All areas should be clear of any obstructions or hazards as a result driver may refuse delivery if it threatens health and safety violations.

If by any chance the delivery has a high risk of potential damages to your property or couriers' wellbeing/health from arising obstructions or access issues the couriers have option to refuse to fulfil delivery. Under these circumstances, goods will return back to depot and customer has option of an additional chargeable delivery or refund. However, delivery costs will be deducted from the refund as delivery fees are non-refundable. Made to order/bespoke items such as beds/sofas are also non-refundable.

Couriers have an alternative option to leave items at point of entry of premise subject to written permission by customer. If the customer grants permission in writing to leave goods at point of entry, it is customers responsibility to take furniture to designated location. In this case, all items should be inspected there and then, and we will not be liable for any damages/missing items after this point.
