Delivery Services

At Renewable Energy Supplies we have put together a specialist logistics team who are responsible for supporting our clients both in the UK and overseas. As a sustainable company we strive to ensure our delivery services are as environmentally friendly as possible and use route-planning and scheduling and low-emission vehicles.

The delivery services available for clients range from courier-based door-to-door shipments from our warehouse to specialist logistic services to support shipments up to several tonnes in weight. All standard deliveries are priced for a ground floor and easy access delivery. If this is not the case at your site we recommend a site survey.

Door-to-Door Deliveries (D3)

This is a courier-based service that operates throughout the UK and mainland Europe providing shipment for packages, boxes and small palletised deliveries. We book the shipment into the courier network and the item is transported to a regional hub from where it is distributed to the customer site, usually in a smaller vehicle such as a van, Luton or curtain-sided vehicle.

  • Courier ‘boxed services’: provide a kerbside delivery to ‘goods in’ or the front door of your building. The consignment may consist of one or two boxes or more and be subject to a ‘one-person-lift’ limit under the health & safety manual handling procedures on your site. Please ensure someone is available to receive the goods and sign for them.
  • Courier ‘pallet services’: with the consignment secured onto Euro pallets and possibly shrink wrapped. A larger delivery vehicle may be used and the pallets may require off-loading facilities including a pallet truck or fork lift. Please ensure someone is available to receive the goods and sign for them.

The D3 service can be booked for specific delivery times including: within the next working day, pre-12pm, pre 10am, pre 9am and Saturday deliveries. Prices are shown on the ecommerce side of our website or on a formal quotation if requested.

Please note that for larger weights and/or palletised deliveries, the receiving site may require off-loading facilities such as a forklift truck. We can by arrangement ensure we use a delivery vehicle with its own off-loading and take-to-site equipment.

Post Office services may be used for small items and documentation.

Delivery, Siting and Positioning (DSP)

This is a more comprehensive delivery service that includes can include delivery via a tailgate wagon for easy off-loading or a vehicle with its own off-loading and take-to-site equipment. The delivery team will normally include trolleys to help move the equipment to the site and place it into a final position for connection and commissioning. If pre-booked our delivery team can unpack the goods and remove the packaging for recycling.

The DSP service is a complete delivery to point-of-final-usage service and is available for next working day, pre-12pm, pre 10am, pre 9am and weekend (Saturday/Sunday) deliveries. Prices are shown on the ecommerce side of our website or on a formal quotation if requested.

Unless specified the following conditioners will apply:

  • Delivery is accepted during normal working hours and that the road route is unobstructed and suitable for an 18 tonne delivery vehicle.
  • The delivery route is unobstructed with level ground floor access with a minim of 2100mm height clearance and 1000m access width.
  • Aborted deliveries due to access issues are charged for at full delivery price.

Logistics Site Surveys

We recommend a survey by a member of our logistics team for more complex deliveries which can include the use of stairs or a lift for access or where the delivery route itself may require specialist care such as a marble or wooden floor. We can also arrange for equipment to be craned into place and co-ordinate the delivery with local councils and blue-light services for permits.

Delivery Tracking

Dependent upon the delivery service and vehicle used we can provide track deliveries through our distribution network and provide a tracking number as required.

Overseas and Off-shore Deliveries

On our ecommerce website we provide options for countries we can deliver to using our door-to-door services and courier network. For sites not on the European mainland or outside Europe we can provide a shipment cost including air and sea freight services, packing, documents and containerisation.

Power-on Services

Renewable Energy Supplies can arrange your delivery and provide a complete connection and commission service known as ‘Power-on’. This will include a general operational run-through and handover to site. Electrical works can also be arranged through our electrical services team.
