Sometimes, especially during the holiday season, we may come across delays or restrictions in your area which mean we can’t get to you as quickly as we’d like. These things are very often out of our control, but we’ll make every effort to keep you updated. If we’re delayed by road works or diversions for instance, our team will let you know and we’ll get to you as soon as possible.

What if the furniture doesn’t fit on delivery?

When you place an order, please be aware that it’s your responsibility to let us know of any difficulties we may have delivering to your property – narrow stairs or doors for instance.
