At Lincs Aquatics, we offer various delivery methods to our customers, which allows us to ensure that your order arrives with you safely and as quickly as possible. Please see the list below of our different delivery methods.
Method 1 – Lincs Aquatics Own Delivery Vehicle Pallets & Parcels.
This method would be our preferred method to use as the delivery will be completed by our staff who know and understand our products. This delivery method can take between 1-5 Working days for delivery. Our vehicles are in certain areas on set days (see section "Lincs Aquatics LTD Own Delivery Vehicle" for more details of this method.
All orders not covered by our delivery vehicle will be dispatched on a standard delivery service which can take between 3-5 working days to arrive. You can upgrade this to next day service for £7.99 or £2.99 if you spend more than £50.
Method 2 –Parcel Delivery.
This delivery method is a mixture of Royal Mail and DHL. Items that are small enough to go into packets are sent out via Royal Mail; this is a non-tracked method. Anything larger, excluding aquariums, will be sent out by DHL and be traceable by you.
Method 3 – Pallet Delivery
This delivery method is for aquariums and cabinets due to their size and weight. These will be delivered by The Pallet Network (TPN), which will be a haulage company local to your area. Pallet Delivery is a kerbside delivery only
Any aquarium deliveries that have been pre-arranged and/or booked in with The Pallet Network (TPN) and have left our warehouse for delivery will be liable for the full cost of the return of the pallet. This will be deducted from any refunds issued to the customer.
Confirmation of the cost will be confirmed in writing.
On the odd occasion, part of your order is out of stock after you have completed your order. Our logistics team will contact you either by the number on your order or the email address to advise you that the item is out of stock.
If you would like us to dispatch the rest of your order while you wait for the other to come into stock, please let us know and we will arrange this.
By default, we will put your order on hold.
