• Pallets left on a pavement can block the footway, so plan a drop point inside your boundary where you can.
• In summer Rosyth gets around 17h 38m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.
• If the site is up a shared drive or behind other houses, tell us the distance from the road.
