Next day is our aim. Express is our promise.
Catnic Express delivery service, developed for our stockists, offers a flat £59 delivery fee for any eligible shipment of 1–5 standard steel lintels up to 3 metres. Orders placed before 10:00am qualify for express delivery which means for standard lintels we aim to deliver next day.
For non standard lintels, Catnic Express provides a 3–5 day turnaround, excluding specials and bespoke designs. Mixed orders are allowed, but delivery will follow the longest lead time, so branches wanting urgent delivery should place standard lintels separately.
Ordering is straightforward: merchants and stockists can submit manual (email) or EDI orders, provided they reference Catnic Express and include the £59 service charge. Orders cannot be taken over the phone.
Your branch will receive its usual order acknowledgement plus a courtesy call from the Catnic Sales Office providing a delivery update.
This page gives merchants and dedicated stockists everything needed to understand how the service works, what’s included, and how to place orders correctly, helping you deliver faster, more responsive support to your customers.

To keep your Express delivery running as quickly as it does, we're not able to change or cancel orders once they've been placed. They're often on their way to the haulier within hours. It's worth double-checking your order before you submit it.
There are over 2000 lintels listed on our website, look for the tick icon to see which are considered standard and can be delivered via the Catnic Express service.
We aim to deliver Catnic Express orders next day. Very occasionally, things beyond our control mean a delivery arrives outside of this window. If your order doesn't arrive within 48 hours, we'll refund your £59 Catnic Express premium in full.
