All orders will be left in a specified safe place if you are not in at the time of delivery.

If you have any special delivery requirements, please contact us before placing your order.

Please note that Plumbco is not responsible for any delays caused by Royal Mail. We strive to dispatch all orders within 24 hours, but we cannot guarantee delivery times once your order has been handed over to Royal Mail.

We understand that delays can be frustrating, and we apologise for any inconvenience this may cause. We will do our best to keep you updated on the status of your order, but please be patient as we wait for Royal Mail to deliver your package.

Pallet Deliveries:

For larger items such as boilers, radiators and baths, we will use pallet deliveries, which will be done by ourselves at Plumbco. Once we have received your order, we will be in contact to arrange delivery to your address.

Please note that pallet deliveries are kerbside only, so please make sure that you have assistance available to help you get the products into your property.

It is important that you are in on the day of delivery of your pallet. If you are not in when a pallet is attempted to be delivered, your pallet will be taken back to stores and a further charge will be added for the pallet to be redelivered.

If for any reason you won't be in on the arranged delivery, please call us straight away on 01933 224100.

We want to make sure that you receive your order as soon as possible and that you are happy with the delivery service. If you have any questions or concerns about deliveries, please do not hesitate to contact us.
