4.1 Delivery charges and timings

The charges will be displayed on the order page before payment is requested. The time frames shown are subject to availability not guaranteed. Some furniture items may take longer and you will be notified when placing the order.

In addition the following post codes have extended delivery lead times as shown:

We cannot deliver items within the same order to multiple addresses. If this is required please place separate orders for each address. A separate delivery charge will be made for each address where applicable.

Deliveries are made Monday to Friday (excluding bank and public holidays). The precise timing of a delivery cannot be specified. Deliveries require a signature to confirm receipt. Please note that any deliveries containing age restricted products (e.g. alcohol or knives) must be delivered to the credit/debit card holder's address or a nominated store (see below) and have to be signed for by an adult.

Once delivered, the products ordered will become your property (provided they have been paid for in full) and your responsibility and, except in relation to products that are damaged or faulty when delivered or have been incorrectly delivered, we will not accept any liability for their loss, damage or destruction after they have been delivered.

If you choose your delivery to be made to one of our stores you may receive an email once your order is ready to be collected from the store or one of our store associates will call you. Please pick up your order within 10 working days of notification. If you don't collect your parcel or contact us within 10 working days of notification Bhs is not obliged to hold your goods. To collect your goods, please bring with you to store your invoice and a form of identification carrying your name and home address such as driving licence or utility bill. The invoice is sent with your order confirmation via email after you have placed your order with us, except when you have ordered in store.

4.2 What areas do you deliver to?
Delivery can only be made to UK addresses excluding P.O. Boxes. Unfortunately at this time we cannot take orders for delivery to British Forces Post Offices (BFPO), International addresses, The Channel Islands (GY, JE) and the Republic of Ireland.

4.3 What happens if I am not at home?
In order to make sure you receive your goods as soon as possible, if you are not at home when we try to deliver we might leave your parcel with one of your neighbours. If we do this we will leave a card stating where the parcel has been left. Please note that any deliveries containing age restricted products (e.g. alcohol or knives) must be delivered to the credit/debit card holder's address and have to be signed for by an adult.

In case we can not reach you or your neighbours to receive your parcel we will leave a card in your letterbox to notify you that we tried to deliver your parcel. Please follow the instructions on the card to schedule a delivery day. You will find the contact details on the card.

4.4 Delivery Overview
Subject to availability, we will use all reasonable endeavours to deliver the products you have ordered within the time stated for the delivery service you have selected after your order is accepted by us. An estimated delivery time for your order will be displayed on the payment and delivery page before you place your order. Please note that certain products which are not available from stock have a delivery time which may be longer than 30 days from the date an order is placed. Where that is the case, it will be made clear on the payment and delivery page before you place your order. We will usually deliver all products comprised in your order in one delivery. However, due to size of some of the products or large quantities ordered we may have to split your order and you might receive multiple parcels. Please note you will only get charged once for delivery. For deliveries to home the confirmation of despatch email will contain an estimated delivery date for your order, an order tracking number and a link to the website of our nominated courier to enable you to track the status of your delivery. For deliveries to store please contact your nominated store.

If you choose delivery to one of our stores, you can collect your parcel during the opening hours of our stores once you have been notified that your order arrived in the store. Delivery cost to our Bhs stores is FREE. This option is not available for furniture.

5. Furniture Delivery

5.1 Delivery of your furniture order

Our distribution centre will contact you once they have received your order and discuss a convenient date for delivery. They will offer you the first available date and time slot for delivery in your area, this is normally within 14 days from the date we have contacted you to arrange delivery in the case of "14 Day Express" furniture. We request that you accept the earliest date offered for delivery. Our distribution centre will offer you an AM or PM delivery slot, more specific times of delivery cannot be given. When ordering furniture, please carefully check the dimensions specified to ensure that the product will fit comfortably through the necessary doorways and hallway of your property and also in the room where you intend to keep the furniture. We always estimate delivery times in good faith, however we cannot guarantee that estimated delivery times will always be met due to unforeseen circumstances.

Where your furniture is made to order, there may be delays in manufacturing and delivering your order, for example, due to material shortages, import delays or higher than anticipated demand. We will make every effort to keep these delays to a minimum and will advise you of any delays as soon as we are able to do so. By placing your order, you acknowledge and accept that such delays are possible. We will not be liable to pay any compensation as a result of any delay. If your order is delayed by more than 5 weeks of the approximate delivery date given at the time you placed your order online you are entitled to cancel your order and receive a full refund via the same method of payment used for the purchase.

5.2 Standard Delivery
Furniture orders have standard delivery charges of £35 UK Mainland, £45 Northern Ireland & £80 for the Republic of Ireland. As part of our standard furniture delivery service, we deliver to your room of choice, unpack and remove packaging and assemble the product (unless the product is stated on our Website as customer self assembly). If the product is stated as self assembly you will need to make arrangements to assemble the product yourself. Standard delivery only covers delivery to a ground floor, basement or first floor level (subject to access). We cannot deliver above this level unless there is suitable lift access or you arrange a special delivery with our carrier (see below). If you cancel "14 Day Express" furniture order within 14 days of placing your order, we will refund your standard delivery charge if you have paid one. The delivery charge for made-to-order furniture is non-refundable. Please see the cancellations and returns policy for express orders below.

5.3 Special Delivery
If you require your product to be delivered to a level above the 1st floor level and there is no suitable lift access, or your delivery address has road access which is limited, please inform the distribution centre when they contact you to arrange delivery. They will inform you at this stage if your delivery will incur an additional special delivery charge. If you require a special delivery, any extra charges are to be paid for by you in advance directly to the distribution centre and are non-refundable.

5.4 Repeat Delivery
If no one is present to accept delivery of the goods on the date agreed with you and you require us to redeliver at a later date, you will be charged a further repeat delivery charge of £45, which must be paid prior to the redelivery. This is applicable even if the original delivery was to be made free of charge. Any repeat delivery charge is non-refundable.

5.5 Cancellation of Delivery
If you wish to rearrange delivery you must give at least 48 hours notice of cancellation of your delivery. If 48 hours notice is not given you will be charged £45.00 to be paid in advance of any rearranged delivery date.

5.6 Storage Charge
If your goods remain at our warehouse for more than four weeks, during which time you fail to accept delivery/redelivery (despite us having contacted you to do so) and you have not cancelled your order in accordance with these terms and conditions, you will incur storage charges of £15 per week until delivery is accepted. We reserve the right to refuse to deliver your order until such time as you have paid any such storage charge.

5.7 Furniture Delivery Locations
We do not deliver furniture to all areas and cannot offer a 14 day delivery service throughout the UK. Where a 14 day delivery service is available, goods are clearly marked on our Site as "14 Day Express" or "14 Day". All other furniture items are made-to-order. As we do not commence the service of making the made-to-order until after you have placed your order, these goods take longer to deliver. Delivery can only be made to mainland UK & Ireland addresses excluding P.O. Boxes. Unfortunately at this time we cannot take orders for delivery to British Forces Post Offices (BFPO), International addresses or the Channel Islands (GY, JE).

If you have ordered a "14 Day Express" item, we cannot guarantee 7-day furniture delivery to the following postcodes:

• Aberdeen (A33 to AB38, AB41 to AB56)
• Dumfries & Galloway (DG1 to DG16)

We reserve the right to change the areas to which we deliver without notice.

5.8 Short Delivery, Defective Goods Or Damaged Goods
We strongly advise you to thoroughly check your goods upon receipt. Please read through and sign the "Proof of Delivery" (POD) and sign the relevant sections. This will protect your interests regarding any claim concerning short delivery (i.e. missing items) and/or damaged and/or defective goods found on delivery, or concerning damaged or defective goods found at a later date. We do not accept any claims for damage caused by you, the customer.

5.9 Cancellation & Returns Procedure for "14 Day Express" Furniture Orders Only

We do not commence the manufacture of these goods until after you have placed your order and they are made specifically for you. (Please note that the Distance Selling Regulations do not apply to these goods). If you cancel or amend all or part of your order prior to delivery, you agree that we will have the right to retain 20% of the order value.

5.12 Description of Products
Each product purchased is sold subject to its Product Description. We will take all reasonable care to ensure that all details, descriptions and prices of products appearing on the Website are correct at the time when the relevant information was entered onto the system. Although we aim to keep the Website as up to date as possible, the information, including Product Descriptions, appearing on this Website at a particular time may not always reflect the position at the exact moment you place an order. Photographs displayed on our Website and display models and samples in our stores are representative of the finished product. Whilst every effort will be made to match all colours and finishes, goods are supplied on the understanding that there may be some slight dye, shade and grain variations, particularly with natural products.

5.13 Furniture measurements
It is entirely your responsibility to ensure that the goods ordered fit into the delivery address. We accept no responsibility for failed deliveries due to insufficient access or restricted access to the room of choice. Therefore before ordering, please ensure that there is adequate room to take the furniture through any doorways and windows, taking note of any restricted passageways, stairs and awkward turns (if you are unsure please inform our Distribution Centre of any concerns when they contact you to book your delivery). Where the order will not fit, and delivery is not possible, you accept that you will be liable for the goods and will not be entitled to a refund or replacement on these grounds. Upon arrival to deliver the product, you may be asked to sign a disclaimer form releasing us from any liability resulting from damage caused to your property in the course of the delivery. The product dimensions on our Website are for your guidance only, and represent the dimensions of the product when fully assembled. Please note these dimensions do not take into account any external packaging. All sizes quoted are approximate. Size and product descriptions are given in good faith from Bhs supplier information.

Products are manufactured to perform within the appropriate industry measurement tolerances.

5.14 Natural Materials
Wood - we ensure all necessary quality checks are made to ensure that your goods are within set tolerances but wood is a natural material and therefore is subject to certain inconsistencies (eg: knots, grain and colouration). This is part of the charm and character of the product when selecting wooden products.

Leather - A natural product and each hide will have its own individual characteristics and natural marks. These products are made from quality hides and may not be uniform in colour or texture and will naturally show characteristic marks and scars. Please consider carefully if these natural irregularities are for you, before you purchase. We select only hides of the highest quality but some marking is inevitable and should be accepted as part of the individual appearance of leather furniture.

5.15 General Product Information
Upholstery - All upholstery cushions will soften over time, in addition please be advised that as leather is a natural product it will naturally stretch and crease over time. Some cushions will need to be turned and plumped on a regular basis. Avoid placing in direct sunlight as this may cause fading, in addition we recommend rotating individual pieces regularly where possible. In addition please keep away from sources of heat.

Cabinets - Avoid placing in direct sunlight as this will cause mellowing, in addition keep away from sources of heat.

Beds - Your new divan/mattress may feel strange at first, and may take up to 3 months for your body to adjust to the new level of support and comfort provided by your new bed.

General - The product(s) supplied are to be used for the purpose and in the manner for which they were designed. Most products include care and maintenance advice, which should be read and followed. We will not be responsible for damage caused by cleaning or treating furniture if the care and maintenance instructions have not been followed.
