How quickly are products delivered?
We give an indication of delivery lead times on every product page. The standard cut off for dispatching in stock items is usually at 2:00PM although this may vary depending on the nature of your order and seasonal volumes.
We normally deliver on working weekdays, however, Saturday AM deliveries on request. We do not deliver on Bank Holidays.
We try to deliver all orders at the earliest possible opportunity, however the dispatch time can be affected by stock availability and delivery location. In the unlikely event that the delivery time falls outside of this estimated dispatch period, a member of the sales team will contact you with 24 working hours of your order being placed.
Please be aware that delivery lead times are only approximate and we accept no liability with regards to any failed or delayed deliveries. We would advise that you do not schedule contractual work until you are in receipt of your goods and they have been checked for any damage or discrepancies.
Chingford Building Supplies Ltd will not be liable for any costs incurred for late or failed deliveries if goods are not checked before contractual work has been arranged.
If you have an urgent requirement, please contact us to speak to one of our advisers who can carry out a thorough stock check and determine lead time for your delivery area.
How are the goods delivered?
The type of delivery is dependent on the product(s) you have purchased.

Larger items such as Bulk Bags are delivered by lorry so please ensure you have adequate space for delivery and where possible, ensure access to your premises(doorways, path, driveway) are clear of any obstructions, our drivers are only insured to deliver to kerbside of a property, it is down to the customer to ensure they are capable of handling goods within their own premises upon receipt.
Please contact us if you have any queries regarding delivery of large products to your property.
Heavy and bulky items must be often handled by 2 people and whilst a delivery driver will assist as much as they can during delivery, it is down to the customer to ensure they manoeuvre and store delivered items in a safe manner to avoid accident, injury or damage to the property or product.
Please dispose of any packaging safely and with consideration to the environment.
