Delivery & cut-off times
Order by 18:00 on a working day for same-day dispatch. We deliver across the UK and Ireland, with next-working-day delivery in mainland England and 90% of deliveries on our own fleet.
The cut-off is 18:00
Orders placed before 18:00 on a working day are picked and despatched the same day. Orders after 18:00 go on the following day’s despatch. The cut-off is the same at every depot.
The evening cut-off gives you time to confirm your customers’ requirements and place orders during the working day.
Lead times by zone
| Destination | Lead time |
|---|---|
| Mainland England | Next working day |
| Non-mainland UK | 2 working days |
| Northern Ireland | 3 working days |

For truck and agricultural tyres held locally, Falkirk and Bury St Edmunds offer same day within 20 miles of the depot, next-day AM within 40. See our depots for what each site holds.
Ninety per cent on our own fleet
Ninety per cent of deliveries go out on GB Tyres vehicles, handled by drivers familiar with tyres and the needs of trade customers.
For delivery updates or help with an order, contact our team directly.
Collection, every day of the year
Same-day collection is available every day of the year. For urgent requirements, contact your nearest depot to confirm stock and arrange collection.
Phone the order through and give the desk a collection time so it is picked and staged before you arrive. Please bring a vehicle suitable for the size and weight of your order, and arrange appropriate unloading equipment for larger tyres. Addresses, hours and access notes are on the depots page.
Ghost shipment under your own name
We can deliver directly to your customer’s premises under your name and with your paperwork, helping you serve customers without handling the consignment yourself.
When arranging ghost shipment, please provide goods-in hours, unloading facilities and any vehicle access restrictions. Consignments do not show prices by default; confirm your paperwork requirements with the desk when ordering.
Minimum order
The minimum order is a complete set of tyres. Above that, order sizes run from a single set to part-loads and full containers — see import and container orders for volume supply and export.
If something goes wrong
Please check your consignment against the delivery note before signing. Record any shortage or visible damage on the note and contact our team promptly if an item is missing, damaged or incorrect.
Notification periods and the claims process are set out in our delivery and returns policy.
What time is the order cut-off?
18:00 on a working day, at every depot. Orders placed before then are picked and despatched the same day.
How quickly will an order reach me?
Next working day in mainland England, two working days for non-mainland UK, three for Northern Ireland and four for the Republic of Ireland, from the 18:00 cut-off.
Can I collect instead?
Yes. Same-day collection is available every day of the year from our depots. Phone the order through first so it is picked and staged.
Will my customer know the tyres came from you?
Not if you use ghost shipment. The consignment goes out under your name with your paperwork and no GB Tyres branding.
Is there a minimum order?
A complete set of tyres.
Order before 18:00
Account holders can place orders through GB Direct or by phone.
