7. AVAILABILITY AND DELIVERY

UK: We aim to deliver your goods as soon as possible after receipt of your order, although the time taken is subject to stock availaibility. In the event that an item is out of stock, we will advise you accordingly and provide an estimated delivery date after the product is anticipated to be back in stock – we will always aim to deliver within 30 days of your order. Delivery service charges will be applied to website orders as determined by our delivery service charge policy, which we may vary. Our delivery service charge includes the cost of 1 unsuccessful attempt to deliver. There will be a further charge for each further attempt at delivery. Currently a delivery service charge of £3 applies for all UK orders between £6.50 and £15, £5.50 delivery charge applies to UK orders over £15 and up to £100, and for all UK orders over £100 or below £6.50, postage and packaging is free of charge.
Delivery charges for Furniture and Large Bespoke lighting orders to be quoted individually. Please ask for details.
Note that Scotland, Ireland, Channel Islands and Isle of Man must be quoted separately for delivery. Payment will not be taken at the check out stage on any Orders placed from these regions, and our office will contact the customer with a shipping quote.
Overseas deliveries – We accept orders for delivery to any global destination with delivery charges quoted upon receipt of your order. Any customer placing an order from overseas will not be charged at the point of check out – a member of our team will obtain a shipping quote and contact the customer for approval, and request full payment for the order, which will be taken over the telephone.
Our website order system is not linked to actual stock levels. It is therefore possible that your order is placed for items that are out of stock. We endeavor at all times to keep the website up to date with products that are in stock at any time, however on occasion due to demand an item may have sold out before our team has been able to remove the product from the site
When we become aware of this we will advise you that the item is out of stock, when stock is likely to be replenished and therefore when you can expect us to deliver. If we never intend to replenish such stock, which is likely in case of Saleshop items in particular, we will advise you of this and be happy to discuss alternatives with you. In the event that you decide not to proceed with an alternative we will return to you any payment made by you as soon as possible using the same payment details as used for your original payment.

9.2 These prices include VAT but exclude delivery costs, which will be added to the total amount due at online checkout.
9.3 Prices are liable to change at any time, but changes will not affect orders in respect of which we have already received payment.
9.4 Our site contains a large number of Products and it is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the Products listed on our site may be incorrectly priced. We will normally verify prices as part of our dispatch procedures so that, where a Product’s correct price is less than our stated price, we will charge the lower amount when dispatching the Product to you. If a Product’s correct price is higher than the price stated on our site, we will normally, at our discretion, either contact you for instructions before dispatching the Product, or reject your order and notify you of such rejection.
9.5 We are under no obligation to provide the Product to you at the incorrect (lower) price, even after we have sent you a Dispatch Confirmation, if the pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could have reasonably been recognised by you as a mis-pricing.
9.6 Payment for all Products must be by credit or debit card. We accept payment from the credit and debit cards accessable at online checkout, with the exception of Diners Club. We will automatically charge your credit or debit card on receipt of your order. We do not accept cheques for payment of website orders.
9.7 The material on the Website is provided “as is”, without any conditions, warranties or other terms of any kind. Accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted by law, the Company provides you with the Website on the basis that the Company excludes all representations, warranties, conditions and other terms (including, without limitation, the conditions implied by law of satisfactory quality and fitness for purpose) which, but for this legal notice, might have effect in relation to the Website.
