Delivery of your order

We pride ourselves on exemplary customer service, so we want the choosing, buying and taking delivery of your purchase to be an enjoyable experience. Therefore you will find some information below to help you.

Do you charge for delivery?

Please see delivery charges below. These charges only apply to UK mainland. Other charges may apply to Highland, Islands and Northern Ireland.

Small items are not affected

Where do we deliver?

We can deliver your goods within the United Kingdom mainland and Northern Ireland although there may be additional charges for delivery to the Highlands & Islands and Northern Ireland. In the interests of your security and ours, we will only deliver once the current billing address on your credit/debit card used to place the order is verified to the banks system.

Please be aware DHL do not offer their ‘predict one hour delivery window’ service for 2 day highland, island or Ireland deliveries. This will effect you if you are in these areas so you may need to make arrangements to be in to receive your parcel.

How will my goods be delivered?

Larger items will be delivered using a ‘white glove delivery service’. This generally involves a 2 person team who will deliver the item to the delivery address and place, unpack and undertake construction of the product. For white glove deliveries our courier will contact you when they receive your complete order into the warehouse to arrange a delivery slot or either AM or PM. We will endeavour to contact you by telephone up to an hour before the scheduled delivery time but this cannot be guaranteed. Smaller items will be usually be delivered by our courier – DHL, who will require a signature of acceptance, though the courier we use may vary.

How long will it take for my goods to arrive?

Smaller items in stock are normally dispatched within 48 hours of receipt of order (excluding weekends and public holidays). Goods in stock that require a 2 man delivery team may have a longer lead-time, please call us to discuss your time scale requirements. Where a customer’s delivery address needs verification this may be longer. Lead times for larger or more customised items i.e. sofas beds and mattresses etc. vary between manufacturers and are mainly made to order, so as such production times of 4-6 weeks may apply (Our staff wil be happy to give you more detailed information). Lead times are quoted in good faith and can be discussed with a member of our staff. There are occasions where situations beyond our control extend this lead time after placing your order such as factory holiday shutdowns and public holidays in originating countries. We will not be held responsible for any inconvenience or loss caused as a result of these situations delaying your order. Any dates quoted for delivery of the goods are approximate only and Peter Betteridge Furnishers Ltd shall not be liable for any delay in delivery of the goods however caused.

Can you deliver to the Channel Islands, Isle of Man or an international address?

Yes we can, although it may attract an additional delivery charge and added security and address verification measures to protect you and us against fraud. Ask us for more information. When ordering from outside the UK or specifying a delivery address outside the UK it is recommended that you contact us by telephone before confirming the order. Failure to do so may result in the order not being accepted.

Can you store my goods?

Yes we can, for specified orders we can hold goods for a period of 4 weeks from receipt to our warehouse or courier without charge during that period. After 4 weeks customers will be charged storage relevant to the goods ordered and the duration of time held. The balance of the order must be paid in full after 4 weeks with risk of loss of the deposit or balance of the order against the cost of storage customers will be contacted by phone or email to be advised of the charges, it is usually worked out based on cubic metres or squared metres of space taken in the warehouse.

Is there anything else I should know?

We aim to have stock available on all items, however there are cases when this is not possible and items may be despatched directly from a manufacturer.

No orders will be delivered if there is an outstanding balance on your account. Delivery will be arranged after complete payment is taken, or any finance arrangement is confirmed.

In the event that you miss your delivery, a card will be left with contact details for collection from the delivery service provider.

The risk in the goods shall pass to the customer on delivery which must be signed for if required.

For our ‘white glove delivery service’ our team must have normal ground floor access and the route and the room must be large enough to accommodate your order. If the product does not fit into your home, it will be classed as a cancelled order and costs will be incurred by you. The team will ask you to inspect your items carefully before signing for delivery and any assembly. If you’re dissatisfied for any reason, please inform the team at the time.

Where you have been offered our bed/furniture disposal service (whereby we remove and dispose of your old bed or furniture on delivery of your new items) provision of this service is conditional upon the product having been disassembled prior to our collection and not being infested, wet or heavily soiled.

In the UK, delivery charge refunds can only be made in accordance with your legal rights under the Consumer Protection (Distance Selling) Regulations 2000 and other applicable legislation. Similar rights may apply for some international deliveries. For further information about your legal rights see “Your Right to Cancel” section below and contact your local authority Trading Standards department or consumer advice centre (for example the Citizen’s Advice Bureau for UK customers).

Delays

Changes to your order

Any changes to your order must be notified to us in writing and within a reasonable time. If you amend or change your order you may find there are changes to your delivery timetable and / or the price you pay for the item (you will be charged the current selling price on the day you amend your order).
