Delivery Information
How long does delivery take?
Depending on the products you have ordered, we typically aim to deliver products within 7 days, however, the majority of products are ordered from the manufacturer and could take longer, special orders can be confirmed on order. There are, however, many items which are available for immediate dispatch. We have provided a guide for each product that you view explaining the approximate delivery period it takes for us to receive the goods from the relevant supplier from your initial order date. If you require a more precise delivery time please email us.
Scale of Delivery Charges -
Our delivery charges are displayed on the product page and there is one charge per order (not per item) .

Export charges can be discussed with our sales department for all other World Wide destinations including Zero VAT destinations being a speciality.
Can I pick up my order?
Yes. If you prefer to pickup your order from our showroom or warehouse, please select this option when proceeding through the Checkout. We will then telephone you once your items are ready for collection and of course, there will be no delivery costs incurred.
Delivery Service -
Smaller items will be sent via DHL Parcels or XDP
Most larger orders and fragile items (ceramic, glass) will be delivered on a pallet as this is the best way to protect items. You will be contacted to arrange a convenient delivery day.
Please note, the pallet delivery service is a “kerb side” only service and drivers are not able to take goods off the pallet or inside the property.
Please inspect your order on arrival and alert the driver to any issue with the packaging or goods. Please report damages with photographs as soon as possible and inform the driver should any of the packaging be suspect and make sure this is noted on his paperwork.
