DELIVERY AND RETURNS INFORMATION

Delivery times are a guideline only and may be extended due to high traffic volumes. Your depot will call you to arrange a date. If you need assistance, please contact us.

It is important that you provide a contact number where you can be reached in daytime because the depot may need to call ahead and arrange delivery, or call for directions on the day.

Access requirements

Access to your property must be at least 8.9ft (2.7m) wide and provide unobstructed vertical clearance of at least 13ft (4m) with no tree branches or other obstructions to allow access at least by an 18 tonne vehicle. The area must be free of parking restrictions. If such restrictions apply at certain times only, please advise us soonest after placing the order.
The area where the goods will be unloaded must be hard and levelPallet hand trucks cannot be moved over soft, loose surfaces such as grass or gravel, up- or downhill or across dropped/raised kerbs. In this case delivery will be to the kerbside only, which means the nearest point to your property with a flat, hard surface at street level accessible by the delivery vehicle. The drivers are not insured and are under no obligation to go inside your property including any outbuildings.
We are unable to deliver to properties without a full street address, such as houseboats.

For properties with restricted access, delivery on short wheelbase 12 tonne vehicles is available for all pallet sizes (except some areas in Scotland). Guideline dimensions of a 12 tonne vehicle are 8ft 4" (2.6m) external width, 30ft (9m) external length and 12ft (3.5m) external height. Delivery on 7.5 t vehicles and Luton vans with a tail lift may be available for items weighing 500kg or less on a case by case basis - email info@bioglow.co.uk or call 02030020359 to check. 

Additional delivery services are available to facilitate convenient delivery to any location. These services include: 

- guaranteed delivery of boxed Pini-Kay briquettes to any address;

- discounted parcel delivery to your door (no charge for quarter pallets but charges may apply for larger orders) 

- van delivery (charges may apply)

- you can buy a sack truck for £45 (one per order please) to move boxes from the delivery vehicle to your door. 

Please contact us for details.  

It is your responsibility to ensure that your delivery location is hard, level and accessible by at least a 12 tonne vehicle. If you are not sure, please call us on 020 30020359 and we will be happy to advise. If the driver delivering your order determines that delivery location is not suitable for unloading, you will be offered kerbside delivery at the nearest point accessible by the delivery vehicle. If kerbside delivery cannot be made safely (for example, where the pallet would obstruct traffic) or is declined by you, the order will be returned to us and refunded with the cost of return shipping up to £48.00 including VAT deducted from the refund.

Drop-off procedure

The drivers will move the pallet truck to the location you require, so long as it is safe to do so. Delivery is contracted only to the kerbside, that is the nearest location to your property accessible by a hard and level surface suitable for a 1 tonne pallet truck. During offloading, please be sure to stand well away from the tail lift with the loaded pallet for your own safety. Do not attempt to assist the driver.  Approach the pallet only when it is stationary on the ground. Only accept a delivery you are happy with. 

If the courier cannot locate anyone to accept delivery, we will attempt to leave your goods without a signature. If the goods cannot be left securely, they will be taken back to the depot.

 

Click and Collect

If you are interested in our products, but have difficulty accepting a pallet delivery due to limited/unsuitable access, or if you work full time and are unable to accept delivery on a weekday, ask us about collection of your order at the nearest delivery depot. We work with over 300 depots covering the whole of the United Kingdom, and a number of depots in the Republic of Ireland. A half pallet or quarter pallet of heat logs will easily fit into the back of most passenger cars, and you can agree a convenient time for collection (weekdays only). Collections at a discount are available from our warehouses across the United Kingdom including Northern Ireland. 

We also offer smaller order deliveries (such as sample packs) to InPost lockers, Menzies Highlands and collection points of many carriers including Parcelforce and UPS.
