Quick question,

I'm having my new shed delivered tomorrow by courier.
The guys only have a tail lift, and the pallets weigh half a tonne.

Am I ok to have it delivered onto the pavement in front of the house and leave it there till the evening ?

Or is it asking for trouble etc ?

presumably delivered implies get it onto you'r property? at least get them to help it onto the drive

if they only have a tail lift they will struggle to drag a half ton pallet off the tail lift onto the pavement.

assuming they have a pallet truck with them get them to put it where you want it.

you dont have a silly silly gravel drive do you?

I've no drive, I've got hedge all round. ๐Ÿ™„
My garage is round the corner on another street.

They don't have a hoist, so they can't get it up and over the hedge,
And yeah I really do hope they have a pallet truck !

Mrs Cale is going to be signing for the delivery, so I need to make sure she has a clear plan !

You may be charged with obstructing the highway by the police and or local; council jobs worths,
the pallets may be to big for the pavement and also block the road, is therere space for the delivery driver to park up too unload, with a pallet truck theyre only designed o go over height of about 1 inch or smaller, not a curb, so delivery may be a problem, anyway if its from a major diy retailer, itll be there in the next few weeks in bits, with bits missing, as is per usual, despite what they say about delivery times.
