Delivering the goods

Great Universal give you a range of home delivery options - so you can enjoy more choice

Standard Delivery

If you decide not to use our Next Day or Specified Day services, place your internet order before 10am and most small items will be delivered FREE within 48 hours* subject to stock and courier availability. Please note that some items are delivered direct from our supplier and may take longer to arrive. We will inform you of this when you place your order.

Next Day Delivery

If you have previously placed an order with us we can guarantee delivery of most small items and some larger items the next day for an additional charge of £2.95 if you order before 12 noon. Order before 12 noon Monday to Thursday and most items will be delivered the following day. If you order on a Friday, the goods will be delivered on Monday as delivery is not available on weekends and public holidays. To benefit from this service, order in the normal way and then select your chosen delivery day during the 'arrange delivery' section in checkout. This service is only available for items that we know are 'In Stock' at your local warehouse.

Specified Day Delivery

Great Universal can now guarantee that most items will be delivered on the day of your choice within the next 5 working days for just £2.95.* For example, order on Monday and you can choose to receive delivery from Wednesday to the following Monday (excluding Saturday and Sunday). This service is subject to stock and courier availability.

Delivery to a different address

If you would like a parcel to be left with a neighbour, in a safe place such as a garage or outhouse or delivered to an alternative address for specific orders or on a permanent basis, please email the Customer Services Team or call our Order Line on 0800 0922 622.
If you would like a specific order delivered to an alternative address, complete the details during checkout.

Stock Availability

A stock check is run each night to determine the availability of each item. If an item or option (such as a particular size) is sold out it will say as such within the item details. Unfortunately an item may go out of stock during the day, should this happen after you have submitted your order then you will be contacted, as soon as possible, by one of our Customer Service Advisers. If an item is not available, we may send a substitute of equal or greater value which you can return free of charge if it is unacceptable.
Delivery times for each item will be shown in your shopping basket. Items indicated as 'In Stock' will normally be delivered within 48 hours.*
