How Our Delivery Service Works

Ordering from Alsoils+ is easy. Whether you’re a home gardener or a trade customer, we make sure your delivery is smooth from start to finish.

1. Place Your Order

Order online 24/7 through our secure website or get in touch with our team. Once your order is confirmed, we’ll begin preparing it for delivery – while we can’t offer the ability to deliver for a specific time slot, we’ll give you a rough idea if you give us a call.

2. We Pack and Load Your Products

Your topsoil, compost, manure or mulch will be carefully packed into 0.75m³ bulk bags or prepared as a loose load, depending on your order.

3. We Deliver in 2–5 Working Days

Deliveries typically take place within 2 to 5 working days from your order, but may vary depending on availability. Please note we only deliver Monday – Friday between 07:30am – 6pm.

4. Offloaded by HIAB Crane

We use an 18-tonne HIAB crane-offload lorry (the height of the lorry including the crane is 12’6”/3.81m) to place your bulk bags onto an adequate hard-standing area or kerbside location. Placement depends on safe access and is at the driver’s discretion.

Delivery Days & Availability

We deliver Monday to Friday between 7:30am and 6:00pm, giving you flexibility without compromising on reliability.

Standard delivery window is 2 – 5 working days from the time you place your order, but this may change depending on business needs. We’re unable to offer specific delivery times (we will try our best to accommodate), but if you give us a call, we can usually provide a rough estimate of the day and delivery window. See terms and conditions for full information.

Delivery Access Requirements

To ensure a smooth and successful delivery, please review the following access requirements…

  • Vehicle type: Deliveries are made using an 18-tonne HIAB crane lorry. Vehicle height is 12’6” (3.81m), so please be mindful of trees, low bridges or archways on route. Also, please note that our delivery vehicles are unable to go on block paving.
  • Surface requirements: We can only offload onto firm, level, hard-standing areas such as concrete or tarmac. We cannot deliver onto gravel, grass, steep slopes, block paving or soft ground – placement is at the driver’s discretion.
  • Crane placement: Our drivers can lift bags over low fences, walls or hedges where safe access is available – final placement is always at the driver’s discretion.
  • Allotment deliveries: For deliveries to allotments, our drivers need access to a hard standing car park and cannot offload next to your plot.
  • Clear access needed: Ensure driveways and access points are free from parked cars, bins or obstructions. Dependant on lorry size and access to your property, delivery may be kerbside only.

If you’re unsure whether your property is suitable, just get in touch before placing your order – we’re always happy to help!

Excellent product at a sensible price from a local supplier. Staff are friendly and willing to help: I asked if just one bag of topsoil could be delivered quickly and it arrived next day! Great service.

Smooth execution of the transaction and delivery. Very helpful phone call and conversation. Ordered three bags of Border Blend topsoil. Paid by Paypal. They delivered, on the specified date, carefully, exactly where I wanted the bags placed. All in all, a very pleasing purchase. The topsoil was excellent and had been very carefully prepared. No lumps. Would definitely recommend and I will use again. Everyone I spoke to was nice and helpful.

Ordered topsoil on Tuesday came by Friday at the exact time quoted. Was WAY cheaper than anywhere else (by about £15 per bag) and was dropped off via a crane on back of the lorry, not by pallet which most of the other places use. Soil was fine and dry. Brilliant !
