Delivery
We are happy to collect and deliver smaller items of furniture (armchairs etc) within a 20 mile radius of South Manchester. This will be charged at £30 plus fuel each way.
Going further afield, we recommend an experienced courier to ensure that the items arrive safe and sound. Generally, this costs around £50. Please note that these prices are for mainland UK and extra charges will apply if you would like the item shipped to Northern Ireland, Scottish Highlands & Islands or the Channel Islands.
We aim to have your furniture delivered to you within 14 working days.
The courier can deliver items to any room you require. The driver will assess whether or not he can physically manoeuvre items into place and will only do so if items pass freely through the spaces provided. Please ensure you measure correctly and understand your responsibilities before ordering any furniture items. Consider staircases, doorways or any tight spaces used as access points. If you need to return an item of furniture, the original delivery charge will be deducted from any refund.
Returns
We want you to be delighted every time you shop with me.
so we’ve made our returns policy simple…
Bespoke upholstered items
Any upholstery service that has been commissioned by you is unfortunately not returnable, as it has been especially commissioned by you. Before placing your bespoke order, please ensure that all the details are correct and that you are happy with the individual specifications of the item(s). We want to make sure that you are happy with your purchase, now and in the future, and are happy to assist in any questions you may have before placing your order. However, in the unlikely event that you are unhappy with the workmanship of your bespoke item, please contact us to discuss further.
