Orders & Delivery

Can I provide additional delivery instructions

Yes off course you can. Actualy we encourage updates as a measure to prevent escabable delays and failed attempt fees.

To provide us with the additional delivery details you want please contact us.

If the order is still with the couriers we will instruct them to update the delivery information when its relevant. If they have attempted a delivery to a wrong house number or postcode failed attempt fees will be applied.

My order is arriving too soon and I'm not ready to receive it, what can I do?

Do not panic ! 

Delaying a delivery for you is possible and without any additional charges when the couriers have not tried already to deliver.

As long as the order has not already left the distribution center our customer service team will make arrangements for the items to be held for a reasonable time until you are ready to receive delivery.

If you know already the date onward you are able to accept the items let us know  and we will update our couriers or if you know this information while placing an order online make a 'note' before checkout and we will add this relevant information to the delivery slip for the couriers to see.

Can I choose a specific delivery date?

Choosing the exact date is not 100% guaranteed though we can arrange for the nearest possible to the date of your preference. 

We can also hold your order until an available delivery slot is more suitable for you. 

Some of our distribution channels can provide this information in advance. Inquiries are always welcome with us.

I've waited in all day and my delivery did not arrive

First of all we apologize. Although we are happy to inform you that this will happen on only 0.45% of our deliveries it is sad that it has happened on you. Miss-communication is our worst enemy and we always work towards upgrading our procedures to minimize it but it can happen. Let us know of the next more convenient day and we will do our best to accommodate for you. 

I've placed an order but heard nothing

Our furniture range is divided to stock and to made to order items, so it might take a little longer to arrive. We will keep you informed throughout the process. If you still need to talk to a customer service member please contact us.

I've received only part of my order

Depending on the items in your order (e.g. Sofa Set & Bed etc) the items can be dispatched through different distribution centers. You may receive tracking information for both items. If you need any assistance to track the items contact us.  

What if my order is incomplete?

This will rarely happen, though if it does, please get in touch with one of our customer team members and we'll sort this out for you.

Can my order be sped up?

When the item ordered is in stock in our distribution center we will offer an 'express delivery' 3-5 working days.

Standard in stock items for our furniture deliveries is 5-12 working days.

This stock will dispatch within a few days (as stated on the specific product page). At which point a courier will be in touch to confirm an exact delivery date.

As we make some items to order directly with the manufacturers, these orders cannot be sped up. 

I have not heard from your delivery couriers yet

Our delivery company should contact you within 5 working days of your order being dispatched - if its over 5 days, let us know and we will follow up for you.

What happens if I'm not there when delivery is attempted?

Our items are shipped through a handful of fulfillment centers and courier companies. We use different delivery services depending on the size of the item or parcel.

Small/medium parcels: If you're not there when they try to deliver, our delivery partner will leave a card with your unique parcel reference number so you can arrange re delivery.

Large parcels: Our delivery partner will contact you before the delivery to propose a delivery date and time frame, and give you the option to reschedule this if it's not convenient. If you're not at home at the agreed time, your item will be returned to their warehouse. We might be able to arrange re-delivery but this might incur an extra delivery cost at the rate originally paid.

We'd advise you try and be in on the original delivery date, so your items don't stay too long in transit and you can enjoy them as quickly as possible. 

We would also advice you not to take any time off work for non confirmed delivery dates. The best avenue is always to confirm with the couriers or liaise with our customer support in order to be on the safe side. 

How do I know when my delivery will arrive?

Once your order has been processed we will arrange consignments with the couriers that will fulfill your order. 

Right after its been  dispatched, you will receive an email with all the delivery details you will need explaining the procedures and or tracking information. If you have checked your inbox, junk-mail and still have not receive any form of information regarding your order please give us a call and we will track the order for you.

Can you leave my delivery with a neighbour?

For smaller to medium sized products this would be no problem and we recommend you to note this wish to our customer service or a more practical method would be to leave a note on your door front with the details for the courier service

As for the delivery of larger items, we recommend being available to take receipt of your order so that the courier can place the product in a room of your choice.

I was given a time slot and the delivery company has not arrived

Thank you for your patience. We love you being anxious to receive your new furniture! (Bad time for Jokes) 

The delivery time slot is just an indication of when to expect your delivery -sometimes the drivers are delayed by traffic or other issues, they should be with you soon though. 

If you still need to, contact us to track your item.

Do the delivery company remove packaging?

The delivery company staff can assist you to remove item from packing in order to be able to place it in the positions you meant to have it. This will also help you inspect the item before you sign the delivery acceptance invoice or packing slip.

However they will not take the packaging with them. 

This is linked to returns requests allowed within 14 days where the original packaging has to come with the sofa in such a scenario.

Will the delivery company unload the items to first floor?

The contract we have with our couriers (2 man service) for the larger items is the delivery to any room of choice up to first floor. In many cases the courier staff have delivered to second and third floor but this was only due to their good will. 

Tip: You don't have to, but we like to tip the good willing people :) 

Please let us know in advance the floor you need the items on (other than ground and first floor) so that we can make arrangements with our couriers. Charges may apply. 

The delivery staff are hard working members of our sales supply chain. They drive all around the country all day long and sometimes load & unload very heavy items. Without them we could not make it to you :)

Can I have a weekend delivery?

Delivery usually happens during weekdays, though some carriers do offer a Saturday or Sunday delivery option for certain area post codes. Where applicable, you can opt for this option via the phone or our websites.
Please note: Once you've placed your order, we can't change your delivery option to a Saturday or Sunday.

How can I contact the delivery company?

We will provide you with the courier company Name and contact number as well with the reference code where relevant.

Please note the we work with several delivery companies, and there's no point contacting them until we've dispatched your item to them. After 2-3 days after dispatch they should be aware of your order and at which point they'll be able to give you more specific details. They'll contact you directly when this happens too, so don't worry. We'll update you at every stage of the delivery process until then, but if you have any questions, do get in touch with us.

Our design team travel the world from Italy to India and are meeting master craftsmen from all across the globe who dedicate themselves to the art of furniture making.

Through this process we've found makers in various parts of the world including Italy, Poland, China, Indonesia, Vietnam and India. 

As always, every piece is made to exacting standards. 

Do you have a showroom for viewing?

Unfortunately, we do not have a showroom.

We've intentionally decided against a showroom because it adds extra costs (rents,wages,utilities) which you, the customer, pays extra to cover. Having said that, our team are meticulous about making sure you have all the detailed pictures, dimensions and details to pick the perfect piece for your home.

Do I need to measure before ordering?

We highly recommend this step before ordering any furniture. Our team will be happy to assist you with any needed dimensions in regards to its functionality or in regards to getting it into the intended room of your property.  

Can I have one of your fabrics on another sofa range?

No, we do not mix and match the ranges fabrics. When there is another color available for one of the ranges we will add it in the variations options. We do not offer any one-off productions.

Can I place an order over the phone?

Yes - just get in touch with our sales team here, and we'd be happy to help you place your order.

Do you offer an assembly service?

We currently do not offer this service, however we choose to market products Easy to assemble. If there is a need for a second person for the assembly of an item we will advice you beforehand through the product description. A Google search for flat pack or furniture assembly services and your area, is the best way to go about finding the most appropriate person or service to assist you.
