Delivery service

(Please read carefully before bidding)

Due to the low selling prices and low delivery fees we are unable to offer timed delivery services, we urge you to read very carefully below on how your purchase will be delivered before bidding.

Respectfully on occasions incorrect assumptions are made about delivery services, please do not bid if you are not fully agreeable to the points below.

1. We will deliver within the specified delivery date quoted on the ad, via various methods of delivery. (2 man, Parcel or local carrier)

2. We will choose accordingly the most efficient delivery service applicable, this is strictly at our discretion.

3. We will inform you by email on despatch the method to be used and provide full delivery details and when to expect delivery:-

Method 1. Parcel carrier

This service is used generally for smaller items, however on occasions individual larger items will be sent via this method. We will email on despatch when the item has been released to carriers explaining delivery method and providing full tracking details. The item will be with you within 48 hours of despatch.

Please note our parcel carrier will not telephone ahead to book the delivery, however if you are not in they will leave a card with a contact telephone number for you to agree a convenient date. This card must be responded to within 48 hours to avoid the item being returned to us hence creating a recharged delivery. Our carriers cannot offer any timed or Saturday drops and this will be a one man door to door service, assistance will be required with lifting the item from the vehicle.

Method 2. 2 Man carrier

This service is used generally for Larger or Multiple items. We will email on despatch when the item has been released to carriers explaining delivery method.

Once the item is received in the relevant depot, the carrier will telephone ahead to book the delivery on a mutually convenient date, this is why we will always ask for your telephone numbers to be given on payment just in case this method is used.

These items will be delivered by 2 men and delivered into a room of your choice. The items will generally be delivered via a 7.5 tonne vehicle so please be sure your property is accessible for this size of truck.

Our carriers cannot offer any timed or Saturday drops. Please note if the carriers do feel able offer a timed drop, please decline this and arrange on a midweek day you are available 9am - 8pm. You must be prepared to be flexible as due to the unpredictable nature of furniture deliveries exact times are sometimes impossible to honour. Our carriers main line of work is business to business deliveries and the carriers may offer to help with good intentions but ultimately it is us who this reflects upon if they cannot meet this promise.

We strongly advise that when the carriers call to arrange delivery that you choose a full clear day in your diary. If the carrier does offer a timed drop and suffers delays in reaching you then this way you are not inconvenienced. If the carriers arranges a timed delivery then please be aware we have advised to decline and this is not part of our agreed terms, we can accept no liability for any losses or inconvenience caused.

Please always ask for a contact name, telephone and consignment number of the carriers local depot when they call to book in.

If the carriers deliver without booking in please do not accept the delivery unless you are 100% happy to do so, you will not be recharged if they have failed to book in.

In plain English we are saying if you wish to purchase our items please be aware that some time in the near future you will have to make yourself available on a prearranged midweek day from 9am - 8pm to accept the delivery of this furniture to your door.

3. Our local carrier

Our local carrier may be used on rare occasions for larger or difficult deliveries.

Once again please send your telephone numbers on payment at end of sale, these numbers could be important should our carriers choose to book the delivery.

Please note that sending your telephone number will only result in a telephone call if delivery is via our 2 man carrier.

We are unable offer a collection facility on any item - All items are shipped direct to you.

We deliver only to mainland UK!!!!

Items sold quoting "Item is currently on a container..."

Please note that when we sell items quoting "Item is currently on a container..." this means it is not yet reached the uk, the times quoted on the ad are anticipated docking dates into the uk and a set time for smooth customs clearance, unfortunately however delays can sometimes occur in shipping and it is advised to always allow 21 days from payment clearance date on ad for delivery to your home. This is to allow for unforeseen delays in customs clearance etc and possible shipping re-routes which are beyond our control.

Damages

All damages must be reported by email within 24 hours and noted on carriers note on delivery if possible. Please send photographic evidence if possible. Please under no circumstances sign the delivery note "unchecked" this is not recognised by carriers as sufficient to lodge an insurance claim in the case of damages.

Please note that any damaged or faulty items may be repaired, replaced or refunded in line with our 7 day money back guarantee. Individual circumstances may deem it is not possible to offer a replacement so a repair in these cases may be offered, this will be looked at on an individual basis at the sellers discretion.

At the sellers discretion a replacement on damaged or faulty items may not be viable, therefore in these cases a repair or refund will be offered. please do not bid if this is not understood.

General important points

Colours and shades

It is virtually impossible to 100% portray colours of natural wood products in a picture on the web, from batch to batch and container to container colours can vary as indeed from piece to piece the same can be said. Simple things such as your monitor settings or particular lighting used when taking marketing photographs can effect shading.

If you are buying to match an existing piece in your home we have endeavoured to give the best portrayal of the colour, but please remember pictures alone can never be 100% accurate re colour. We cannot accept colour or shade differences as faults. As a rule dark items look lighter in the flesh and light items look darker in the flesh.

Please note that if items are purchased from different containers at differing times we cannot guarantee a shade match to existing pieces, shades can vary on differing containers dramatically, this is part of the reason we strongly advise to purchase items as soon as you see them and try to purchase on the same evening. If you do want to purchase an item a significant length of time after your first purchase please be sure to email ahead to ask our opinion of potential shading differences.

If you are unhappy with your purchase because of a shade difference or indeed any other reason we are more than willing if informed within 7 days to offer a refund , however all carriage and collection costs will be at at the buyers expense. (see below)

Due to the way we buy, every item must be treated as a one off. We may obtain one, we may obtain twenty. Under these trading conditions it is not feasible to have a website as stock availability changes so quickly. We also sell these items to contract, hotels, business's, trade venues etc and stock generally goes very rapidly. Therfore to ensure stock is reserved for you we must insist on payment within 7 days.

If we offer at e-bay auction we will always keep items to one side to fulfill the order of the winning bidder. However it is very important not to presume that we have more than one available unless specifically stated, if you need a second matching item please e-mail ahead to check.

Please note that on occasions our supplier will alter the designs or sizes of the items slightly to suit different markets, we are not always informed of this from batch to batch so on rare occasions you may find a small changes from the picture or description, due to the way we buy we cannot accept these as faults but as mentioned you are able to return the item with all postage costs being at the buyers expense. If your item is for a very specific purpose please be sure to email ahead before bidding to check that there are no specific changes that could affect the usage .

We really hope to offer the best service possible but sometimes things like shade differences, distressing levels (see below) and manufacturer changes are out of our control due to the way we buy, if this is a concern to you we ask you not to bid on our items to avoid disputes afterwards.

You will see by our feedback that over 99% of our customers are delighted with there purchases, however on occasions regrettably incorrect assumptions are made about products or services and we encourage you to ask questions if specific services are needed.

We will list everything we are able to sell to the public via e-bay, we receive 100's of e-mails per week asking for other items. The general rule of thumb is if it is available it will be in "view sellers other items". If we are not listing it then we do not have it.

Care of Furniture

Due to the nature of solid wood, changes in relative humidity may cause some small movement in the timbers, great care has been taken to reduce the incidence of such occurrence, however by the very nature of the solid timbers the complete elimination is impossible.

All our timbers are dried to beyond acceptable moisture contents, However wood is a natural fibre and can never be 100% guaranteed against small amounts of movement. It is extremely rare that the structural integrity of our furniture will be compromised.

Please avoid furniture polishes such as Mr sheen etc, this will dry out the timbers. Please simply buff with a dry lint free cloth for best results.

Our solid oak furniture will require treating approx every 3 months with Danish oil, this is inexpensive and available from any DIY retailer, please treat your furniture immediately on delivery as your item may have been in shipping for some time, failure to treat oak items as instructed could result in drying and cracking.

Distressed and Rustic Furniture

Please bear in mind that when you are purchasing our furniture you are buying handmade furniture where varying degrees of distressing is generally applied. This is very much intended and makes each piece totally individual as desired by the craftsmen. We sell only genuine rustic designs with varying degrees of distressing from piece to piece, this may involve wood splits,wood filling, knots, purpose distress/scratch marks, antiquing etc etc. The basic desire is to give the piece the lived in look, this is an advantage for the future use of your furniture as bumps and bruises are not so noticeable as on highly polished clones. Any small bumps or bruises can very easily in turn be rectified with the use of touch up pens etc.

Please be aware that a certain degree of filler will be used on oak furniture this is common and very much part of the process.

Please note that our Indian Jali, Mango, Isis, vega and leon items are usually of a very rustic nature and a heavy distressing is usually applied, this may appear as a dulling or rubbing effect to the waxed finish, knotty and grainy woods are used, this is as intended by the supplier.

Please take care to research distressed furniture further with your local specialist as to avoid any disputes after purchase.

If a highly polished clone is required then you may be better looking for the wholesale versions.

Feedback

Due to time constraints from the volumes of customers that are currently purchasing our furniture, we must inform you that our feedback is set to auto respond, this simply means that once your feedback is posted in a positive manner you will receive your positive feedback response immediately. Please note that when refunds or returns are requested, we will respectfully ask for the positive feedback to be completed in advance of return of the items, your feedback will be responded to automatically and the further collection/return process will always be honoured without question in line with our full terms and conditions .

7 Day money back guarantee

You have the right to cancel an order providing you inform us and is acknowledged in writing (e-mail) within 7 days of delivery. All costs re the delivery and collection will be at the buyers expense. This will generally be the original advertised postage rate per individual item plus the same rate again for return carriage.

Please note the return offer is only on items delivered, we do not accept cancellation of items before delivery, the bid is a legally bidding contract and we will insist on completion of sale due to our costs involved via ebay selling. Therefore please do not bid if you are not 100% sure the item is needed and will be paid for.

All return items must be in the original wrappings and unused, therefore we make special mention to be very careful when unwrapping the items to keep the wraps intact. Please keep hold of the original pallet that the items were delivered on as you will need to return on this pallet strapped in the manner the item was received, this is essential to avoid damages on return and we must let you know at this stage that the responsibility for this is with the buyer.

This is put in place to allow you the consumer a closer inspection of the item first hand as you bought this item"at a distance" but also allows us the seller to be able to re sell the item as brand new. If the item is not resell able as new when returned we will not issue a refund.

The carriers used are in our opinion the most cost effective and offer the best service available in the complex matter of delivering these heavy items to you at rock bottom prices. Please note that although we have chosen the carriers used the fees paid for delivery are forwarded to the carriers and are non refundable once the items leave our warehouse. The only occasion that the carriers will refund carriage payments are if the postal insurance has been taken.

Please do not bid on our items unless you are 100% agreeable that all carriage and collection costs are met by the buyer on all occasions if postal insurance not taken.

Dependant on circumstances of the return the advertised individual carriage fees may be applicable to each item ordered, this basically means that although we may subsidise your original delivery fees we reserve the right to refund less the actual cost to us of delivery and collection if items are returned.

Put basically we offer a no quibble refund policy on items delivered, however the costs involved and the responsibility to oversee the sufficient re-packaging / palletising for safe return will be with the buyer.

If the carriage insurance is not taken the carriage costs will be met by the buyer.

We hope we have made our terms clear and urge you if in doubt please do not bid on our items in order to avoid disputes after the sale.

Please could we ask you to read all the information above before bidding on our items, we are an online auctioneer therefore you must be aware of all our terms and conditions before bidding as all bids and conditions are binding.
