  • Pallets with a weight over 500kg will be delivered using a larger wagon up to 18 tonnes in size. 
  • We can deliver to most properties in the UK, however some areas are not accessable by large vehicles. If we discover prior to an order being dispatched, that a delivery to a property is unlikely due to access restrictions including low bridges, narrow roads, sharp bends or weight restrictions. We will notify you and hold your consignment back from dispatch until a solution is found. If there is no alternative the customer will be given a full refund.
  • The customer should notify us at the time of ordering of any vehicle access restrictions or issues that may prevent us from safely delivering a consignment. A charge will be made for re-delivery of an order should an attempt to deliver fail.
  • Should the driver be unable to gain access to the customers' property or site, then the consignment will be returned to the nearest depot where the customer will have to make other arrangements at their own expense.
  • Our delivery service is to kerbside only. Delivery to anywhere else on a property is at the drivers discretion when making the delivery.
  • Delivery is made using a large wagon up to 18tonnes in size with a tail-lift. The pallet is then moved using a pump truck. Pump trucks cannot be operated on steep slopes or soft ground including gravel or steps.
  • Our Couriers do not operate a Hi-Ab service, all Courier deliveries are carried out by tail lift and pallet pump trucks.
  • Should a pallet or crate have to be returned to us for any reason the customer will be refunded the original payment less all haulage charges generated. Haualage costs are generated when a pallet leaves our depot for trasit to a delivery depot. Further haulage costs are generated when a pallet makes a return journey from a delivery depot back to ourselves.
  • Delivery times may be extended due to unforeseen circumstances (i.e. bad weather, excepionally busy periods, vehicle problems or traffic issues).
  • Dawsons Fuels will make every effort to arrange delivery of products on the agreed date, but if for any reason the delivery company is unable to make a delivery.
