Points to Note:
Delivery / collection lead times
Where the selected collection location is the school, we will endeavour to deliver all orders placed before 11am on Thursday for any given week on Friday morning of that same week. However, depending on circumstances and where possible, we will endeavour to perform another delivery earlier in the week.
Where the collection location is the McCullagh & Bothwell branch, these will ordinarily be available 1-2 working days after order placement.
Where Postnet is the selected collection point, we will endeavour, together with our delivery partner, to deliver all orders placed within approx. 4-6 working days.
In any event, and irrespective of the collection location, you will receive a notification indicating when your order is ready for collection.
What happens if an order can’t be fulfilled?
If for any reason we are unable to fulfill your order in full (normally because of stock outs), someone from McCullagh & Bothwell will be in contact, so that a decision on how best to proceed can be jointly made. This process will then take place ‘offline’.
