How delivery works in Liverpool

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

• Weight limits on bridges or private roads near the site matter for larger lorries, so mention any you know of.
• Give us the full postcode for the drop point; deliveries around L1 are priced to the exact address.
• Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.
