The cost of delivery for our plastic storage boxes, containers, pallets, and crates can vary depending on several factors, including the quantity of goods ordered, the size and weight of the items, and the delivery postcode. Smaller orders may be sent via standard courier services at a lower rate, while larger or bulk orders that require pallets will have costs adjusted accordingly. We always aim to provide the most competitive delivery prices by working with trusted carriers across the UK. Before completing your order, our team will confirm the delivery charge so there are no hidden surprises. If you require a specific delivery option, such as next-day service or timed delivery slots, please let us know and we will do our best to accommodate. For larger businesses or repeat orders, we may also be able to offer reduced rates on shipping.

We aim to make delivery as fast and efficient as possible. In most cases, goods are dispatched promptly after receipt of payment and will reach customers within 2 to 3 working days throughout the UK. Delivery times may vary slightly depending on the size of your order, the courier used, and your exact location. For example, orders being delivered to remote areas of Scotland, Northern Ireland, or offshore islands may take a little longer. If you require urgent delivery, we can arrange faster options, such as next-day delivery, subject to availability and additional cost. All items are carefully packed to ensure they arrive in perfect condition, and you will be kept updated with tracking details once your order has been shipped. If you are placing a large or bespoke order, our team will provide a more precise timeframe based on the items and delivery method chosen.

We take great care in making sure your plastic boxes, containers, and pallets are shipped quickly, safely, and at the best possible price. To achieve this, we partner with a number of reliable carriers who are specialists in transporting both small and bulkier items. Depending on the size and weight of your order, goods may be shipped using well-known logistics providers such as Palletforce, Greyhound Transport, or Parcelforce. Smaller consignments may be delivered via parcel networks, while larger palletised orders are sent through trusted haulage companies to ensure they arrive securely. We always strive to balance cost-effectiveness with speed, so you get the best value without compromising on service. Each order is packed carefully to reduce the risk of damage in transit, and where possible, we provide tracking details for full visibility of your delivery. If you have a preferred shipping method, please contact us to discuss available options.

Yes, we carry stock of a wide range of items, particularly those featured on our special offer page. These products are held in our warehouse and can often be dispatched quickly, making them ideal for customers who need fast turnaround times. However, as we supply a large variety of plastic storage solutions, from small containers to heavy-duty pallets, some items may be made to order or restocked on a rolling basis. Stock availability can also depend on colour choice, customisation requirements, and the time of year, especially during peak demand periods. If you have a specific product in mind, we recommend contacting us to check availability before placing your order. Our team will always confirm stock levels and lead times to ensure you know exactly when your goods will be dispatched. For bulk and repeat orders, we can often reserve stock in advance to guarantee availability when you need it.

The time it takes to update or manufacture products in specific colours depends largely on factory scheduling and overall demand at the time of your order. In busy production periods, such as peak seasons, lead times may be slightly longer, while during quieter times, coloured items may be produced more quickly. Standard stocked colours are often available for immediate dispatch, but custom colours or less common options may take longer as they need to be manufactured to order. As this can vary, we always advise customers to contact us directly for the most accurate lead time. If you are working to a deadline or need coloured containers for a particular project, please let us know in advance and we will do our best to accommodate your requirements. Our team maintains regular communication with the factories to provide you with up-to-date information on availability and production schedules.

Yes, the vast majority of our products are manufactured using food-grade materials, making them safe and suitable for use across all industries, including food handling and preparation. Unless otherwise stated, we use PP (polypropylene) and PE (polyethylene) in virgin format, which ensures the highest standard of safety, cleanliness, and compliance. These materials are widely trusted in the food industry because they are non-toxic, easy to clean, and resistant to absorbing odours or contaminants. In addition to food use, our products are suitable for industries such as retail, pharmaceuticals, healthcare, agriculture, logistics, and manufacturing. The durability of these plastics also makes them ideal for repeated use in demanding environments. If you need containers for direct food contact, chilled storage, or hygienic separation, our range is designed to meet those needs. For specific compliance requirements or certification requests, please contact our team, and we will be happy to provide the necessary details.

Both PE (polyethylene) and PP (polypropylene) are high-quality thermoplastics that we use in manufacturing our containers, crates, and pallets. PE is a tough, rigid, and harder thermoplastic with excellent durability, particularly at lower temperatures. It is resistant to impact, making it ideal for applications where goods need protection in colder environments. PP, on the other hand, is a co-polymer thermoplastic known for its excellent impact resistance, shape retention, and smooth, hard surface finish. It performs very well in a variety of industries, including food handling, logistics, and heavy-duty storage. Both materials are lightweight yet strong, making them practical and reliable choices for both domestic and industrial use. The choice between PE and PP often comes down to the intended application and the environment in which the container will be used. If you are unsure which material best suits your requirements, our team is always happy to provide expert advice.

Yes, both PE (polyethylene) and PP (polypropylene) are highly versatile materials with well-defined temperature ranges that make them suitable for a wide variety of applications. PE performs effectively in temperatures ranging from -30°C to +60°C, meaning it remains tough and durable even in freezing conditions. This makes it an excellent choice for cold storage, chilled transport, or outdoor environments where items may be exposed to lower temperatures. PP, by comparison, is compatible with slightly higher ranges, functioning well from -20°C to +80°C. This makes it particularly suitable for applications where goods may be exposed to warmer conditions, while still maintaining excellent impact resistance and surface durability. Because of these ranges, both materials are commonly used across industries such as food handling, logistics, and manufacturing. If you need containers for use in extreme conditions or specialist environments, we recommend contacting our team for tailored advice on the best material.
