How do you book a collection?

Ring the sales team on +44 (0)20 8900 9400 or send the form above with the depot, the item and roughly when you want to come. We confirm the stock position, put the order together and give you a slot. Neither site runs a walk-in counter, so the phone call is what turns a journey into a collection rather than a wasted afternoon.

Two things are worth settling on that call. First, whether the item is a stock line or made to order — bespoke footprints, colours and specifications are manufactured against the order and will not be sitting on a rack. Second, what you are driving. A 1200×1200 footprint loads very differently from an 800×1200 one, and the answer decides whether a van will do or you need a flatbed.

What should you bring with you?

A short call before you set off settles all five of these.
Bring Why it matters
Your order reference The goods are picked in advance against it
The load weight the pallet has to carry Decides the weight class before anything else does
Your racking type and beam spacing A rackable rating only means something against a specific support arrangement
The footprint of your existing pallets Mixing footprints creates handling and storage problems later
Details of the handling equipment Underside clearance and foot layout have to suit the truck you already run

What can you inspect while you are there?

This is the part that does not translate to a photograph. Deck pattern, foot layout, whether the underside clears a particular pallet truck, how a lip behaves against an existing conveyor, how heavy an empty feels when someone has to move it by hand — these are judged by picking a pallet up, not by reading a specification sheet. For a first order, or an unfamiliar application, an hour at the depot usually saves a return delivery later.

If a specification question comes up, the sales team can raise it with the people who handle the product daily rather than relaying it. Say when you book that you are coming to look rather than to load, so the right samples are out.

Which site holds what you need?

Both depots stock the same product families, so the choice is usually about distance rather than availability. Wembley is the right call for London, the South East and the Thames Valley; Coventry for the Midlands, the North and the South West. Where a specialist line matters — electrostatic-dissipative decks, or export and lightweight stock for the airport corridor — ask on the call, because depth of stock does vary between the sites.

The UK delivery locations page lists every area we cover and names the serving depot for each. If a visit is not practical, everything available for collection can be delivered instead, quoted against your postcode and site access.

Is it worth visiting at all if you only want a price?

Usually not. A price needs five things — load weight, footprint, whether it goes into racking, whether it comes back to you, and the delivery postcode — and all five travel perfectly well by email. Visits earn their keep when the decision is physical: an unfamiliar specification, a pallet that has to work with equipment you already own, or a switch from timber where you want to handle the alternative before committing a volume order. For anything else, the quote form is quicker.

What should you know before visiting?

Do I need to book before collecting?

Yes. Call the sales team on +44 (0)20 8900 9400 before travelling so the goods can be confirmed as in stock and picked ready for you. Turning up without arranging it risks a wasted journey, particularly for non-stock sizes.

Which depot should I go to?

Wembley for London, the South East and the Thames Valley. Coventry for the Midlands, the North and the South West. If your postcode falls between the two, call and we will tell you which site holds what you need.

Can I see the pallets before I order?

Yes, and it is worth doing for a first order or an unfamiliar specification. Deck pattern, foot layout and underside clearance are much easier to judge in person than from a photograph, especially if the pallet has to work with existing handling equipment.

Is there a trade counter?

Both sites handle trade collection by arrangement rather than operating a walk-in counter. Arrange the collection by phone and the order will be ready when you arrive.

Can I have goods delivered instead?

Yes. Delivery is quoted with the order based on destination, quantity, footprint and site access. The UK delivery locations page sets out which depot serves each area.

Where do these figures come from?

  1. The GLA Roads Designation Order 2000 — SI 2000/1117. The Schedule designates the A406 between the A4 Great West Road and the A1 Great North Way as a GLA road, placing that stretch on the Transport for London Road Network.
  2. The West Midlands Combined Authority (Functions and Amendment) Order 2017 — SI 2017/510, Schedule 1. Places the A45 Kenpas Highway / Fletchamstead Highway on the West Midlands Key Route Network, with Coventry City Council as local highway authority.
