Please note
The driver only has a legal obligation to offload the goods onto the roadside and in turn the liability and responsibility of the goods then passes to the customer.
However, at playbark.com we contract with reputable and obliging transport Companies whose drivers will endeavour to place the pallet into your driveway as long as the surface is of sound makeup such as concrete, paving or tarmac.
PLEASE BE AWARE THAT THE PALLET TRUCK CANNOT PASS OVER GRAVEL OR ANY TYPE OF ROUGH TERRAIN AND SIMILARLY THE DRIVER CANNOT BE EXPECTED TO PULL THE GOODS UP OR DOWN A SLOPING DRIVEWAY OR OVER CURBS.
