Welcome to George Browns Ltd! We’re excited to have you as a customer and want to ensure you have a seamless shopping experience, including a clear understanding of our shipping practices. Please read our Shipping Policy carefully before making a purchase.

 

1. Shipping Methods and Delivery Times:

1.1 We offer a range of delivery options to suit your needs. Delivery times may vary depending on your location, the shipping method selected, and product availability. Estimated delivery times are provided at checkout and are calculated in working days (Monday to Friday, excluding weekends and bank holidays).

Standard Delivery

We aim to dispatch your order within 1–3 working days using a next-day courier service.

Store2Door Delivery

One of our machine specialists will contact you directly to arrange a convenient delivery date and time. We operate a maximum 10 working day turnaround for Store2Door ride-on mower deliveries. (Please note: commercial machines may require additional time due to build and logistical requirements.) Delivery times are excluding weekends and bank holidays.

Bulk Delivery

This delivery option applies to items weighing over 25kg or measuring over 1.5m in length. We aim to dispatch these items within 1–5 working days.

Non-Standard Delivery

If your postcode begins with BT, KW, AB, IV, PH, HS, PA, KA, or DG, delivery charges will be calculated at checkout. Due to the location, delivery times may be slightly longer because of factors such as customs procedures or courier service limitations. We aim to dispatch these orders within 1–5 working days.

Some of our products may shipped directly from the manufacturer. In these cases, delivery lead times may be extended by an additional 24–48 hours. While we will make every effort to ensure prompt delivery, we cannot accept liability for delays caused by the manufacturer or for any issues relating to the condition of goods shipped directly by them.

  • Do I have to be in when my order is delivered?

    The answer is ‘no’ however, if you are not going to be in, please let the courier know so they can either arrange a new delivery date or leave with a neighbour. We do require a signature for all of our orders.

    If the courier is unable to obtain a signature from either yourself or neighbour, they wont deliver.

    The courier will attempt to deliver 3 times, after this they will return back to George Browns.

  • Why does my delivery have brown parcel tape on it?

    We will often add parcel tape to the manufacturers boxes when we send them to you.

    The manufacturers will often send items to us palleted and without tape.

    The tape we use gives you extra security that your items will arrive in one piece!

    For clarification, these items are not used, nor are they items that have been returned to us.

  • Why isn't my order in a branded box?

    Some items such as Strimmers/Brushcutters and some other items arrive to us 2x items per box. If you order 1x item, we have to re-box the item.

    Please note – this does not mean the item is used, we only ever ship brand new products to our customers.
