Packaging and Handling
We understand the value of your furniture and take all necessary steps to ensure it reaches you in perfect condition. Each item is carefully packaged using protective materials to prevent damage during transit.
Our team inspects every product before dispatch to ensure it meets our quality standards. Larger furniture items may be shipped partially assembled and will require simple assembly upon arrival. We include instructions when needed, and our customer service team is available to assist you.
Receiving Your Order
Upon delivery, we recommend inspecting the package before signing the delivery receipt. If you notice any visible damage to the packaging or the product itself, please:
- Notify the delivery team immediately
- Take clear photos of the damage
- Contact us within 24 hours via email or phone
This allows us to file a claim with the courier if needed and resolve the issue for you promptly.

Our delivery team will make every effort to contact you before delivery. Please ensure that the shipping address provided during checkout is accurate and accessible.
In the event of a missed delivery due to:

- Restricted access to the property
We will reschedule the delivery, but additional charges may apply depending on the circumstances.
Delays and Out-of-Stock Items
In rare cases, your order may be delayed due to stock availability, supplier issues, or production delays. If any part of your order is delayed, we will contact you as soon as possible to provide an update and an estimated timeline.
If an item becomes unavailable after your order is placed, you will be notified and offered the following options:
- A similar product as a replacement
- A backorder with an updated delivery timeline

We appreciate your understanding and will always prioritize clear communication and solutions.
