Please include your mobile phone number when checking out so that you automatically receive an SMS from DX Express / Royal Mail confirming that the goods have been collected from our warehouse and informing you of the expected delivery date and one-hour slot. All deliveries sent with DX Express are supplied on a signature required service. If you have asked for the parcel to left in a safe place, we will convey this instruction to the courier but cannot guarantee this will be done as the service is a POD service and items left without signature are at the discretion of the driver. Please note that DX Express may use sub-contract transport companies - we cannot therefor guarantee that specific instructions, especially requests for the driver to call beforehand, will be carried out. Please bear in mind that these drivers often have a hundred or more deliveries to make in one day!
NB. We cannot be held responsible for delays in delivery caused by the Courier.
If the customer requests delivery to be left in a 'safe place' we cannot be held responsible for loss.
Carriage / Packing charges are subsidised and do not even cover our own net costs - we do not make a profit on carriage!
