Delivery

We make it our business to understand your material requirements, sequencing of deliveries and any on-site handling or storing restrictions.

Our normal UK delivery time is 3-5 working days, from order through production to delivery. For urgent orders, you can request a quicker delivery. If it’s possible, we’ll do it for you! This will incur an additional carriage charge of just £60 per pallet. Overseas delivery details are available on request.
For all lead sheet orders, our minimum order weight is 500kgs for carriage paid.

For ancillaries, the minimum order is £500. Don’t worry, we’ll let you know if you’re close to the minimum order limit so that you can add a little more and take advantage of free delivery.

Orders of lead sheet that don’t meet the required carriage weight have a delivery charge of £55.00. For ancillary orders under the £500 minimum spend cap, a delivery fee of £30.00 is applied.
Our customers receive a unique Midland Lead sales reference which you can enter in the portal of our logistics partner Walkers, to track your delivery and receive real-time delivery notifications by text or email. On the day of delivery, you will receive a two-hour ETA window, as well as a copy of the signed POD once the goods have been successfully delivered.

Did you know? We offset the carbon created by all our customer deliveries, via tree planting and other renewable energy projects! We’re proud to work with Walkers and Ecologi, who share our goals of investing in a greener future.
