We will estimate the approximate delivery time for your goods at the time of ordering, however occasionally, your order may be delayed due to reasons beyond our control, for example raw material shortages, delays within transport and manufacturing, and issues with 3rd party contractors. In these circumstances, please be patient and we will deliver your goods as soon as we are able to do so.

No order is accepted on a time critical basis.

We fully comply with government legislation covered in the Distance Selling Regulations 2000 - this legistlation was introduced to safeguard both the interests of the consumer and the retailer in a distance transaction.
3) Delivery information. When your order is ready for delivery, our delivery department will contact you to arrange a convenient date for delivery.

Orders which have been custom made to your specification, for example a sofa bed in a specific size / fabric, a charge of 20% of the product price will be made as we will have to greatly reduce the price in order to source a new customer for your product, plus the associated return transport costs shown above.
