Dear Customer, we offer flexible delivery options to suit your needs. Please read below for full details.
Good to know: Many of our customers receive their orders the very next working day after dispatch. While this is common, it is not guaranteed, and we do not currently offer a paid premium next-day delivery option.
Please note: Overlength products (over 2.0m) take a little longer, typically 2–3 working days after dispatch for UK Mainland and 3–4 working days for Scottish Mainland.
| Length | Base Cost (up to 20kg) | Additional Cost (per kg over 20kg) |
|---|---|---|
| Under 1.2m | £6.99 | £0.60 |
| 1.2m – 1.6m | £10.66 | £0.60 |
| 1.6m – 2.0m | £15.75 | £0.60 |
For products over 2.0 metres in length, delivery is charged by order weight as follows:
| Order Weight | Delivery Charge |
|---|---|
| Up to 20kg | £25.50 Example: a 20kg order = £25.50 |
| Over 20kg – up to 80kg | £25.50 Base + £0.60 per kg over 20kg Example: 21kg = £26.10 · 50kg = £43.50 · 80kg = £61.50 |
| Over 80kg – up to 500kg | £66.50 Base + £0.60 per kg over 80kg Example: 81kg = £67.10 · 100kg = £78.50 · 500kg = £318.50 |
| Over 500kg | £259.95 Base + £0.35 per kg over 500kg Example: 501kg = £260.30 · 600kg = £294.95 |
6 Metre Lengths – Specialist Palletised Delivery
Orders containing 6 metre lengths require specialist palletised freight delivery. An additional delivery charge may apply if the standard delivery charge does not cover the cost of this service.
The additional charge depends on your order weight and delivery postcode. If a charge applies, it will be shown in your basket and at checkout for you to accept before placing your order.
You can increase your order quantity and update your basket to check whether the additional charge is still needed. Alternatively, you can choose Click & Collect or order 5 metre or shorter lengths.
For help with delivery options, please call us on

⚠️ Surcharge on Small Overlength Orders
For orders containing items over 2.0m, if your net order value (excluding VAT and delivery) is below £25, a £10 surcharge applies. You can avoid this by increasing your order value above £25.
Overlength Products – 2.0m+ Delivery Times
For products over 2.0 metres in length, delivery is typically 2–3 working days after dispatch for UK Mainland, and 3–4 working days after dispatch for Scottish Mainland.
Please be aware that tail lifts have size, length and weight limitations. Long products such as 3 metre and 6 metre lengths may be unsuitable for unloading by tail lift due to their dimensions.
If your site has staff available to safely hand-unload long-length products from the vehicle, this is acceptable.
If you are unsure about the unloading requirements for your order, please contact us on 0121 270 8507 after ordering so we can advise on the most suitable delivery option.
Most orders over 80kg are shipped via a palletized courier.
We do ship to Northern Ireland postcodes, however please note that delivery charges are higher than standard UK Mainland rates and can be calculated in the basket by entering your postcode.
Important: We currently do not offer over-length shipping to Northern Ireland. Please ensure your order falls within our standard shipping limits.
Thank you for choosing Direct Channel for your cable management and support system needs.
