We deliver using three different services.

This information is also available online for customers who choose to register with us when placing their order.

Orders placed Monday to Friday, before 1pm, will be despatched for delivery on the next working day, unless otherwise stated. Orders placed on a Saturday or Sunday will be processed on the following Monday, with delivery made on Tuesday, unless a later date has been specified.

1: DHL : NEXT WORKING DAY - DELIVERED BY 5.30PM*

Orders for goods weighing up to 60Kg can be delivered on our next day service by our nominated courier, signed for and tracked service.

*Delivery is by scheduled by 5.30pm the following working day to business addresses. For residential addresses deliveries are scheduled between 8am and 8pm. (Monday – Friday, this does not include Bank Holidays)

DHL will provide live tracking, a 1-hour time slot and up to the minute notifications providing the option to change the delivery date or location if you're not going to be at the delivery address.

You can also choose to have the parcel directed to a neighbour or a safe place.
Or you can choose to collect from over 3,500 SevicePoint, which are based in local convenience stores that stay open till late.

We prefer someone to be in attendance at the delivery address to sign for the goods.
Customers can also state on their order notes that they would like the parcel to be left somewhere, for example, in a porch, or with a neighbour. Wherever possible the nominated courier will endeavour to follow these instructions accurately. NOTE: Goods specified to be left at the delivery address without signature are left at the customer’s own risk.

Where no instructions have been given, and no one is available to take delivery, the DHL may at its discretion either deliver the shipment to a neighbour, deliver to a SevicePoint, leave in a safe place, or schedule re-delivery.

DHL shall deliver to the specified delivery address only, but it is not required to obtain POD from any person present at the delivery address. Instead DHL may leave the shipment in a location on the delivery address or it may deliver into a SevicePoint, re-deliver or hold pending further instruction.
For the avoidance of doubt, the word "safe" in this context means DHL is not obliged to, but may at its discretion take into consideration, placing the shipment in a location at the delivery address that is not obviously visible from a public place.

Wherever possible the courier will attempt to leave a card notifying customers of their options. At this point customers advised to follow the options provided in the tracking email / text from DHL to request a second delivery attempt on a specific day, provide "leave with neighbour" or "leave safe" instructions or notify the courier that they are coming to collect their order. 

The nominated courier will try to delivery your parcel twice before a redelivery charge will need to be paid in order for goods to be received. This charge is equal to the initial carriage. If the nominated courier receive no call from a customer after two attempted deliveries they will return the goods to Pure Adhesion Ltd. Redelivery charges will then be charged at the original cost plus the cost of the return (usually the same again).

N.B. All deliveries by Pure Adhesion are carried out by 3rd party couriers and hauliers. Therefore we are unable to specify exact delivery times or provide estimated time of deliveries.

DHL SERVICEPOINTS

We know our customers lead busy lives and don’t always have time to wait in for their parcel to be delivered.

DHL Service Point allows you to have your parcel delivered to a local shop for collection.
You'll be notified by email & SMS when your parcel is ready to collect, and you'll have up to 7 days to collect at a time to suit you.

If the parcel is not collected within 7 days, the parcel will be automatically routed back to Pure Adhesion.
Should this occur, Pure Adhesion are charged by the couriers for a return delivery cost, which will be debited from any eligible refunds.
In this instance the original delivery cost will also not be eligible for refund.

2: PALLET DELIVERY NEXT WORKING DAY - DELIVERED BY 5.30PM

We deliver larger orders with vehicles fitted with "tail-lifts" to avoid manual unloading. The driver uses the tail lift on his lorry and a hand-moved pallet trolley to offload your delivery. Most of our heavy /bulky materials are delivered on pallets and whenever possible will be placed in a convenient position such as a driveway etc. subject to reasonable access. When unloaded from the vehicle pallets can only be transported over areas of level hard-standing (e.g. concrete or tarmac), the pallet trolley does not work on steep slopes, loose or uneven surfaces (e.g. gravel / pebble drives).
The pallet cannot be lifted over fences or walls. Neither can he take the order any further than the pallet trolley allows. 
Pallet deliveries are for "kerbside" only, and drivers are not insured to unload the pallets and "handball" goods into a property.

Pallet deliveries will be attempted once on the day specified. Unsuccessful deliveries due to no one being at the delivery address to sign for the goods, can be redelivered, but will be subject to a redelivery charge.

N.B. All deliveries by Pure Adhesion are carried out by 3rd party couriers and hauliers. Therefore we are unable to specify exact delivery times or provide estimated time of deliveries.

For example, £6.00 ex VAT for a smaller box such as a tileable niche, or £10.00 ex VAT for an item deemed to be one of our larger boxed products, such as a tileable wetroom shower tray.

Returned goods being cancelled after two attempted deliveries, will be refundable to the original order value, less the initial delivery & return delivery cost and less re-boxing / handling charges (where applicable).
