Shipping policy
Last updated: 30/11/25
This Shipping & Delivery Policy explains how and when your order will be delivered.
It should be read alongside our Terms of Service and Refund & Returns Policy.
Nothing in this policy affects your statutory rights under UK consumer law.
1. Delivery Overview
1.1 Delivery Method
We use trusted third-party courier and specialist furniture delivery partners for all deliveries.
Once your order has been dispatched, you will receive a dispatch confirmation email.
The courier will contact you directly to arrange a delivery date and time slot.
Delivery requires customer availability to accept the goods.
2.1 Total Estimated Delivery Time
Our furniture is made to order. The maximum estimated timeframe, including production and delivery, is:
Up to 22 weeks from order confirmation (when payment is received and specifications are agreed).
Production and delivery are typically completed within approximately 15–16 weeks.
However, we provide the extended 22-week timeframe to account for production variability, supplier lead times, quality control, and delivery scheduling.
Earlier delivery is not guaranteed, and the 22-week estimate should be relied upon when placing your order.
Delivery times are estimates, not guarantees. If delivery is delayed beyond a reasonable period, you may have statutory rights to cancel.
2.2 Production Time
Production time typically ranges from 2 to 8 weeks, depending on:
- Product type
- Level of customisation
- Quantity ordered
Production times form part of the overall 22-week estimate.
2.3 Festive and Peak Period Delays
During festive periods, public holidays, or peak production times, delays may occur due to:
- Increased order volumes
- Supplier closures
- Courier capacity limitations
We will communicate any material delays as soon as reasonably possible.

8. Inspection on Delivery
We recommend that customers inspect goods upon delivery where reasonably possible.

For information on returns, refunds, and remedies, please refer to our Refund & Returns Policy.
9. Custom-Made & Bespoke Products (Delivery Context)
9.1 Definitions
- Custom-made products: Items made to order where customers select fabrics, colours, finishes, or dimensions.

9.2 Production & Delivery
Custom-made and bespoke products enter production following specification approval.
Once production has commenced:
- Orders cannot be cancelled or amended, except where required by law.
This does not affect your statutory rights if goods are faulty, not as described, or not made to the agreed specification.
10. Delays Beyond Our Control
Delivery may be delayed due to events outside our reasonable control, including:
- Severe weather
- Supply chain disruption
- Courier operational issues
- Force majeure events
We will keep customers informed where such delays occur.
