Shipping Policy
All orders are shipped out by a dedicated, trackable courier service to the address specified at the time of ordering.
We will usually process the order next day and our fastest delivery courier is Next day Service by DHL & DX (which is estimated and not guaranteed). We intend to get all orders to be delivered as soon as possible subject to availability of stock. It may take longer if we do not have the stock for any items from your order. Our standard delivery time is 2 to 3 working days; however, this is simply an estimate; your item may arrive sooner or take longer if we do not have stock on hand. Furthermore, shipping of some of our products may take longer than 2 to 3 days due to their length and weight (will not be more than 30 days of placing your order).
The estimated time for delivery between 8 AM to 6 PM Monday to Friday.
If you require a delivery on specific day, you can do so by emailing us on sales@kimetals.co.uk. Should you require a delivery for your order on a Saturday, there will be an extra charge and also any specific time slot. We will confirm this on an email when we provide you with options for such type of express deliveries.
PLEASE NOTE: While we will send your item via the service you choose, we CANNOT guarantee delivery on the times and dates you specify, as this is a third-party service beyond our control. Please wait until you receive your delivery before arranging any fitting services or workmen; we cannot be held responsible or liable for any losses, damages, charges, or expenditures incurred as a result of any delivery delay. Some parts of the UK, such as islands or isolated places, may not be able to get the AM or Saturday service; if this is the case, we will notify you and reimburse any additional fees.
On orders that are long, heavy, or are being delivered to an offshore address, we have the right to charge additional delivery fees. If any additional charges apply, we will notify you after receiving your order before dispatching it.
Please note that because we employ a courier service, we are required to charge VAT on delivery, which is detailed in the table below.

Please call us on 01213283380 to check your order is ready for collection and to schedule a pickup time. Please note that we may ask for identification and/or to view the card used to purchase the items for security reasons; please have a copy of the order or the order number with you. Please note that goods purchased with PayPal cannot be picked up. We would also like to point out that unless the items have been paid for prior to pick up, any mandatory cutting will not be done until you arrive and the goods have been paid for. As a result, it’s possible that you’ll have to wait for your order.
This may seem self-evident, but 3m and 6m lengths of steel are hefty, and household cars are not designed to transport these types of goods. Please make sure you have proper methods of securing items safely, and that the means of transporting the goods are safe and legal.
