• In summer Hampton gets around 16h 37m 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.
• If the drop point is block paving or soft ground, say so; heavy pallets and bulk bags can mark or sink.
