Local Delivery
Our local delivery model works around a ‘clock face’ with Andover as the centre. We start in Newbury, and work our way around to Basingstoke, Southampton, Salisbury, Swindon and then back to Newbury.
Keeping the overall price as low as possible is all about maintaining a delivery model that focuses on efficiency and sustainability, if we did it based on when it was ordered we believe our model would be at least twice the price. It’s possible you may get your delivery sooner, even within 1 day, depending on when you do the order and where we are on our clock face.
We offer a quicker service even on the day but i’m afraid the price will reflect that service.
Our prices and delivery times do change through out the year depending on how busy we are.
Apsley Farms offers a FREE delivery service to those within 30 miles of the farm in Andover, Hampshire. Our current target is to deliver within 20 working days of your order. Our average wait time for undelivered orders will vary depending on delivery circumstances and local demand.

Nationwide Delivery and Rates
We offer Nationwide delivery using an external pallet delivery service. This will be delivered on a pallet to the kerbside. Typically this will take 2-5 working days from ordering.
Please note that this is kerbside only and they WILL NOT be able to deliver your order onto gravel driveways or down narrow roads and drives. The delivery vehicle used will be a 7.5 ton lorry or bigger. So if the dustbin truck struggles – so will the mulch delivery vehicle.
Here are some examples of how a pallet delivery will likely be placed. Our pallet couriers will sometimes use manual pallet trucks and only deliver to hard standing.
