As a genuine family business, we know that customer service should extend to the final stage of your order process… the delivery! We want our delivery service information to be clear, honest and flexible so you know what to expect before ordering. Please read through the following details, and do not hesitate to contact our friendly team should you have any queries or specific requests.
Before placing an order (specifically for larger furniture items), it is your responsibility to cross-reference the dimensions of the product(s) with the dimensions of internal/external access points within your property. This includes doors, corridors, outdoor sideways and gates. If we are delivering to you using our 2-person team and the item(s) cannot be manoeuvred into your desired space, the items will either be left with you to manage (if there is an alternative option that requires neighbour assistance), OR returned to our warehouse and a failed-delivery attempt charge will apply. We are more than happy to discuss this with you before your purchase if you have any concerns.
Please ensure access to your property is clear at the time of delivery, no matter which delivery method is being used.
All delivery methods are inclusive of ground-floor-only destinations.
None of our delivery services include packaging removal or assembly, unless this is agreed by our team as part of a package price, or otherwise stated within any specific product details/promotions online. We do offer a white-glove delivery service at extra cost (POA) - please contact us for further information.
You must contact us if there are any width, height or parking restrictions that will affect delivery so that we can make alternative arrangements, otherwise a failed/re-delivery charge may apply.
Delivery lead times vary based on the availability of the product(s) ordered, and your location.
In Stock Products - Delivery will be made within 1-2 weeks (subject to postcode: delivery to certain, more remote areas may take a little longer for us to organise. If this applies, our team will contact you once your order has been placed)
Pre-Order/Back-Order Products - Estimated stock arrival dates are usually stated within product descriptions. Please contact us if you are unable to find this information before ordering. We will contact you once the awaited stock has arrived to fulfil your order, and your delivery will be booked within 1-2 weeks of said stock arrival. Many of our pre-order products can be reserved with a small deposit online and over the phone.
Custom Orders (e.g. Cane Furniture with chosen fabric) - 4-6 weeks (can vary)
Named Day & Express Delivery - Where possible, we try to accomodate specific delivery date requests and/or express delivery. This is usually a chargeable service, POA - contact our friendly team to discuss your requirements.
We use varying delivery methods (outlined below) based on: your postcode, the product(s) you are ordering, and the routes we have planned for our company vehicles.
Please call or email us before placing your order if you would like confirmation of the delivery method. We always try to accommodate any special requests for delivery methods (charges may apply on this basis).
Company Vehicle Deliveries (Our Own Vehicle & Team)
We strive (and prefer) to use our company vehicles for the majority of our large furniture deliveries. If we have a sufficient number of orders headed to your area, we will organise a delivery plan in one of our company vehicles. A time slot of up to 3 hours will be provided. This will be with either one driver or a two-person team (for heavier items we try our best to send a two-man team where possible). We may ask for your assistance if you would like the item(s) carrying to the back of the property. We do not accept any liability should damage to your property occur during this action. Weekend deliveries can be arranged with this service (not offered as standard and may be subject to additonal charges if requested).
If this method is being used for your delivery, we will inform you by phone call/email/SMS and book this in with you ourselves.
Pallet Deliveries (Third-Party Courier - 'Palletways')
With this method, products are packed, strapped and wrapped securely to one or more pallets (depending on the volume of the item ordered – larger products may be sent on more than one pallet). The courier will call you to book the delivery date (a slot of 9am-5pm will be given for any convenient weekday), and the pallet(s) will be delivered to the front of your property (usually kerbside only). It is your responsibility to remove/unpack the items, and dispose of the pallet(s). Weekend deliveries are not possible with this service. We recommend that at least 2 people are present at the time of a pallet delivery to assist the driver, and to remove & move items.
Pallet deliveries are often made using Heavy Goods Vehicles. The access road must be at least 10ft wide, and the clearance height must be 14ft. You must contact us if there are any width, height or parking restrictions that will affect delivery so that we can make alternative arrangements, otherwise a failed/re-delivery charge may apply.
Pallet deliveries cannot be made on gravel driveways, grass or soil, or on steep inclines. In this instance, the driver will bring the pallet(s) as near to your property as possible.
If this method is being used for your delivery, we will inform you by email and include some further, helpful information. You will then be contacted by the courier shortly after dispatch.
Parcel Deliveries (Third Party Courier - 'DHL' or 'FedEx')
Small items such as cushions, protective covers and non-fragile accessories will be delivered via a 24hr / 48hr parcel service. If no one is home during delivery, the parcel(s) can be left safely.
If this method is being used for your delivery, you will receive an automated email with tracking information 1-2 days before your delivery.
Collections
If you would like to collect your order from our warehouse, this can be organised upon request. You will need to ensure you have a vehicle large enough to accommodate the item(s), and we will be more than happy to advise you of the dimensions and recommend the best suited vehicle.
We are proud to offer FREE delivery to most UK Mainland locations, on purchases over £100.00. * (see below)

FAQ | Answer |
|---|---|
Which delivery method will my order be sent by? | Please see above for our delivery services. The delivery method used will depend on the product(s) ordered and your location. If required, contact us and we can confirm the most likely method. Delivery method requests can be accomodated (potentially at extra cost) |
How much does delivery cost? | Our delivery is mostly FREE to Mainland UK areas, but there are some exclusions (see table above). Delivery charges to Northern Ireland & Channel Islands are priced on application - contact us. |
How long will delivery take? | Delivery Lead times vary based on the product(s) ordered and your location. Please see above for a breakdown of average lead times. |
What days do you deliver/can I choose a delivery date? | Most of our deliveries take place Mon-Fri. However, weekend and chosen-day deliveries can be accomodated upon request (sometimes at extra cost). |
Will I receive tracking & delivery updates? | Company vehicle - No tracking available, but you will receive a call/text/email confirming your delivery date & time slot, and you can contact our team at any time for an update. Pallet Deliveries - No tracking available, but you will be contacted by the courier to book your delivery date, and you can contact our team at any time for an update. Small Parcel - An email with tracking information will be sent the day before your delivery. |
Do I need to be home to receive my delivery? | Not necessarily. It is ideal if someone can be present to receive delivery. However, if you provide written confirmation via email that no one will be present during the time of delivery, but you are happy for the goods to be left in a safe, specified place, then it doesn't matter if no one is home. |
Where will my order be delivered to? | Company vehicle - into your garden/room of choice, as long as it is on ground-level and access is sufficient Pallet delivery - as close as possible to your front door, as long as there are no access restrictions or gravel/grass walkways. In that case, the pallet(s) will be left safely at the kerbside. |
Do you deliver to flats/apartments upstairs? | Unfortunately, none of our delivery methods cover more than ground-floor level. This is for the safety of our team and courier drivers. |
What access information do I need to provide? | If you know that access to your property is limited/restricted, please advise us in advance so that we can make arrangements for a smaller vehicle. If you do not provide this information and delivery cannot be fulfilled, a failed-delivery and re-attempt charge may apply. |
What is a pallet delivery? | A pallet delivery involves the secure strapping and wrapping of product(s) onto one or more pallets so that the goods arrive with you in perfect condition. This is the safest and most cost-effective transport method these days. It is your responsibility to remove the goods from the pallet and dispose of the pallet (easily disposable at your local waste centre). |
What happens if my item arrives damaged/faulty/with missing parts? | We take great care to ensure that all orders arrive with customers in prestine condition. Sometimes, however, products can be faulty/have missing parts (issues that slipped through QC in the factory), and our team would be unable to spot this before delivery. In this unlikely event, please email sales@midlands-cane-garden.co.uk with images and a description of the issue, and we will resolve this promptly. We strongly value our aftersales service and truly understand the frustration that such issues can cause. |
Can I change my order/ delivery address/contact details after ordering? | Yes - we make this very easy as we understand circumstances and minds can change! All and any changes must be sent to us in writing: sales@midlands-cane-garden.co.uk |
