Delivery and Collection

Standard Carrier Delivery - Now changed to XDP250^®, and occasionally TNT and APC;

- from JAS Timber Ltd - Blackburn BB1 1DB

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".

TNT items can be up to -
1500x400x400mm/­10Kg = £11.40 +vat - over 10Kg - per 1Kg = +£0.50 +vat
items over 1.5 metres, up to 2.4 metres now have a surcharge of £5 + vat, and further surcharge for 2.4 to 3.6 metre items - from +£15 +vat - poa;

APC have reduced their carryable length:
APC carried items can be up to -
1500x400x400mm/­10Kg = £11.40 +vat - over 10Kg - per 1Kg = +£0.50 +vat;
- 2.4 to 3.6 metres from +£15 +vat - poa;

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;
