Who are Palletways?

Delivery Guidelines

Delivering goods on a pallet is very different from any other type of delivery you may receive, such as parcels or packages. It takes more tools and equipment and does carry some risk to our drivers.

Therefore, our delivery rules are governed by Health & Safety guidelines, for the benefit of both our drivers and our customers so that you receive the highest quality service in the safest manner possible. • Our Pallet deliveries ARE made to a kerbside location • We NEED to deliver on solid, flat surfaces to facilitate safe pump truck operation • We WILL deliver to ground level locations only • We CANNOT deliver pallets on steep inclines For more information on how we deliver please visit www.palletways.com/pallet-delivery-services For any queries please contact us on customer_care@palletways.com

Ryan from depot 20 delivered my TransK9 dog crate today. When it arrived, it was clear we were not going to get it through the front door. We unpacked it in the hope that we could, but unfortunately it was still a no. Ryan didn’t want to just leave it as it was and suggested we put it in my car. He helped me get it in the boot, taking great care not to damage my car in the process. I am extremely grateful I had Ryan helping and working with me and I wasn’t just left. Top guy, a perfect gentleman and a real asset to Palletways.

Outright racist delivery driver!

I had a very disappointing experience with Palletways. My large pallet delivery was left on the road by the driver, which was both unsafe and inconvenient. I politely asked him several times if he could help move the items onto the pavement, but he refused outright.

What made the situation even more upsetting was what happened next. As I went to ask my neighbour for help, she — a white British woman — asked the driver the same thing, and he immediately agreed and moved the items without hesitation. As someone of Indian heritage who wears a headscarf, I found this difference in treatment deeply concerning and hard to ignore.

This experience felt disrespectful and unfair. I would expect a basic level of professionalism and equal treatment for all customers. Unfortunately, this was not reflected in my interaction, and it has left me very dissatisfied with the service.
