For all products shown on our website we aim to despatch within the time shown for the individual product. If products fail to meet our high-quality check procedures, then the order may be delayed and being re-made, you will be notified by email or phone.

Our deliveries are made through our preferred couriers. Unfortunately, we have no control over the time of day a delivery may occur.

Most of our items (house signs, letterboxes, pet memorials, door furniture, the slate range) are delivered by courier and will be delivered to the given address only.

A signature is required on receipt of delivery so please provide an address (home or business) where someone will be present to accept the package.

Our carriers will attempt delivery twice and then they will deliver your parcel to the nearest pick-up shop and a calling card will be left.

We reserve the right to request any subsequent delivery cost if the order is returned to us due to a failed delivery.

returned to us due to a failed delivery.

If you know you will not be at home to receive and sign for your delivery you can let us know if you have a safe place where the parcel can be left. This is entirely at your own risk and The House Nameplate Company (or any of its couriers) will not be held responsible for any loss, damage or theft of the package. If you would like to nominate a safe place for the delivery to be left, please tell us in the 'special requirements' section of the online order process.

This may sound obvious, but if you do not currently have a house name or number on your home then our delivery drivers will not be able to find you! Please ensure you are displaying your house name or number somewhere for them to locate you even if it is written on a piece of paper and stuck in your window!

All non-UK orders will be charged according to weight and destination. Where Free Delivery is advertised on the website this applies to UK mainland only and excludes the Scottish Highlands, outlying islands and overseas. For these areas postage charges will be calculated accordingly. Please note that The House Nameplate Company does not make any profit on postage, we simply charge you what our couriers charge us.
