For small items, delivery will be by a recognised courier service. You should ensure there is someone in your property to receive and sign for your items to avoid potential redelivery or collection charges.

As all deliveries need to be signed for, we or our preferred delivery partners will be unable to leave your items and it will be returned to our or their distribution centre(s). Someone will contact you to arrange a further delivery date. There will be an additional extra delivery charge and you may also incur storage fees.

With limited storage facilities, we endeavour to deliver your order as swiftly as possible usually no later than 7 days after it becomes available. When you order your furniture we will give you an estimated delivery date.

When your goods have been received at our distribution centre, our Delivery Service team will contact you to confirm the day they deliver to your area.
