Providing a safe grocery delivery.  The following information sets out Sainsburys current delivery guidelines.

• Sainsburys will always deliver your order to the front door of your house or to the communal entrance to your block of flats.
• The drivers may not be able to deliver to you if he or she has to transport your shopping an unreasonable distance because of parking or access restrictions.
• Drivers will not always be able to deliver beyond the communal entrance if there isn’t a lift, which transports the shopping beyond the first floor of the building (where the ground level is 0). If this is the case, the driver or a store colleague will discuss delivery options with you for subsequent deliveries.
• Sainsbury’s always aim to help our customers who need further assistance, where our drivers believe it is safe or practical to do so.
• Please note that our service does not extend to unpacking your shopping from its bags.
• For deliveries to customers at a business address, sainsburys are only able to deliver to the ground floor communal entrance of your business, but are unfortunately not able to come up to your desk or place of work. If your business has a shared ground floor reception, this is the point to which they will deliver.
• Please ensure you are available to receive and sign for the order within your timeslot. Their drivers will wait a reasonable amount of time for you to arrive at the ground floor reception to collect your order but if you do not arrive, they may need to leave without delivering your order. While Sainsburys may be able to organise a redelivery for a subsequent time, they may need to charge for this redelivery.
