Agency-Supplied Digital Pianos
Some digital pianos are sold by Bonners on an agency basis on behalf of the manufacturer and have their own subsidised delivery charges.
Delivery charges for agency-supplied digital pianos range from FREE to £175, depending on the piano model, delivery service and your location.
Because these products are supplied under separate manufacturer arrangements, our standard Boxed Delivery and Professional Installation charges do not necessarily apply.
The applicable delivery service and price will be clearly displayed at checkout before you complete your order.
Upstairs Delivery & Special Access
Our standard Professional Installation prices are based on straightforward ground-floor delivery with suitable access.
We can deliver many digital pianos upstairs, but this depends on the piano model, delivery location, staircase and access. Some larger instruments may not be suitable for upstairs delivery, and an additional charge may apply.
If you require upstairs delivery, or have narrow doorways, steps, restricted access or any other concerns, please contact us before placing your order.
We may ask you to provide photographs of the delivery route or staircase so that we can confirm the best delivery option for you.
Call us on 01323 639335 or email sales@bonnersmusic.co.uk and we'll be happy to advise.

Additional charges may apply to some parts of Scotland and Wales, the Isle of Wight and other remote or offshore locations.
Please contact us before ordering if you're unsure whether your address is covered by our standard delivery services.

This helps protect both your property and your piano whilst ensuring our delivery team arrives fully prepared.
Second-Hand & Oversized Products
Our standard FREE delivery over £250 offer does not apply to all second-hand or oversized products.
Additional delivery charges apply to:
- All second-hand keyboards
- Some oversized products measuring more than 120cm in length
- Products requiring specialist handling or delivery
Where applicable, the delivery charge will be calculated automatically at checkout based on the items in your basket and your delivery postcode.
If you're unsure about the delivery charge for a particular instrument, please contact us before ordering and we'll be happy to advise.
Pre-Orders & Out of Stock Items
If you order a product that is temporarily out of stock, we will contact you as soon as possible to confirm the expected lead time.
If you would like to check availability before placing your order, our sales team will be happy to help.
For many popular or newly released products, we can also take a small deposit to reserve your place in the queue ahead of new stock arriving.
Order Tracking
Once your order has been dispatched, you will receive a confirmation email containing your tracking number and courier details.
You can track your shipment directly with the courier once dispatched.
