Service Update - Local Restrictions Update - Wednesday 16th September, 2020

At ArrowXL the health and safety of our customers and our delivery teams is our highest priority. As a result of an increase in the ‘R’ rate in pockets of the U.K and the implementation of local lockdowns, not all services are currently available in all delivery areas. Whilst local restrictions are in place we may revert to doorstep delivery only. Your delivery crew will update you when pre-calling prior to delivery. Please note we have implemented signatureless delivery whereby our crews will sign the POD on your behalf once the delivery is made.

For specific government information and guidance on currently restricted areas please visit the GOV.UK website.

Thank you for your understanding.
