Delivery and Collection
Standard Carrier Delivery - Now changed to XDP250, and occasionally TNT and APC;
at JAS Timber - Blackburn BB1 1DB - Tel 01254 54000
XDP items can be up to -
2400x400x400mm/10Kg = £11.40 +vat - over 10Kg - per 1Kg = +£0.50 +vat
( The risk of damage is worse with XPD than APC - Their communications for tracked delivery have improved greatly with their new website, and it is very simple to use now! However we are putting a surcharge selection on many 2.4 metre products so that you can select an "insured" tracked delivery with TNT. Delivery products are not insured with XPD - Though as always with any carrier you need to check your delivery on arrival, because once signed the delivery note will absolve the carrier of any responsiblity, and they are not forgiving in any way.. When damage is apparent, you need to refuse the delivery, so it is sent back to us Marked - "DAMAGED".

1500x400x400mm/10Kg = £11.40 +vat - over 10Kg - per 1Kg = +£0.50 +vat

Carrier delivery that we use is "Next working day"
( The success rate with APC has been 96% for 2012 and 2013 - including the BAD winter period. Unfortunately APC reduced their carriage length in 2014 to 1.5 metres. )
( We have used TNT for 36 months, and their success rate has only been about 95%, and with a higher damage rate than APC - they have put an increased charge of £5 +vat for items over 1.5M. - Mid 2015. )
We have also used XDP since July 2015 - and we are finding their "Next Day" success rate is about 93%. This is reduced during busy holiday periods like Christmas and New Year;
