(Pallet collections can only be booked in on days when our site contractors are on site all day). It is especially important that you advise your Pallet company of the open/closing times on site when booking this in as they are notorious for arriving late and then charging clients for an aborted collection - Please also ensure that they are given your invoice number/customer name as we may have several pallet companies attending site on the same day. 
• It is also the buyer’s responsibility to send in the correct size vehicle.  We appreciate that it may be difficult to judge vehicle space, however, where vehicles are sent in that are clearly not suitable/large enough to load the machinery purchased, there may be a £100 fee to cover staff/resources in getting equipment out ready for a booked collection, moving equipment out of the way for other collections, and then pulling equipment out again at a future date.
