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.

5. Furniture Delivery

Delivery of your furniture order

5.1 Our Carriers will offer you the first available date and time slot for delivery in your area. This is normally 1-14 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 Carriers will offer an AM or PM delivery slot. 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.

5.2 Standard Delivery - 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 Site 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 7 days of delivery, we will refund your standard delivery charge if you have paid one. The delivery charge for made-to-order or bespoke orders is not-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 carrier when they contact you to arrange a 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 carrier and are non-refundable.

5.4 Repeat Delivery - If we attempt to make a delivery on the delivery date/timeslot that you have accepted and no one is present to receive the goods and a repeat delivery is required, you will incur a repeat delivery charge of £50, which must be paid to the carrier prior to the redelivery, even if the original delivery was free of charge. This repeat delivery charge will also apply if you give us less than 2 working days notice of cancellation of a delivery date/timeslot and wish to rearrange, as we will already have commenced the delivery service. Any repeat delivery charge is non-refundable.

5.5 Storage Charge - If your goods remain at our warehouse for more than four weeks, during which time you fail to accept delivery/redelivery (despite Bhs 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 £25 per week.

5.6 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 and/or bespoke. As we do not commence the service of making the made-to-order/bespoke goods until after you have placed your order, these goods take longer to deliver. Delivery can only be made to mainland 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.

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

• Aberdeen (A33 to AB38, AB41 to AB56)
• Dumfries & Galloway (DG1 to DG16)
• Galashields (TD1 to TD15)
• Inverness (IV1 to IV54)
• Kirkwall (KW1 to KW14)
• Paisley (PA20 to PA40)
• Perth (PH19 to PH44)

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

Short Delivery, Defective Goods Or Damaged Goods

5.7 We strongly advise you to thoroughly check your goods upon receipt. Please read through and sign the "Proof of Delivery" (POD) and sign in the relevant sections. This will protect your interests regarding any claim concerning short delivery (ie 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.

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

5.8 In accordance with your rights under the Distance Selling Regulations, you have 7 working days (beginning the day after receipt) to cancel your order (the "7 day cooling off period"). We must receive notification of your cancellation in writing, or by telephone within this period.

Please contact our customer care department on 0845 196 0000 selecting option 4 or write to us at the following address:

Bhs Furniture After Sales

139-137 Marylebone Road
London
NW1 5QD

5.9 If you notify us within the 7 day cooling off period, you will be refunded by the same method you paid for the goods once the goods have been received back into our Distribution Centre (and no later than 30 days after the date of cancellation). You will also be refunded any standard delivery charge that you have paid if you cancel your whole order. Please note that we do not refund any additional amount that you have paid for special delivery or any repeat delivery or storage charges, as these are additional services.

5.10 In order to book a furniture return, please contact Bhs customer care on 0845 196 0000, selecting option 4 for furniture queries, within 7 days of receipt. You are responsible for the cost of the courier collection (unless the goods are incorrect, damaged or defective and you must take good care of the goods whilst they are in your possession. Any courier collection charges should be paid directly to the courier and may be up to £100 depending on the type of goods.

5.11 If you notify us of cancellation outside of the 7 day cooling of period, a refund will only be given in the instance of incorrect, damaged or faulty goods.

5.12 Please note that your right to cancel or return a furniture order does NOT apply to products which fall into the following categories (unless the products are incorrect, damaged on delivery or proved to be defective):

• Made-to-order and bespoke furniture orders (ie non "14 Day Express" items) - see section 4.24 below
• Mattresses and divan sets (once unwrapped for hygiene reasons)
• Flat pack furniture that has been partially or fully assembled

Cancellation & Returns Procedure for Made-to-Order and Bespoke Furniture Orders Only

5.13 Any furniture goods that are not marked on our Site as "14 Day" or "14 Day Express Goods" are made-to-order and/or bespoke furniture items. We do not commence the manufacture of these goods until after you have placed your order and they are made specifically for you. If you would like to cancel your order you must notify us within 7 days of placing your order. (Please note that the Distance Selling Regulations do not apply to these goods).

Returns Procedure for Damaged Furniture deliveries (online furniture orders only)

5.14 If goods are incorrect, defective or damaged, please contact your Bhs Furniture Customer Services team on 0845 196 0000, who will deal with your problem. If your product is damaged on delivery, please note this on your "proof of delivery" (POD) before your driver leaves. It is your responsibility to check the goods before the driver leaves (see point 5.7).

Description of Products

5.15 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.

Furniture measurements

5.16 It is entirely the customers responsibility to ensure that the goods ordered fit into the delivery address. Bhs accepts 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 carrier of any concerns when they contact you to book your delivery). The product dimensions on our Website are for your guidance only, and are the product when fully assembled, and therefore do not take into account any external packaging.

5.17 Natural Materials

Wood - Bhs takes all necessary quality checks 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. Certain "pull-up" leathers vary in shade and may have visible markings (veins, scars, insect bites) this is part of the charm of the product and it is therefore impossible to regulate the amount or uniformity of these markings. Please consider carefully if these natural irregularities are for you, before you purchase. Bhs selects only hides of the highest quality but some marking is inevitable and should be accepted as part of the individual appearance of leather furniture.
