Delivery & Shipping Information

 

In Store Orders / Local Delivery:

For items purchased in store and to be delivered by our own Bestbuys delivery team, our warehouse team will contact you to arrange your delivery date and an estimated time. Delivery days are Monday to Friday, during store opening hours, by our own delivery team.

During our busier periods, we kindly request some degree of flexibility concerning delivery times.

Goods must be signed for on delivery and cannot be left unattended.

Whilst we will endeavour to take as much care as possible, our insurance is for door to door, ground floor delivery only.  Customers may request assistance in taking the order into the premises, but this will be at the discretion of the delivery team only, and will assume that there is safe and sufficient access. Due to current Health and Safety rules, we are unable to transport goods up or down flights of steps, lift over fences or walls, or carry long distances.

Please advise us if you have any special requirements, or delivery access issues in advance.

Online / Telephone Orders:

Online and Telephone Orders placed before 1pm on a working day (Mon – Fri) will be processed and dispatched the same day. A working day is any day other than weekends and bank / other public holidays.

Every effort is made to dispatch items the same working day, however, if you have placed an order after the 1pm “cut off” time and have chosen a next working day delivery option, please contact our store and we will be able to advise you if there is still time to process and dispatch your order the same day.

Delivery charges normally apply to all Online or Telephone Order products unless specified as “Free Delivery” on the product page.

Depending on the weight, volume and value of your order and your delivery address, we will select an appropriate carrier to deliver your order. Most parcel orders are sent using Parcelforce who deliver Monday to Friday (excluding bank holidays) between the hours of 7am and 6pm.

Please ensure you supply a daytime delivery address for your order as a signature will be required. Shipping Options and prices for your selected item(s) will appear at the checkout stage.

Occasionally, oversized items and postcodes outside our courier’s standard delivery areas may attract additional surcharges outside of the prices listed on this page (the correct shipping fee for your item(s) and postcode will appear at the checkout stage). Please see below for a list of Postcode surcharge areas.

Surcharge Postcode Areas:

Due to the distance required to deliver items to the certain postcodes and “remote” areas, most courier companies charge a higher rate than that of mainland deliveries. This is simply because transport costs to cover this extra distance are higher than those of delivering to standard mainland areas.

If your address is within any of the postcode ranges below, you must select the appropriate option on the basket / checkout page. Please be sure to select the correct shipping option whilst placing your order as orders placed with an incorrect shipping zone may be subject to an additional charge and a possible delay.

Where possible, we will always try to offer the best value service / price for your order to be shipped.
