We currently deliver to the UK mainland and Northern Ireland. Unfortunately we are unable to deliver to the Scottish Islands, the Isle of Man or the Channel Islands.

We are unable to deliver furniture as part of our next business day delivery service. These products are delivered using specialised couriers who will contact you prior to delivery with an expected delivery time. Any items that are not available for next day delivery will be highlighted on the product page.

The delivery time of your order depends on the type of products you have ordered and their expected delivery time.

If all of your products are available for next day delivery, they should be delivered at the same time.

If your products are a mixture of next day delivery and 3 – 5 business days, they will be sent to you on different delivery days depending on product availability. Product availability can be checked in the product description before adding an item to your basket.

Expected Delivery Times

Products will be delivered by a courier Monday to Friday, 9am to 5.30pm.   Unfortunately you are unable to request a specific delivery time.

After your order has been dispatched from our warehouse, you’ll receive an email detailing order tracking information. You can also check this information in My Account / My Orders.

Depending on the day and time your order is placed, please refer to the table below for expected delivery days. If you place your order on a public holiday, your products will take an additional business day to arrive.
