Shipping

Evans & Reid uses a variety of shipping methods to ensure as prompt a delivery as possible.

The majority of our shipments are sent on “Next Day” services where geographically possible, unless otherwise agreed with the customer. However, the use of a “Next Day” service is in no way a guarantee that the order will be with the recipient the following working day as there are many factors that can affect the carriers ability to complete the delivery (including but not limited to Weather, Traffic, Mis-Routes, Address Issues, Drivers Hours, Vehicle Breakdowns etc). Refunds and/or discounts will not normally be offered unless there are exceptional circumstances.

Any upgrades and or re-delivery charges may be passed on to the customer at the discretion of Evans & Reid.

Leave Safe

If you request that your delivery is “Left Safe” i.e. without a recipient present, please note;

Evans & Reid accepts no responsibility for missing/lost/damaged items once proof of delivery to the correct location is established.

Authorisation to leave safe should be given at the time of ordering, deliveries often cannot be changed/amended once they have been shipped.

Detailed descriptions of requested leave safe locations cannot always be passed onto the carriers, some use a simple tick box functionality where it is then at the driver’s discretion where (and if) to leave the delivery. (The carriers are not directly employed by Evans & Reid, and we are in turn, bound to their Terms & Conditions).

Calls Ahead

Evans & Reid use a number of different carrier companies depending on the type and size of item(s) being shipped, we have no direct control over the end delivery and cannot guarantee that drivers will “ring 20 minutes before”, if requested to do so, or complete other similar requests.
