How We Deliver Firewood

Our Approach To Reliable Delivery


At Certainly Wood, we believe that great firewood deserves great delivery. That’s why we’ve partnered with Palletline, one of the UK’s most trusted pallet networks, to ensure every order arrives safely, efficiently, and on time.

Our customers rely on us for quality logs and dependable service, and we take pride in making sure your delivery experience matches the high standards of our firewood.

Working with Palletline: Experience You Can Trust

Palletline is a national delivery network specialising in moving palletised goods securely across the UK. By working with them, we can offer:
  • Reliable nationwide coverage – free delivery on bulk orders across mainland UK.
  • Tracked deliveries – so you always know when your order will arrive.
  • Professional handling – drivers trained to safely unload and position heavy firewood pallets.
Each pallet is securely wrapped and checked before leaving our site. From there, it travels through Palletline’s network and is delivered straight to your home, handled with the same care we take when producing our logs.

What is kerbside delivery?

Kerbside delivery means that your order will be unloaded and left at the nearest safe point to your property, typically your driveway entrance or directly outside on a firm, level surface. Drivers use a manual pallet truck to move the pallet after lowering it from the lorry using a tail lift.

Because pallet trucks can only roll on hard, flat ground, they can’t operate on:
  • Gravel or loose stones
  • Steep inclines
  • Soft or uneven ground
  • Steps or raised kerbs
For this reason, the driver will unload as close as possible to your property while ensuring the pallet remains stable and accessible for you to move once delivered.

Why is kerbside delivery, the standard?

Kerbside delivery is the industry standard for heavy pallet transport. It ensures:
  • Safety for both you and the driver when handling large, heavy loads
  • Protection for your driveways, lawns, and paving from vehicle or pallet damage
  • Efficiency for reliable delivery times and minimal disruption
All deliveries are completed with your approval, and the driver will make sure the pallet is positioned safely before leaving.

Preparing for Delivery

A little preparation helps everything run smoothly on delivery day.
  1. Ensure that access to your property is clear and wide enough for the vehicle. Palletline has a variety of lorry sizes, including 7.5, 12, and 18-tonne lorries. All domestic deliveries will be made on a small standard lorry (12 tonnes and below) unless the chosen product exceeds the weight limit.
  2. Check that there’s a firm, level surface (tarmac, concrete, or block paving) for unloading.
  3. Let us know in advance if your property has limited access, steep slopes, or gravel.
  4. Use your delivery notes to leave specific delivery instructions for the driver.
  5. Plan where you’ll store your logs once the pallet has been unloaded, ideally under cover with good airflow.
If you’re unsure about access or have special requirements, our friendly team will be happy to advise before you order. Simply contact us on 01981251796.

Other things to consider

  • Deliveries are all-day bookings, so can be made between 8 am and 6 pm. We always encourage our customers to be present at the point of delivery, in case the driver needs any instructions.
  • Surcharges - Although you can select a specific delivery day at checkout, some customers may require a more precise delivery time slot. We do have AM/PM deliveries available if needed, but these do come at an extra charge (free for members). See terms and conditions for more details.
  • Lead time - we like to keep our lead time below a week; however, during the busy season, lead times may extend. Keep up to date with lead times by subscribing to the newsletter.
  • ETAs: ETAs should be made available by Palletline throughout the day of delivery; however, the office is open 9 am to 5 pm Monday to Friday and can be of assistance. ETA's not given for timed bookings.
