Shipping and Returns

FAST NATIONWIDE DELIVERY IN IRELAND

We are an Irish company based in Co. Kildare so we can deliver within Ireland FAST and without any customs/paperwork hassle.

We can promise no customs paperwork or charges for our customers on deliveries to the Republic of Ireland. Most of our orders are shipped directly from our warehouse in Kildare. Some orders (like mats) will ship directly from our manufacturer in the Netherlands, so again this means no paperwork surprises on delivery. Plenty of our products are manufactured in the UK – any that are not in stock will come to our Irish warehouse first – again, this means there will be no customs paperwork or charges when we deliver out to our customers.

Pittman® offer a range of delivery services on our items across Ireland.  Stock items leave from our main warehouse in Athy, Co Kildare. Standard dispatch on stock items is approximately 2 – 3 days. Non-stock items may deliver from one of our UK or European warehouses. Delivery times on non-stock items vary, but can range anywhere from 2-5 weeks. Please note that all delivery times are estimates only.

At Pittman® we use 3rd party delivery services and do not have our own transport vehicles. Pittman® are not responsible for any event or delay outside of our control. If you require something urgently or by a specific date or time we would recommend arranging your own collection from our Athy warehouse. Call our sales team on 01 531 2777 for more information on arranging collection of your order.

Shipping Charges

The standard shipping charge is €14.50 on stock items and €29.50 for bulkier items (e.g. wheel stops, bollards). This charge relates to single or small item quantities that can go with a regular courier. For larger, heavier items or large quantities our warehouse team will send your order via pallet service.

Large quantities of long items (wheel stops) will require a double pallet charge.

Standard pallet charge - €80.00

Double pallet charge - €160.00

Urgent or next day deliveries to Kildare or Dublin can be facilitated in most cases for an additional fee. Contact our sales team for more information.

Please note that delivery charges are subject to change at any time.
