Receiving Large Palletised Orders

Bulk orders of goods will be palletised and delivered on a one-man, curb-side service only meaning that depending upon the conditions, drivers may refuse to deliver to the location of your choice. You are advised to ensure you have adequate man power to accept delivery of an order that will be shipped on a pallet, to move it from the curb side to the location required. This is the responsibility of the customer. Failure to accept delivery or request redelivery can incur additional charges.

Signing For Deliveries

It is essential that all goods are checked before being signed for. If an item is damaged, sign for the item as ‘damaged’, notify the driver and Cosy Owl within 7 days. By failing to do so, you are accepting responsibility for any damage discovered thereafter, voiding any claim. Any claims of damage raised after 7 days will not be honoured due to the length of time the item has been stored and handled, unadvised.

Royal Mail 24 tracked/ untracked will aim to deliver in one working day however this is not a guaranteed service, this could possibly take up to two working days. Royal Mail 48 tracked/ untracked will aim to deliver your parcel within two – three working days however this is not a guaranteed service, this could possibly take up to three to four working days.
