Delivery Details

JT Atkinson & Sons Ltd offer competitive prices to both retail and trade customers alike, our aim is to provide you with a pleasant online shopping experience that will make you want to shop with us again and again. We have an extensive online product catalogue with many products that you probably would not expect a traditional builders' merchant to keep in stock. We have been established for over 150 years and the company is still being run by a “Mr. Atkinson” - 6th Generation Edwin Atkinson.

We already have an enviable reputation within the construction industry throughout our extensive coverage of branches in Cumbria, North Yorkshire and the North East and strive to replicate this level of professionalism and expertise with our on-line sales.


Deliveries

Our normal delivery days are Monday to Friday excluding Bank Holidays, in most cases your item(s) will be dispatched same day providing we receive your order by 2pm. We use reliable carriers such as FedEx, the Royal Mail and Parcelforce and typically you can expect your item to arrive within 3 working days. However on rare occasions your delivery may take longer due to factors beyond our control.


On-line Delivery Charges

Unless stated otherwise, the price for items ordered online will be shipped excluding carriage charges, and at the checkout you will be presented with various postage options, depending on the item(s) ordered. These choices will be clearly shown as Next Day Delivery, Timed Delivery, Saturday Delivery etc.

If your order has been shipped on a pallet e.g. boilers and cement mixers, there may be a redelivery charge if you are not available during your booked delivery slot.


Bulk Goods Deliveries (Local Delivery Only)

Goods that are too heavy or bulky to be shipped using carriers (bulk aggregate bags, sheet timber, plasterboards etc.) can be delivered from our network of branches.

Although we will always endeavor to offload your goods in your desired location this may not always be possible due to safety or other concerns i.e. fully loaded wagons would cause severe damage to residential driveways. Our drivers are not able to handball off materials for customers as the wagons often cannot be left unattended but will crane off all goods and will aim to make delivery to the safest and nearest practical place. Our drivers are fully trained and will use their professional judgement on the safety of delivering on to a particular area of a site.

If you are concerned about access to the site or think it may be a problem for our wagons please make contact with us (help@jtatkinson.co.uk) at the time of ordering to let us know so that we can check the approach before attempting delivery.
