Purchasing Products

The prices displayed on this Site are quoted in UK Sterling. Payments can only be made in this currency.

The prices as quoted on our website include VAT and delivery costs. Prices are liable to change at any time, but changes will not affect orders in respect of which we have already sent you a Dispatch Confirmation. The Products will not be dispatched until we have received your payment in full.

Where there is a delay or likelihood of delay in the supply of products, we will advise you as soon as possible.

When a product is ordered, we will send you a receipt with details of when the product will be delivered. Most of our products are stock items with a lead time maximum of 4 weeks delivery. Whenever such a product is ordered, we will contact you to confirm expected delivery time for your order. With exception certain products may arrive in a shorter lead time. Any orders you place with us will not be accepted and no contract will be formed between us until you have been instructed that said goods are available and these goods and all applicable charges have been paid for in full.

Each order will take on the binding effect of a contract only upon written confirmation from the supplier. Contractually valid conditions are expressly binding for both parties to the contract only to the extent of that which has been confirmed in writing by the supplier. No payment shall be deemed to have been received until we have received payment in cleared funds. We reserve the right at all times and at our sole discretion to refuse to accept any orders.

 

Delivery

We operate with Free delivery to all post codes in England, Scotland and Wales.

Most of our furniture arrives fully assembled however some of our luxury pieces that come from Italy may require the very minimum of assembly. We provide assistance with assembly if required. We will notify you on your confirmation receipt whether the product may need assembling.

Due to the bespoke nature of our products International deliveries will be calculated after the order has been placed and the customer will receive an additional charge.  Feel free to contact us at any time to discuss the shipping options available and the additional costs involved.

 

Delivery Access

It is your responsibility to ensure that the furniture you order can be delivered into your property and that there is safe and reasonable access from the public highway to the place of delivery.

If our delivery staff considers that the access is unsafe then we will not deliver the goods until safe access is provided. You are obliged to provide any required parking permits in advance of the delivery. If you have any doubts that the furniture will fit up stairways, through doors or any awkward or restrictive spaces it is vital that you seek advice. We can offer an access check for specific items of furniture.

This involves our delivery team making an appointment and inspecting your property to confirm if access is possible at a charge. You must inform us of any vehicle access issues or parking restrictions at the delivery address. For further information or if you have any questions about our delivery service please contact our help team on: [email protected]

Cancellations

Our legal obligation to you, our customer, under the new European Directive incorporated into UK Law by The Consumer Protection (Distance Selling) Regulations 2000, is to grant you the unconditional right to cancel your order from the date of the contract and up to 7 days after placing the order. You may cancel an order by emailing: [email protected] Many of our products are made-to-order goods of high value. Notice is given with the relevant product specifications that orders for these goods are considered CUSTOM ORDERS and may only be cancelled strictly within 1 week of ordering, as work on the product will, by then, have started. The majority of our furniture items are bespoke items and so in the event that having placed an order you wish to cancel it, we will unfortunately have to charge a cancellation fee of 50% of the value of the order plus any other delivery or collection fee incurred.

 

Returns

When you return a Product to us because you have cancelled the Contract between us within the seven-day cooling-off period, we will process the refund due to you as soon as possible and, in any case, within 30 days of the day you have given notice of your cancellation. In this case, we will refund the price of the Product in full, including the cost of sending the item to you. However, you will be responsible for the cost of returning the item to us. For any other reason (for instance, because you have notified us in that you do not agree to any change in these terms and conditions or in any of our policies, or because you claim that the Product is defective), we will examine the returned Product and will notify you of your refund via e-mail within a reasonable period of time. We will usually process the refund due to you as soon as possible and, in any case, within 30 days of the day we confirmed to you via e-mail that you were entitled to a refund for the defective Product.

Faulty item(s) - You have the right to report faulty items within 7 days after delivery. If you wish to return an item because you think it is faulty you must inform us in writing by sending an email to: [email protected] The email must contain the order number and the fact that you wish to return an item because you think it is faulty. We will then further the issue and deal with it as necessary. Please note that bespoke furniture, special orders, flat-packed items that have been assembled, made-to-order items, gift vouchers and personalised items can only be returned or exchanged if faulty.

Please note we do not accept returns from international orders unless the items are faulty. Faulty items must be returned by the same method as they were delivered and we will not accept return packages that have import duty or tax charges applied.

Incorrect item(s) - If you receive any incorrect items please notify us immediately by sending an email to: [email protected]. The email must contain the order number and the fact that you wish to return an item because it has been delivered incorrectly. We will then further the issue and deal with it as necessary. We regret that postage, packing and insurance incurred in the delivery of the goods to you are direct costs and cannot be refunded except in the case of cancellations.
