When will my order be ready to collect?

Items are warehoused at multiple locations. Items at Scheltema warehouse have a 0 day lead time which means they are ready immediately. Most other suppliers have a lead time of 1 day which means they can be collected on a next day basis. Made to order items have a longer lead time and can only be collected once they are made up.

Why aren't items always available the very next day?

Buildmate has access to the real time inventory levels of Scheltema's warehouse only. It does not have access to the real time inventory levels of other suppliers. Items presented on the website with 1 day lead times are items that our suppliers keep as stock items and so it is with a high degree of predictability that these items are available Next day. On the odd occasion there is insufficient stock to collect Next day you'll be notified of this after you place your order via email. You will receive a notification via sms/email to confirm when the stock is ready for collection.
