Delivery & Shipping Policy – Sound Checks
Last Updated: June 2026
At Sound Checks, we pride ourselves on providing a reliable and professional delivery service for all hired equipment. To ensure equipment arrives safely, on time, and ready for use, all deliveries and collections are carried out exclusively by our own trained drivers and team members.
Delivery Service
All equipment hired from Sound Checks is delivered directly by our internal delivery team. We do not use third-party couriers or parcel delivery services for equipment hire.
This allows us to:
-
Ensure equipment is transported safely and securely
-
Verify equipment condition before delivery
-
Provide assistance with unloading where agreed
-
Maintain the highest standards of customer service
Delivery Areas
We provide delivery and collection services throughout our operating area. Delivery availability may vary depending on location and booking requirements.
Please contact us before booking if you are unsure whether your event location falls within our delivery area.

Delivery and collection times will be agreed during the booking process.
While we make every effort to meet agreed schedules, delivery times may occasionally be affected by factors outside our control, including:
