What is the best way to contact you?

Discussing a quote or giving details of your delivery requirements can given by phone or email. We are always ready to discuss any aspect of a job so please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Where do you deliver?

Furnells primarily deliver in the UK, including Northern Ireland and the islands. The number of deliveries we make abroad have become less frequent since Brexit but we are happy to assist with information required to manage the paperwork for this.

What vehicle sizes do you have?

The fleet incorporates artic tractor units with sideloader / box / curtain sided trailers, through to 18t, 16t, 7.5t, 3.5t Luton box and a Peugeot Expert small van for smaller consignments. We also hire from our trusted partners when additional vehicles are needed.

How can I track my consignment?

We are currently in the process of moving to a new transport management system which will make tracking of the delivery process easier and in real time. At present our office team are always contactable and inform customers of any changes to a delivery ETA by phone or by email.

Do you give proof of delivery?

Upon delivery of your consignment, our drivers currently obtain a physical signature wherever possible. This will be included with your invoice (or sent separately via email if urgently required). Digital signatures will be available more instantly when our new transport management system is up and running.

Do you deliver pallets?

We often work alongside a pallet network for any pallet deliveries. We can group deliveries in an area efficiently to reduce costs or add them to a national service on your behalf. For dedicated, assured handling our fleet and experienced drivers can be specified on your order.
