1. Carriage charges in brief

For the majority of England and Scotland carriage costs £6 up to an order value of £45 excluding VAT.  Orders values over £45 but under £90 excluding VAT are charged at £4.  Orders over £90 are  free of charge with the exception of heavy, long or fragile goods which are charged differently, see below.  This is based on next working day delivery if the order is received before 12pm (Mid day). Orders despatched on a Friday will be delivered on the following Monday. Where there is a bank holiday the order will be delivered on the next working day instead.  Please note that delivery next working day is only possible if the goods are in stock.

3. Heavy Goods
These products are over the maximum weight for standard carriage charges therefore carriage is quoted at the checkout.  They are sent by pallet on a 48 hour working day delivery service.  Access for a lorry is required and because the delivery is made by an external haulier they will only deliver the pallet, it is your responsibility to unload it and take the goods inside.
 
4. Long Goods
These products are over the 2.6m maximum length allowable for standard carriage therefore carriage is quoted seperately.
 
5. Fragile Goods

These products are fragile and are liable to be damaged in transit, as we have found in the past using an external carrier. Unfortunately we cannot despatch these goods by carrier. The following rules apply:

      • Local delivery
        We can deliver by van from a local branch throughout the East Midlands.
      • Orders Of Sufficient Quantity
        We can deliver direct from the manufacturer, the order for lamps would need to be a minimum of £150.00 for this facility.
      • Collection
        If you are able to collect then you are welcome during business hours.
 
 6. Elnur Goods
 

Elnur has a unique arrangement where the goods are despatched by the manufacturer direct to you and include carriage charges for mainland England and Scotland.  The have a excellent service reputation. 

Orders outside of these areas (including the Scottish islands, IOM, Scilly Isles, Ireland and the Channel Islands) are subject to extra charges and are quoted seperately, please accept our apologies if this is not shown clearly at the checkout.
