Delivery
All our Landowner IBCs are for delivery by customer offload. This entails the customer to acquire the right manpower and/or machinery to help unload the tank/s from the delivery vehicle. An onsite Forklift/telehandler is required for offloading delivery of this product.
If you require any specific requirements regarding delivery, please call us before order is placed, where we will try and accommodate this facility for you.

Our price includes delivery and collection.
Due to the unique nature and high value of the IBC containers that we use, we require a deposit to be taken on each IBC which is refunded upon the return of the same container in good condition. This is carried out as follows:
- For new customers, we charge a £140 refundable deposit which is refunded upon your return of the IBC if no further IBC's of our product are ordered and on the condition that no seals are broken, all caps are in place and the IBC is in good condition with no visible signs of damage. Please select ‘First order - new customer including IBC deposit’ if this is your first order with us.
- For existing customers, who simply want to replenish their AdBlue®, we will deliver a fresh 1000 litre IBC of AdBlue® and collect your existing Landowner Blue IBC - please select ‘refill existing customer - IBC to collect’ from the drop-down menu. In this instance, the deposit from your initial order is retained and allocated to the new IBC delivered (to ensure that a deposit remains on each IBC at your premises).
- Please note that all IBC's returned must only be Landowner Blue IBC's - if IBC's returned are not ours, we reserve the right to invoice any costs incurred for transport and also for the IBC at £140 + VAT. If the empty IBC is not ready for collection when the replacement IBC is being delivered, then you will be required to pay a re-collection fee for that empty IBC or an additional IBC deposit charge (£140 + VAT). If the empty IBC is returned damaged and/or with seals broken, then you will be charged £140 + VAT for the IBC.
- If you no longer wish to continue with your IBC refills, we will refund the cost of your original IBC deposit when the IBC is returned back to us in good condition with all seals intact. The cost of returning the IBC is down to the customer. If we are requested to collect the IBC, then the amount refunded will have the transport costs deducted.
- Store between -5°C and +25°C for optimal shelf life
- Use only dedicated AdBlue® equipment (no contact with fuel, oil or grease)
- Avoid exposure to direct sunlight
- Wear basic PPE when handling (gloves and eye protection recommended)
- Clean up spills promptly with water - AdBlue® is non-toxic but corrosive to some metals

Overseas orders
International orders are welcome. Payment is by IBAN / SWIFT / BIC, MoneyGram and letters of credit. We regret that credit cards are not accepted for international orders.
A purchase order is required; we will then create a pro-forma invoice, and tanks are ordered on clearance of funds.
If you require additional export documentation — for example a Certificate of Origin, or commercial invoices certified by the Chamber of Commerce — you must notify us before completion of your order, as we will have to invoice cost and admin charges to the order.
