be off-loaded manually, and therefore un-packed).
If you feel that delivery on a smaller vehicle would be more appropriate - please don't hesitate to contact us. We can always arrange this and frequently at no additional cost. However, as the smaller vehicles are not able to carry a forklift - the driver would require assistance with unloading the cabin.
If you are concerned about delivery or any other aspect of the Cabin, in anyway whatsoever please contact us on: 01636 880510
