Further Details

Please take time to read the key points below and the above schedules to ensure your freight arrives ‘on time and in full’ over the festive period. 

1. Palletline and local deliveries are available on both Friday 22nd December and Friday 29th December. The following arrangements apply:

2. Any freight collected between the Christmas and New Year will be delivered as booked, please note that none of the 3 Bank Holidays counts as a transit day for any shipment.

3. We strongly recommend checking that premises are open and able to accept freight for deliveries during this period. If the premises are closed there will be a charge for re-delivery.

4. Any freight collected before Christmas that should not be delivered until the 2nd January must be booked as a specific day delivery and state this in the delivery instructions.  For this time period only we will only charge economy rates for specific day bookings.

5. On Friday 22nd, Wednesday 27th, Thursday 28th and Friday 29th December 2023 the following adjustments will be made:

  • Cut off for booking freight moved forward to 1000hrs.
  • Freight must be available for collection from 1100hrs.

6. Some delivery areas, e.g. the Highlands and Islands or the Republic and Northern Ireland that require ferry crossings to make delivery will be affected during the festive period. Please contact our Sales Team if you require distribution to these areas.

7. Kings Transport and Removals’ warehouse will be closed from 1200hrs on Friday 22nd December 2023 and will reopen to take orders at 0900hrs Tuesday 2nd January 2024. During these dates orders can be placed for picking for dispatch on 2nd January. 

  • If you require any orders to be delivered between these dates then they will require picking prior to closing and therefore will have to be added to the booking portal before 1200hrs Thursday 21st December 2023.
