Delivery Guidelines

Delivering goods on a pallet is very different from any other type of delivery you may receive, such as parcels or packages. It takes more tools and equipment and does carry some risk to our drivers.

Therefore, our delivery rules are governed by Health & Safety guidelines, for the benefit of both our drivers and our customers so that you receive the highest quality service in the safest manner possible. • Our Pallet deliveries ARE made to a kerbside location • We NEED to deliver on solid, flat surfaces to facilitate safe pump truck operation • We WILL deliver to ground level locations only • We CANNOT deliver pallets on steep inclines For more information on how we deliver please visit www.palletways.com/pallet-delivery-services For any queries please contact us on customer_care@palletways.com

Book if you want to be messed around

Placed an order on Friday for pickup on Monday, pickup didnt happen called at 1630 to findout when it was being picked up. I was informed that due to a booking error that my pallets would be picked up on Tuesday. Me being a reasonable man thought that due to the error that id be first on the list on Tuesday. Well I was wrong. I called Tuesday and was told that I would have my pallets picked up at some point in the PM which ended up being 1600. I waited around until about 1600 on Wednesday for my pallet to be dropped off but was informed that my pallets were scheduled to be delivered on Friday!!! I called the local depot who then informed me that as far as they knew it was to be delivered on Thursday. This company is a joke. Avoid at all costs. ID 60045350081

Really helpful driver

Materials were despatched much earlier than anticipated and we weren’t there to receive them. But the driver Finn liaised with our neighbour to deliver them by himself and was superb. Thank you so much.

I’m extremely disappointed with my experience with Palletways.

I received no email, call, or any clear delivery time/details in advance, so I wasn’t properly informed about when the pallet would arrive. When the driver did turn up, the pallet was left in a way that blocked the public walkway, which created a real problem. Because it was a kerbside delivery and I hadn’t been informed properly, I refused to accept it and refused to sign the delivery paperwork.

Instead of arranging a straightforward re-delivery or offering a solution, the situation escalated. I was then told an allegation had been made that my builder made a racist comment — but my builder wasn’t even at the scene at the time ( my cctv is proven that), so I strongly dispute this. After that, the re-delivery was cancelled, and I was left without my order.
From my point of view, it felt like the allegation was used to justify cancelling my delivery after I raised concerns and refused to sign.
Overall: poor communication, no practical resolution, and an unfair outcome.

I would not recommend this service based on my experience.
