Delivery to Leeds: what helps

Bulk bags are usually lifted off by crane where access allows; tell us where they can sit and whether the ground is firm. Leeds is inside our standard mainland delivery area.

• In summer Leeds gets around 17h 06m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.
• Have someone on site for the delivery if you can, or agree a safe drop point with us in advance.
• On busy streets in Leeds, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
