Heavy and Bulky
Bricks are a heavy and bulky item to deliver. The size and weight of bricks means the cost of delivery is typically
higher than most other e-commerce websites. When delivering heavy and bulky items the cost of delivery is determined
by the quantity ordered and the distance the goods must travel from source to your required destination.
How Brickhunter Prices Delivery
Because the delivery cost is so sensitive to the quantity you require and distance travelled we calculate the delivery
price individually for every brick on our website, for the quantity you require to the postcode you specify.
We will always calculate the cheapest possible delivery price, however there is usually more than one option available
for us to deliver your bricks. To view these options click 'Add To Shopping Trolley' on the brick page, and you will get
a list of all available options. The different options will either allow you to get your bricks earlier or allow you
select the most appropriate delivery vehicle.
If you have any questions or require a type of delivery that the
website does not have available then please give us a call and speak to one of our brick experts.
