DELIVERY

Your goods will be delivered by an independent courier service or one of our own vehicles. The expected delivery time is usually shown on our website in days or weeks. This is as a guide only and may vary due to many factors. When goods are out of stock or temporarily unavailable we will advise you of the progress of your order and an expected delivery date as soon as possible. We do not accept responsibility of delays incurred by the independent courier service.

Once your goods have been dispatched, we will contact you confirming dispatch of goods and a day of delivery. Our couriers will contact you again on the day of the delivery so you can follow your order with the courier service.

You must inform us of non-delivery within 7 days of this confirmation so that we can make investigations and ensure goods get to you as soon as possible. We will not be held responsible for goods undelivered after 14 days if you have not informed us of their non-delivery.

To avoid disappointment, we request that you check the dimensions of your entry points to your required location before ordering large items of furniture, and it's always a good idea to order a sample before ordering large quantities. Dimensions for our products are on the individual product pages.

Products delivered to you by one of our courier services offers a maximum of two delivery attempts. If you are unavailable a note will usually be left. In which case you will need to re-arrange delivery with the courier service directly. If delivery fails again because someone is not available to accept it, or you have supplied an incorrect delivery address, you will be charged in full for re-delivery, even if delivery was originally offered free or at a discounted rate.

Delivery addresses provided at point of payment are the addresses we will use as default. It is the customer's responsibility to provide us with the correct delivery address at the point of payment. If you need to change your delivery address after you have ordered you must send us an email at your earliest possible convenience. We will do our best to make this change however it is by no means guaranteed.

After payment has been received we are unable to make any changes to your order. This includes changing the delivery address, delivery options and cancelling items. If you wish to add additional items to an existing order, you will need to place a new order.

Large orders may be sent by pallet rather than by courier this will depend on the delivery address and quantity ordered.

We will provide you with reasonable notice when your order is ready for dispatch and delivery. If the order has been returned back to us due to no fault of our own (insufficient delivery address details or your unavailability) you maybe charged for a re-delivery.
