5. CHOOSING PRODUCTS TO ORDER

Prior to submitting an order with us, you should review these important terms.

5.1 Are the product specifications accurate? What if they are not?

All sizes and measurements are approximate but we do try to make sure that they are as accurate as possible.

Sometimes the product specifications from the manufacturer may change, in which case we will do our best to offer you a similar alternative. We may experience problems with the supply of certain products and may therefore supply a substitute of the same or better quality at the same price. If you are not happy with the replacement or substitute you can return it in accordance with our returns policy. Where applicable, you may cancel your order in accordance with your rights under the consumer regulations.

Our products are displayed as clearly as possible throughout our website to give you as much information as possible about a product. If you need further information on anything, contact us at: [email protected]

5.2 How do I know the sizes will fit in my home?

Please review our Measuring Advice guidane shown in the dimensions field under each product before placing an order as it contains important information you should consider before ordering. Reviewing our Measuring Advice is critical if you are ordering a bespoke product. If you need further advice or have any other questions about a product, email [email protected] or call 01494 722112.

 

6. PRICING INFORMATION

6.1 How are prices displayed when I’m ordering?

All prices are shown in £s sterling and include VAT (where applicable) at the applicable current rates. The relevant delivery charge for each product is shown underneath the product and is automatically added to your shopping cart.

6.2 What if there’s a mistake with the price and there’s a pricing error?

Although the price you pay is the price displayed on the Site at the time we receive your order, there may be circumstances within or out with our control which results in the wrong price being displayed to you.

In such cases, if we discover an error in the price of goods ordered by you, we will inform you as soon as possible after you submit your order and provide you the option of reconfirming your order at the correct price or cancelling it. If we are unable to contact you we will treat the order as cancelled. If you choose to cancel and have already paid for the goods, you will receive a full refund.

 

7. STOCK AND ESTIMATED DELIVERY DATES

7.1 Are all the goods on the Site in stock and available?

We work in much the same way as a department store – many of our products are held in stock in our warehouse and will only be shown on our website if they are in stock. With larger “made to order” items including some furniture, lighting and also more specialist pieces for example wallpapers and fabrics which are “ordered direct from the supplier”, we order these in for you and clearly show the estimated time scale for delivery on each product, and again in the shopping cart.

In the event that an item is temporarily out of stock with our suppliers, we will notify you of the delay as soon as possible, keep you regularly informed of the progress and dispatch it as soon as it arrives. Occasionally items will be more popular than expected and may sell out and may become unavailable or discontinued. We will contact you as soon as possible if we discover any possible delays to your order and offer you an alternative date or if that is not suitable, a full refund. Our design team can also source handpicked alternatives for you that closely match your first choice.

7.2 What are estimated delivery dates?

We partner with a variety of courier and carrier services and will select the most appropriate service for your order. However much as we try, sometimes due to circumstances out with our control, (e.g. poor weather or international holidays or delays during peak periods with the couriers) dates quoted for delivery can only be estimated delivery dates and may be subject to change depending on the carrier network.

This doesn't happen often, but it is possible. In these circumstances we cannot accept liability for any loss or damage (whether direct or indirect) for deliveries made out with the estimated date for delivery.

 

8. BESPOKE (MADE TO ORDER) PRODUCTS IMPORTANT TERMS

8.1. What about delivering bespoke products?

Our collections include a variety of bespoke products such as (but not exclusively) headboards, furniture, or sofas that are made to order specifically for you in your chosen materials or dimensions. Delivery of these items will generally be agreed with you prior to ordering. From time to time, textiles or materials that make up our bespoke products may be out of stock with our manufacturers and this may lead to a delay in the estimated manufacture times. Should this be the case, it is our policy to notify you of the delay as soon as possible, keep you regularly informed of the progress and dispatch it as soon as it arrives.

8.2 How do I cancel a bespoke order? Can I return bespoke items?

By placing an order for a non-standard, customized or special order product with us, you are deemed to have considered all these factors and any others that might affect the order, and accept that you are entirely satisfied that it is the correct product for you. You will not be able to change the order once the item has been entered into production.

You can not cancel a bespoke order.  If you change your mind you need to be aware of our returns policy for bespoke items.  Please ensure that you read and understand the conditions that apply to the sale of customized products as noted in our cancellation provisions below, and our Returns Policy, prior to purchasing.
