Fencing & Gate Delivery
Thank you for ordering online. Our fence panels and gates are very popular and usually made to order. Please be aware of the current turnaround times indicated on the website.
If your order is for more than 15 panels, they will probably need to be delivered on a pallet(s). If this is the case, you will be informed prior to delivery. If you have ordered additional items with your fence panels, these may arrive separately and via a different courier.
The courier driver is unaccompanied, so he or she will need assistance unloading.
Be sure to unwrap the panels and/or gate as soon as you can. The panels and/or gate do not need to be treated straightaway.
Fence panel deliveries on a pallet
Please be aware that the courier company has a 20 minute delivery ‘window’. If a customer is not able to assist with the unloading the delivery may take longer. After 20 minutes an additional charge will be levied by the courier.
Contact information & collections
A valid contact telephone number and email address are required for a delivery to be made.
Please be aware that collections from our farm need to be booked in advance. All collections must be made Monday – Friday between the hours of 9am and 5pm. The office is closed from 10am – 10:30, and 12 – 1.30pm due to staff breaks. Saturday collections are by special appointment only, as the farm is closed. You must call us before placing your order to see if a Saturday is available.
Our team is not able to sell goods to visitors if an order has not been placed and a collection time agreed. Thank you for your understanding.
Items need to be collected within 7 days of ordering. Our working farm needs all its warehouse storage space, so customers who fail to collect an item will have their order cancelled. There may be occasions when it is not possible to visit our farm (e.g. during a pandemic).
If you have received a notification from the courier regarding your delivery date, please contact them if you need to change it. Please contact us if the order has recently been placed and the courier has NOT been in touch.
A signature is required
Items need to be signed for by someone over 18. If you aren’t going to be in, please ensure the courier has been given instructions as to where to safely leave the item(s). This is done at the risk of the customer and delivery will be deemed to have been completed. If the courier deems that there is not a safe place to leave the item(s), they will not be delivered and a redelivery fee will be applied.
Delivery times and procedures
Delivery usually takes place between 8am and 6pm Monday to Friday. If your property is difficult to access, please inform us at the time of ordering. This is particularly important in the case of large orders as panels may arrive on a pallet. Our staff will liaise with the courier to determine the best delivery option(s). In extreme cases arrangements may need to be made to collect from the courier’s local depot.
Deliveries are not made on Sundays or Bank Holidays.
Changing a delivery date
If you have received a notification from the courier regarding a delivery date, please contact them to change a delivery time. Please contact us if the order has recently been placed and the courier has NOT been in touch.

Missing deliveries
In the first instance, please call us. Please have your consignment number to hand (this is in the dispatch email).
Missing items and checking your order
Please inform us within 72 hours if an incorrect item has been delivered or items are missing from your order. It is very important to check your item(s) on delivery. Please make sure that everything that should be there is and look for any damage. The number of items due for delivery is detailed on the courier’s labelling (e.g. 1 of 4, 2 of 2) and the number of items ordered will be specified in the delivery note.
If the number of items you receive does not tally with the courier’s delivery note, write the number of items delivered by your signature. Damage must also be noted here. Be sure to cross out ‘Delivered in good condition’. Please inform us by email or telephone call of any problems with your order. If possible, take a picture of your amended delivery note as we will ask for this to help validate your claim for damages.
A signature is acceptance that the complete order has been received undamaged and in good condition.
Late deliveries
Unfortunately, this can happen. Musgrove Willows will not be held responsible for late arrival of an item(s) by a third party carrier.
Courier complaints
Customers have 7 days to register a complaint with the courier company regarding delivery damage and 21 days from date of dispatch for any other issues.
