Delivery & Shipping Policy

How Boldon Auto delivers caravans, trailers, mini excavators, shipping containers, cabins and parts across the UK — delivery cost, timescales, tracking, large-item delivery and what to do if something goes wrong.

Last updated: September 2026

01

Delivery cost

Delivery is free on every order to a UK mainland address (England, Scotland and Wales). There is no delivery charge at checkout and none added afterwards, whatever the size, weight or number of items in your order.

For the Scottish Highlands and Islands, Northern Ireland, the Isle of Man, the Isles of Scilly and the Channel Islands, please contact us before ordering. Ferry crossings and specialist transport can be needed, and we'll confirm the arrangements with you in writing first.

You can also collect free of charge by appointment.

02

Handling time & delivery time

Parts, covers & accessories1–3 working days1–3 working daysFree
Box, utility & camper trailers2–5 working daysDate agreed with youFree
Caravans & horse trailers3–7 working daysDate agreed with youFree
Mini excavators3–7 working daysDate agreed with youFree
Shipping containers & cabins3–10 working daysDate agreed with youFree

Working days are Monday to Friday, excluding UK bank holidays. Handling time starts once your payment has cleared. Orders confirmed before 1pm on a working day enter that day's preparation queue; later orders, and orders placed at weekends or on bank holidays, start the next working day. Made-to-order or imported units can take longer — we confirm the date in writing before anything is dispatched.

03

Order tracking & updates

Parts and accessories are sent with a tracked courier and you'll receive a tracking email when your order is dispatched. For caravans, trailers, excavators, containers and cabins we call or email to agree a delivery day and time window, and the driver contacts you on the day.

If you haven't heard from us within 5 working days of your payment clearing, please get in touch with your order number.

04

Large & heavy items

Caravans, horse and utility trailers, mini excavators, containers and cabins are delivered by specialist transport: a tow vehicle, low-loader, tilt-bed or HIAB crane lorry depending on the item. Before your delivery day please make sure:

  • An adult aged 18 or over is present to receive the delivery and sign for it
  • The lorry or tow vehicle can reach the drop-off point on a firm, hard surface
  • You've told us about narrow lanes, gates, weight or height limits, steep slopes or soft ground
  • For containers and cabins, the base is firm and level and there are no overhead cables or trees in the lifting area
  • You have any landowner consent or planning permission your site needs

Units are placed at the agreed drop-off point; we can't position them where it isn't safe to do so. If the driver can't unload safely, or nobody is present at an agreed delivery, we'll rearrange with you — a charge may apply for a second attempt, and we'll always tell you the amount first.

Collecting and towing it yourself? Check your licence entitlement, your vehicle's towing limit against the unit's MTPLM, and that you have the correct towing electrics and mirrors. Send us your vehicle details and we'll check before you travel.
05

Checking your delivery

Please inspect everything before signing and note any visible damage on the delivery note. Report any damage within 48 hours with photographs to orders@boldonauto.com, and we'll arrange a repair, replacement or refund. Ownership passes to you once payment is received in full, and risk passes on delivery or collection. This does not affect your statutory rights.

06

Missing or delayed deliveries

If a tracked parcel hasn't arrived by its expected date, or a large-item delivery is late, contact us and we'll open an investigation with the carrier straight away. Most cases are resolved within 5 working days. If it can't be resolved, we'll send a replacement or give you a full refund.

07

Incorrect or changed addresses

Please check your delivery address and postcode at checkout. We can change the address free of charge before dispatch — just email us with your order number. Once an item is on its way, a redirection may not be possible and any extra carrier charge will be confirmed with you first.

08

Out-of-stock items

If an item becomes unavailable after you order, we'll contact you with a revised delivery date, or you can swap it for another item or cancel. If we can't supply your order, you'll receive a full refund within 14 days.

09

Returns

You can cancel most online orders within 14 days of delivery under the Consumer Contracts Regulations. Eligible change-of-mind returns carry a 15% restocking fee; this never applies to faulty, damaged, incorrect or misdescribed goods. See our Returns & Refunds Policy for full details.
