Do I need to be at the store when you collect from St Albans?▼
No — send us your paid order confirmation and collection reference. We'll show ID and the reference at the customer collection point.
Can you take it upstairs or into the room?▼
Yes on the two-man service — flag it at booking. On a one-man run, we deliver to the ground-floor threshold as standard.
What if my Ikea order doesn't fit in the van you sent?▼
Tell us the item names/pack numbers upfront and we'll size the van correctly. We'd rather send a Luton and be safe than turn up short.

Can I open a business account?▼
Yes. 5-minute application, subject to credit check. Book against a PO, get one consolidated invoice per month, 30-day terms.
How fast can you collect?▼
