Certain items will incur a shipping surcharge, this is stated on the product descriptions where possible. For Highlands & Islands, a shipping surcharge will normally occur.

Large deliveries (Pallets and DPD Freight Service)

Larger sized orders may be shipped by Pallet Courier or DPD Freight Service. For pallets shipped on a wooden pallet or by crate, we will send you an email after you have placed your order stating the following;
“As your order is fairly large it will be shipped out with our specialist pallet couriers so it will work slightly differently compared to a normal order. As the order is so large it is a kerbside drop only, the driver will not be able to dismantle the pallet or move it into any residence or building like a door to door courier can.

We'll dispatch your order as quickly as we can. The delivery will require a signature upon delivery so as soon as your order reaches the local delivery depot they will contact you on (tel number) to arrange delivery on a suitable day Monday to Friday, so please ensure this number is correct.

When they call please inform them of any issues which may cause their trucks an issue like narrow access roads, low bridges, security gates etc as this may cause a delay in receiving your order on the chosen delivery date.

If you have a specific day in mind you can let us know now by replying to this email and we'll send the details onto the couriers.

Should there be any issues with the delivery at all, or any of your contact details are not correct please let us know.”


If you have any questions/concerns before placing a large order relating to the above, please do not hesitate to contact support@strengthshop.co.uk

Certain large single items are sent by DPD Freight. If this applies to your order you will receive an email stating the following;
“Due to the size/weight of your order it has been shipped out on a specialist freight service with DPD. DPD will keep you up to date with all your delivery details as best they can however this service can sometimes run into a two or three day service as some delivery depots do not have the resources to deliver this service daily.

In addition the driver may on occasion require assistance to move the parcel hence there will always have to be someone present at the delivery address when they arrive to sign for the order.

If you'd like an update on the status of your delivery at any time please let us know and we can look into it for you.”


If you have any questions ahead of placing a large order, please contact support@strengthshop.co.uk.
