DELIVERY & Returns

There is a £6.95 minimum delivery charge on all orders to UK mainland addresses (Remote areas will incur higher fees). We offer a variety of delivery choices based on the size of the order which includes premium tracked delivery, same-day dispatch and 2-man courier delivery for larger items. We aim to dispatch your product on the same day if your order comes in before Noon (based on usual general procedures, subject to change during peak and busy periods). Note, same day dispatch is not guaranteed on complete playgrounds; for these items, we will contact you separately to arrange a booking slot prior to delivery. Courier delivery: to UK mainland addresses. The average delivery time is 48 hours from dispatch. All courier time scales are not guaranteed but are fully tracked so you can see the status of your order at any moment from dispatch.

The different delivery options below based on the size of the items in your order are:

  • Tracked delivery within 24 hours of dispatch*: For small, one-box items, so you have full visibility of when to expect your parcel from our selected couriers.
  • Standard tracked delivery: For large items - Dispatched within 24 hours on a 2-day tracked service
  • Palletised tracked delivery: For complete playgrounds and other large items. These orders usually arrive within 1-3 days of dispatch and vary by location. For these items, the courier will contact you to arrange a booking slot prior to delivery.

Please note that orders placed over the weekend, between midday Friday and midnight Sunday, will be dispatched on the following Monday (excluding Bank Holidays). Please note that the dates and time slots available are subject to the courier's availability. *Dispatch times do not start from the time of purchase, but start from when the carrier has the package. Whilst the stated dispatch times are not guaranteed they are accurate in most cases. Some very small items such as spare parts will be sent by Royal Mail, for which we are unable to provide tracking.

HOW LONG WILL MY DELIVERY TAKE?

The carrier will aim to deliver within 48 hours from dispatch for UK mainland addresses (excluding remote areas) when placing your order Sunday-Thursday (before midday Thursday). This is not a guaranteed delivery window, but is accurate in most cases. Tracking information can be provided for most items; this will be sent to you by email along with your order confirmation.

DO YOU DELIVER ABROAD?

We are able to ship selected products abroad, but we would expect you to cover the costs of delivery. Unfortunately, we are currently unable to ship products overseas when purchased via our website. To obtain a delivery quote, please contact us.

HOW WILL MY ITEM BE DELIVERED?

Smaller items will be delivered by our parcel carrier. If you are not in, you will be carded for collection at your local post office. Larger items are delivered by a tracked 48-hour service. Due to the size, these items will be returned to the depot if you're not able to take delivery. Our very largest products (complete playgrounds) will be palletised and require booking in on a specific date for delivery. You will be contacted in advance to arrange the delivery; please ensure that you are able to receive the delivery on that day. A small number of our spare parts are sent by Royal Mail. Unfortunately, we are unable to provide tracking details for these items.

WHAT SHOULD I LOOK OUT FOR?

Many of our larger items are delivered in several parts, this is because of the sizes and weights of the products. Your order may include parts such as: Wood packs: These are the packs that make up the wooden parts of your toy. They are constructed and packaged very carefully so that no parts should fall out. Hardware box: The hardware box contains the nuts, bolts and screws necessary to build your toy. It may also contain accessories such as swing seats and climbing ropes. On most items, the hardware box also contains the all-important assembly instructions! On some of our smaller playcentres the hardware may be contained inside the wood pack. Slide: If your toy has one, this will arrive as a separate component. Where your item is expected to be delivered in parts, we will let you know on your delivery tracking exactly how many packages to look out for. Usually, all parts of your order should arrive in one delivery. However, occasionally couriers may deliver in split deliveries, so we ask you to kindly wait two working days before contacting us about your order.
