Where do you deliver to?

We deliver to UK mainland as standard. This does not include Northern Ireland, Scottish Islands and Highlands, Channel Isles, Isle of Man, Isle of White, Scilly Isles, Republic of Ireland. Services for these regions range from 1-5 days delivery. Delivery cost for your items to these regions can be quoted separately. Please get in touch via our Contact Page or email us on sales@thecompostablecupcompany.co.uk.

Delivery Carbon Footprint

Please note that our carriers vary depending on the products you have ordered. We draw different products from different warehouses and some orders can be delivered by multiple carriers. This results in a lesser carbon footprint and faster turnaround than shipping everything to a central warehouse before routing the consignment on for the final delivery, reducing the number of miles travelled by each product. Every little bit we can do to reduce our carbon footprint helps and our commitment to the environment is at the heart of all that we do. More about our Sustainability Policy here. 

Kerbside/Shopfont Delivery

We, like our competitors offer kerbside delivery as standard. Our delivery couriers (or transport companies for larger equipment) can only deliver kerbside as a rule. Drivers are not required to deliver goods to storerooms, or different floors within businesses.

On larger equipment that we supply we can offer further delivery options and/or installation options if required. These must be discussed in advance and in some cases require a site survey.

Delivery hours are 9am to 6pm. Timed deliveries with shorter windows may be possible, and if required please contact us to discuss.

Failed or aborted deliveries may incur additional charges which we must pass on to you unless the error is our fault.. If in doubt please do contact us to discuss in advance. Please get in touch via our contact page or email us on sales@thecompostablecupcompany.co.uk.
