Can I track my delivery?

Yes, you will receive a disaptch notice once the order has been sent.  You will also receive an email and text message from our courier with live information including estimate time of delivery and collection point options etc..

Receiving Equipment

We aim to deliver a day before the hire starts given enough notice, this is free of charge to elimate any courier delays if it is not delivered before the start of the hire it will be delivered on the first day of your hire please bare this in mind when booking making sure you book to receive equipment atleast a day or two before your planned shoot incase of a delay with the courier, 95% of time it gets there on time.

At present we do not deliver outside the UK.

We prefer to deliver equipment to the address at which your card is registered. However, as proof of delivery is required in the form of a signature or photo evidence, we appreciate that this isn't always the most convenient option for everyone.  So we can deliver to a different address e.g. a workplace, if you specify a second address.

You are politely reminded that you are responsible for the equipment from the moment it is delivered, whether it is you or somebody else at the specified delivery address..

Late arrival of orders

On occasion deliveries may arrive late and late arrivals are judged by the day the courier first attempts to deliver the hired equipment at the delivery address. If an item does arrive later than the 1st day of your hire at the latest, you have three options:

  • You may cancel the hire contract and return the item immediately to us and payment will be refunded.
  • You can extend the return date to complete the original hiring period providing that the item isn't already booked by another customer.

Whatever you decide, please let us know if an item does not arrive on time.  Please make sure that you are available at the delivery address at the expected delivery time.

If items haven't arrived before 5.30pm on the day before the hire starts call us immediately on our number 01752 310 132 and we'll try track it down for you.
