Delivery and Returns
Delivery Information for Hire Items (UK Only)
CAS-Hire’s delivery and collection service is very often carried out by third party couriers. We aim complete deliveries usually within next working day service between Monday – Friday based on orders received before 1500hrs and subject to equipment availability.
CAS-Hire endeavour to recycle and reuse packaging wherever possible therefore items will be delivered encased in specialist packaging or pallets including reusable banding and buckles that our customers are expected to retain so that the equipment can be reused and returned safely and securely. There is an additional charge to supply additional packaging should original delivery packaging or pallets are disregarded.
Our third party couriers generally deliver our equipment before noon when possible unless customers specifically requested for premium rate designated AM deliveries however collections of equipment are almost always completed after 12 noon and can be planned to be within a 3-4 hour collection slot. Optional Specialist designated driver delivery services, Saturday deliveries and additional equipment set up services are also available as chargeable extra services over and above our standard carriage rates.
Very often return courier labels are also enclosed within the packaging of smaller hire items which must be saved and reused by removing and replacing the delivery labels to allow the couriers to direct the equipment to the appropriate off hire service centre when returning goods.
