Delivery
We can ONLY deliver the wholesale confectionery products that you purchase from us online. All other items are available to buy and pick up from our cash and carries.
We have made every effort to ensure that our delivery costs are kept as reasonable as possible. Your order will go out on a 48 hour courier service, though if we receive your order before 11am, the vast majority will arrive the next day.
Please note that we ONLY deliver to businesses. If you run your business from home and will definitely be there to receive the delivery we will be able to accept your order.
We currently deliver to the UK ONLY.
It is essential that someone is available to sign for your delivery on arrival.
The minimum order size is six outers. There is no maximum size.
As we generally pack six outers into a box, the most cost effective quantity to order is a multiple of six (up to 66 outers).
We will generally deliver orders of 67 outers or more on a pallet.
All delivery prices do not include VAT. This will be added at the checkout.
Basic delivery charge
| 6 outers | £5.50 |
| 7-12 outers | £8.90 |
| 13-18 outers | £12.30 |
| 19-24 outers | £15.70 |
| 25-30 outers | £19.10 |

| 55-60 outers | £36.10 |
| 61-66 outers | £39.50 |
| 67+ outers | £45.00 |
Surcharges on orders up to 66 outers (per delivery)
Some areas of the country understandably warrant a surcharge. Your eligibility will be assessed against your postcode and this will be added at the checkout. Orders of more than 67 outers will not incur surcharges.
| London postcodes | £0.90 |
| Scotland postcodes | £2.30 |
| Cornwall postcodes | £2.70 |
| Anglesey, Dyfedd and Gwnedd postcodes | £2.70 |
| Isle of Wight postcodes | £6.20 |
| Highlands and Islands postcodes | £16.20 |
Northern Ireland
There is a three day delivery service available to Northern Ireland. The delivery cost will be calculated on the weight of your order as follows:
| up to 20kg (approx 6 outers) | £30 |
| for every kg above 20kg | an extra 50p per kg |
Overseas deliveries
Website orders can only currently be delivered to the UK. However we might still be able to help you if you are based overseas.
If you are located in Southern Ireland please contact our Manchester cash and carry on 0161 231 5423
If you are located overseas please contact our export department on 01509 638080
Delivery costs for display stands
If you wish to purchase any one of our three display stands, you can place an order for a single stand and pay the same delivery cost as if you are ordering just six outers. So for the majority of the UK, the delivery cost would be £5.50. The above surcharges will still apply. For Northern Ireland the cost of a single stand being delivered will be £50.
To make our checkout system even more friendly, you can also add a further five outers of any sweets to your stand order and still pay the same delivery charge.
Please note that all stands will be delivered on a pallet.
If you have any further queries about our delivery costs please contact us and we will be happy to help you.

Celebrating 50 years of confectionery wholesaling
Posted 13/01/2012
2012 is Hancock's 50th birthday. How they have grown!
Specialising in the wholesale of confectionery to independent retailers including convenience stores, sweets and chocolate shops, CTNs, traders, off licenses and garage forecourts, Hancock Cash and Carry offers in excess of 5,000 branded and own label confectionery products in each of its 18 sites, stretching from Glasgow to Portsmouth. There is no larger range of sweets and chocolates available in the UK!
Wholesaling all of the main brands from the leading confectionery manufacturers including Cadbury, Mars, Nestle, Kraft, Haribo, Bassetts, Lindt, Ferrero and Taveners, Hancocks also sells a substantial range of pick and mix sweets under its Kingsway own label, including many old fashioned and retro sweets in addition to more contemporary children’s favourites. Hancocks is also known for its range of value, own label and lesser known branded confectionery, which has become a key driver during the tough economic climate.
There is an ongoing program of special offers and deals on confectionery throughout the year, allowing businesses to maximise their return on confectionery.
