1Cancelling before delivery

Online and phone orders

  • You can cancel any time before your order is dispatched for a full refund, including delivery.
  • If you cancel after dispatch, or refuse delivery, this will be treated as a return and our collection charge will apply (see Returning an item).

Showroom orders

  • Showroom orders are not covered by the 14-day cooling-off period that applies to online orders.
  • You can cancel free of charge within 48 hours of placing your order.
  • After 48 hours, cancellation is at our discretion, and we will deduct our reasonable costs of up to 20% of the order value from your deposit or refund.
  • Showroom orders can’t be cancelled once dispatched.

To cancel, email support@dantefurniture.com with your order number.

2Returning an item (change of mind)

Online and phone orders

  • If you change your mind, you must tell us within 14 days of delivery. Please contact us before returning anything.
  • You can return your item in one of two ways:
OPTION 1Return it yourself, free of chargeArrange your own transport and bring the item to your nearest Dante Furniture store (Burnley or Mexborough) at a time we agree with you. We’ll refund everything you paid, including standard delivery.
OPTION 2We collect it, for a collection chargeWe charge 15% of the price of the items returned, up to a maximum of £300 per order, which is deducted from your refund. We refund the rest, including standard delivery.
  • Your item must be returned, or ready for collection, within 14 days of telling us, with feet removed and any detachable parts packed as they arrived.
  • If you return it yourself, the item must be properly protected. It remains your responsibility until it reaches us, and any damage caused in transit will be deducted from your refund.
  • Items are inspected when we receive them. If an item has been used or handled beyond what’s needed to check it (for example stains, marks, odours, pet hair or damage), we will deduct an amount for the loss in value, up to the full price.

Showroom orders

  • We don’t accept change-of-mind returns on showroom purchases once delivered.

3Items that can’t be returned for change of mind

  • Made-to-order items (custom sizes, customer’s own fabric, special-order fabrics or finishes outside our standard range, and bespoke configurations, marked “Made to order” on the product page and your order confirmation) can be cancelled free of charge within 48 hours of ordering. After that, they can’t be cancelled or returned for change of mind, as they are made especially for you.
  • If we agree to cancel a made-to-order item after 48 hours, we will deduct our costs, which may be up to the full price if production has started.
  • Mattresses can’t be returned once the hygiene seal has been removed, unless faulty.
  • Showroom ex-display and clearance purchases are sold as seen and can’t be cancelled or returned for change of mind.
  • Online clearance purchases keep your 14-day right to cancel. You can return the item yourself free of charge, or we can collect it for our collection charge (see Returning an item).

None of this affects your rights if an item is faulty.

4If your furniture won’t fit

  • It’s your responsibility to check your furniture will fit. Please measure doorways, hallways, stairs, landings, turns and the room itself, and compare them with the dimensions on our product page.
  • If it won’t fit on the day, you can choose to:
OPTION 1Keep itHave it left in another room or at your door, at your own risk.
OPTION 2Send it backHave it taken back by our team.
  • Online and phone orders taken back are treated as a change-of-mind return. Our collection charge applies (see Returning an item), and we’ll refund the rest, including standard delivery.
  • Showroom orders taken back can be exchanged for another item. You pay any price difference plus a redelivery charge. Alternatively, at our discretion, we may cancel your order and deduct our costs of up to 20% of the order value, plus the delivery charge.
