Products are despatched direct to the customer from Grassline or an approved supplier.
Standard despatch time for most products is next working day for orders received and paid for by 12 noon each day. Saturdays and Sundays and official UK Bank Holidays are NOT defined as working days. Delivery of some transfer line markers may take a little longer as may pallet deliveries.
The published prices are for UK mainland deliveries. For delivery costs to the Scottish Highlands and Islands, Isle of White, Isle of Man and Northern Ireland, please contact our office.
You must notify us of the delivery point at the time of ordering the products. Furthermore, you must notify us of any matters which may affect access to the delivery point, such as (but not limited to) narrow roads, tight corners, weight limit roads, low bridges, steep driveways or hills.

If you order a pallet quantity delivery, delivered on a pallet, again you must notify us of any matters which may effect access to the delivery point, bearing in mind that a pallet will generally be delivered on a larger vehicle where access restriction is even more important. Again, any matters which may effect delivery should be notified by calling us on 01924 403344.
Unless we are advised to the contrary, all deliveries will be left without a signature round the back of the house if no one is present to sign for the delivery or left on the drive in the case of a pallet delivery.
If this not convenient, then someone must be present to accept and then move the delivery after signing for it.
We will make every effort to deliver products ordered on the agreed date but, if for any reason that we (or our approved supplier) are unable to deliver, then no liability will fall to us; whether in damages or otherwise, for delay of whole or any part of the goods ordered arising from any cause whatsoever.
Delivery will be completed when we deliver the Products to the address you gave us.
If you have requested that your Products must be signed for and if no one is available at your chosen address to take delivery, our carriers will leave you a card explaining that the Products have been returned to a delivery depot, in which case, please contact the number on the card to rearrange delivery.
If you have requested that your Product/s need not be signed for, you must provide instructions as to where to leave the Products. No responsibility can be taken for goods after being left as instructed.
