Full Terms and Conditions of Purchase

By using or accessing our website and/or placing any order(s), you agree to be legally bound by these terms and conditions. If you do not wish to be bound by these terms and conditions then you may not use or access our website or place orders.

These terms relate to sales over the Internet at www.wooden-furniture-store.co.uk.

Product Specifications

 

We and our suppliers have a policy of continuous product development and reserve the right to amend the specifications of any goods or products without prior notice in relation to future sales. This includes adjustments to sizes or ornamental detailing on individual items purchased. Please email or call ahead to check exact sizes or potential ornamental changes as on occasions minor adjustments may have been made by our supplier.

 

Products supplied may differ as a consequence from those on display or advertised. Unless agreed with you, the products supplied will be of equivalent value, functionality and appearance.

 

All our furniture is made from quality natural wood and accordingly appearances may vary. Some woods will mellow with age and exposure to sunlight. 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. Certain degrees of filler will be used on oak furniture this is common and very much part of the manufacturing process.

 

The majority of our products are sold fully assembled, however on occasions certain pieces will need minimal assembly, this has been deemed fit to protect the item in carriage.

 

We endeavour to display as accurately as possible the colours of our products that appear on the website. However we cannot guarantee the complete accuracy of the pictures or photographs that are shown. Many conditions such as monitor settings and batching can affect the colouring of items in a picture.

 

From time to time we have a specifically marked section of our site marked as clearance ranges, when you purchase items from a clearance/discontinued range please note that this stock is new and boxed. The items are from a discontinued range and as such are being sold as seconds. The sale price takes this into consideration.

 

The majority of our products are designed with no home assembly needed, however on occasions to aid in delivery or to avoid damage, our designers have deemed it best that certain items will need minimal home assembly. Items needing minimal home assembly will be clearly identified in the individual item description. The product designers have to the best of their ability ensured any assembly is as simple as possible and in no way detracts from the quality or structural integrity of the product.

Measurements

 

We will not accept any liability for any extra costs incurred by you as a result of incorrect or incomplete measurements or information supplied by you, or minor alterations made by the supplier. Please email ahead if a small change in size may deem the item unusable.

 

All dimensions specified by us are approximate.

We will endeavour to fulfil your order by the date set out in the e-mail by which we confirmed your order. Where this e-mail did not contain such a date we shall endeavour to fulfil your order within the time-scales advertised on the individual products on your order. All purchases must make allowance of 21 working days from date of dispatch for our carriers to fulfil the final delivery to your home.

 

Orders totaling less than 30kg may be dispatched by post or courier.

 

For all orders - any changes made to the content of your order will have an impact on your delivery date. We may therefore be unable to deliver your goods on your confirmed delivery date should changes occur and if so, a new delivery date will be given.

 

You are responsible for providing a safe means of access from the public highway to the place of delivery. If the carriers delivery staff consider that access is unsafe then we will not deliver the goods until safe access is provided.

 

If you are unable, for whatever reason, to take delivery of your goods on the confirmed delivery date arranged, you must inform the carriers at least one working day in advance so that another date can be booked. If, through no fault of their own, our carriers cannot gain access on the date agreed, a re-delivery fee of £35 per box will be charged. For deliveries using our parcel carrier service: Should you not be available at the time of attempted delivery you will be left a card with details on so that you can contact the carriers and arrange redelivery yourself. If you do not contact the carrier within 48 hours the furniture will be returned to us. In this instance an aborted delivery fee of £35, plus a return charge of £50 per box will be levied. If we are unable to deliver the goods due to there being no safe means of access to the place of delivery we shall be entitled to cancel your order and refund your payments less an aborted delivery fee of £35 levied by our carriers, the return charge of £50 per box will also be applicable if the items are returned.

The return charge mentioned will be applicable immediately after the items have left our warehouse, ie if the order is cancelled after we have despatched the item but before delivery to the final destination, the return charge levied by our carriers will still be applicable.

 

If our carriers accidentally damage goods in the course of delivery our liability for that damage is limited to the repair, replacement or refund of the goods or the value thereof.

 

Time of delivery is not of the essence in these terms and conditions. We will not be liable for any loss or damage suffered by you through any reasonable delay or delay due to unforeseen circumstances outside of the reasonable control of www.wooden-furniture-store.co.uk or any reasonable rescheduling of delivery.

 

If items are received damaged please call us immediately on 020 7617 7596 and we will rectify the problems as soon as possible. Please do not ask our carriers to arrange exchanges without emailing or calling us as information is not always relayed back to us correctly. If an individual driver from our carriers tells you that they will report and take care of this please ignore this and be sure to email or call us directly. Please report damages within 24 hours of delivery. Please note we will require proof of the damage from a photograph in order to facilitate allowance, exchange or refund of the item.

 

Please remember that although we do offer Free Delivery, we do subsidise your delivery fees on these items. If you wish to return these items we reserve the right to refund less than the original purchase price. This is because we subsidise your original delivery fees which are absorbed in our profit margin, unfortunately we cannot do this for returned items therefore this will be chargeable at £50 per box.

 

In the event that you may choose to have your goods delivered to your own 3rd party carrier – we will not accept any responsibility or liability for any damage to your goods. The forwarding delivery is at the risk and the customer when using your own 3rd party carrier.

If you wish to return the goods, please take reasonable care of the items and it would help if you retained the original packaging.

Please return goods in the same condition as received. We request that if you or the carriers open the box to examine the product please do so without damaging the box and packaging or damaging the product in any way. Please re-package as received in order for us to re-sell the item as brand new. If the carriers unwrap an item please ensure the packaging remains with the customer. Please do not allow carriers or any other party to destroy any packaging as we request the item to be returned with original packaging

Please take into account before purchasing our furniture that once items are dispatched from our warehouses the costs involved with return will be with the customer at £50 per box, therefore it is essential if cancelling an order to let us know immediately to avoid unwanted items being dispatched.

Returns and Refunds Enquiries:

Please note if any items are damaged or faulty please always call us on 0207 617 7596 or email within 24 hours to report this matter however. Please do not return items without prior authorisation. The returns authorisation is valid for up to 7 days only from delivery. Goods sent back without prior returns authorisation will be returned back to you and the cost of delivery charged to your account.

Refunds:

Full refund of the cost of the goods is wholly conditional upon the above conditions being met and the refund authorised only after a full inspection of the goods by our Returns department to check for completeness and correct product return.

For goods received back complete as NEW and unused including all accessories; you will be refunded the full invoice amount less cost of return.

Please note on rare occasions due to extreme climate changes in shipping you may find slight swelling on doors or drawers thus making them stiff to open, it is important not to return or refuse the item if this is case. Usually this will rectify itself in a matter of 7 days once the timbers adjust to their new environment and heating conditions, you may also find that simply swapping the drawers will remedy this. However on rare occasions the timber movement may not settle and you may need to sand or shave a small amount from a drawer or door, if so please shave from the bottom of the drawer front or from the side of the door as this will not be noticeable with regards to the look of the furniture. A simple touch of danish oil will then protect any adjustments made. Currently less than half of one percent ( 0.50% ) of our furniture is affected by timber movement, however please could we ask you to bear in mind that you are purchasing natural timber products where slight timber movement in shipping is a slim possibility. Therefore stiff drawers or doors will not be deemed as faulty or defective. This means you are purchasing our furniture on the understanding that any necessary simple adjustments would be need to be undertaken by the customer at the customers expense. If you do not wish to undertake any adjustments needed and wish to return the item we will of course offer a refund under our full 7 day moneyback offer.

Please take care to research all the above points further with your local specialist as to avoid any disputes after purchase.

If you are unable, for whatever reason, to facilitate collection of your goods on the confirmed date arranged, you must inform the carriers at least one working day in advance so that another date can be booked. If, through no fault of their own, our carriers cannot gain access on the date agreed, an aborted collection fee of £35 will be charged.

 

After this 14 day period has expired we will be unable to accept returns of any items purchased unless faulty.

 

Subject to your statutory rights, products made or altered specifically for you, may not be returned nor will we provide any refund, unless they are defective or have been accidentally damaged by us in the course of delivery.

 

If we deliver incorrect or damaged goods, or in the event that you discover any defect in the goods for which you require compensation or other remedy, you must report the defect within 7 days of the date you receive them, or as soon as possible thereafter by emailing us. Please keep the products purchased in a saleable condition and retain the original packaging in the condition it was provided. Should it be deemed impractical to offer a replacement, redelivery or re-selection of any damaged or faulty items we reserve the right to offer an allowance against a repair, or alternatively a refund for your purchase. Any non faulty items returned will always be returned at the expense of the customer at £50 per item.

 

We will not be liable for any damage or loss resulting from repairs attempted by you or third parties.
