Delivery Timeframes

  • In-stock sofas: delivery within 2–7 working days. We’ll let you know promptly if there are any delays, whether due to stock or shipping disruption.
  • Made-to-order items: you’ll see an estimated delivery date on the product page.
  • Finance orders: delivery timelines start once your finance is approved and your contract is signed.

Delays & Notifications

  • We’ll inform you without delay if your order runs into issues such as stock shortages or external disruption.
  • You’ll receive a revised estimated delivery date and regular updates from our customer care team until your items arrive.

Delivery Coverage

Access & Property Preparation

  • Please ensure clear access to your property, including hallways, lifts, staircases and entrances.
  • Let us know upfront about anything that could complicate delivery — one-way streets, rural lanes, parking restrictions or narrow doorways.
  • If access issues cause damage during delivery, this is the customer’s responsibility and returns or replacements will not be possible.
  • Our two-person crew will deliver your item to your chosen room at no extra charge, including upstairs deliveries.

Delivery Day

  • Expect a courtesy call about one hour before we arrive.
  • Someone needs to be present to accept delivery and ensure pathways are clear.
  • If you notice any visible damage or missing parts, please tell us within 24–48 hours of delivery.

Missed or Failed Deliveries

  • If we can’t reach your property because of access issues we may still attempt delivery. If it isn’t possible, the delivery will fail and charges may apply.
  • Failed deliveries may incur a £100 re-delivery fee (or this will be deducted from any refund if the order is cancelled).
  • If you cancel after a failed delivery, delivery and restocking fees will apply.

Changing Your Delivery Date

  • If we can’t reach you because of incorrect contact details, your delivery may not be scheduled.
  • To change your delivery date, let us know at least 48 hours in advance. Changes made within 48 hours may incur a £50 fee.
