We do deliver to Northern Ireland addresses, however, customers will be asked at order checkout to declare that any products ordered to Northern Ireland are ‘not at risk’ from moving into the European Union (EU). Should you require products to be delivered to Ireland then please use the Best Heating Ireland website at www.bestheating.ie.

How will my order be delivered?

Orders are delivered either as parcels or on pallets.

Parcels are normally delivered to door. Parcel delivery drivers may leave parcels with a neighbour, leave in a safe place or deliver to a local collection point; either at a local depot or shop, if no-one is available to take delivery at the specified address.

Pallets are normally used for very large, heavy or fragile items and when the number of items on an order makes delivery more efficient via a pallet service

Pallet deliveries are made to an accessible kerbside location on firm ground near to the delivery address.

Should you not wish to receive your items on a pallet as standard then please select the two-person delivery service where it is available.

The two-person delivery service provides delivery over the threshold of a front entrance into your home (e.g. into a hallway or a garage).
