For delivery/collection times we can only give an indication of AM or PM time slots however we can take telephone contacts to allow us to give you notice of a more accurate time of arrival on the date booked. Please note that traffic and the very nature of moving delicate yet heavy musical instruments limits us in being able to keep to exact time slots.
