Stock for The Grove shops and kit for offices along Leeds Road

Offices along Leeds Road and Railway Road are the simpler end when they have a yard or side access, so tell us whether yours does. The retail side is slower. The Grove and Brook Street are short-stay pay and display, three hours at most, and Brook Street sits in the conservation area with narrow pavements. A delivery there means stopping legally, unloading onto the trolley and wheeling the stock in, so an early slot before customers arrive is usually the easiest.

The jobs that suit a van are the ones a courier network turns down: a shop display unit from a supplier in Leeds, an office's furniture shuffled between floors, or a trade counter order that has to be on site before the fitters start. It is one van with 3.4m of load length and one driver, so a single booking can be anything from one box to a full van of fixtures.

Setting up an Ilkley shop or office delivery

Send the unit or shop address, any goods-in window and the booking reference the supplier's despatch desk will ask for
The A65 runs through the middle of Ilkley as Leeds Road and Skipton Road, so a mid-morning or early-afternoon slot avoids the commuter queues
Each run is booked and priced on its own, so a shop that needs stock brought up more than once gives the day and the pick-up each time
For a shop refit on Brook Street or Church Street, give the date the fitters start so the fixtures arrive the day before rather than on top of them
Goods in transit cover is £10,000 and public liability is £5 million, so tell us beforehand if a consignment is worth more

How an Ilkley business delivery is priced

Stops, loading time and how far goods are wheeled from the van decide the figure, and it is fixed before the van sets off. There is no extra charge for the run up from Bradford. See how we quote for the full breakdown.

Business & Trade Deliveries in Ilkley: your questions

Can you deliver to a shop on The Grove during the day?

Yes, from a short-stay bay if one is free, which gives up to three hours. For bigger deliveries an early start before the shop opens is easier for everyone, because the pavements are quieter and the trolley is not weaving round shoppers.

We need stock brought up from Leeds most weeks. How is that booked?

Each run is booked as its own job. Tell us the day, the pick-up and roughly what is going, and the fixed price is agreed before the van sets off. Booking a few days ahead gives the best chance of the day you want.

Does someone need to be at the shop to take the delivery?

Someone needs to be there to take it in and show where it goes. If the shop does not open until later, a member of staff meeting the van early on The Grove is the easiest way round it.

Can you move furniture between our offices?

Yes. Desks, cabinets and chairs are blanket-wrapped and strapped, and existing desks that need to come apart are dismantled and put back together at the other end.
