    What is doorstep delivery?

    What is doorstep delivery?

    • We will deliver to the doorstep only and will not be able to enter your home. A member of your household will need to be present to accept delivery and carry your furniture over your threshold, which our drivers will observe.

    • If you prefer, we can deliver to a secure garage. If your garage is not joined to your property we will need to see proof of identification at the point of delivery.

    • Three delivery dates are offered based on when our drivers are due to be in your area. Once selected, your delivery date cannot be changed.

    • If you live in a flat, we can only deliver to the entrance of your building, and not to your front door. As we will need you to carry your furniture over the threshold, we will need to see proof of identification at the point of delivery.

If you have ordered larger items (for example dining tables, chest of drawers, sideboards) you will need someone from your household to help you carry your items into your home and into the room of your choice when our drivers arrive.

    • Our sofa category items (sofas, sofa beds, loveseats, armchairs and footstools) and wardrobes are particularly sizeable and heavy, which makes them difficult to manoeuvre and carry upstairs. Therefore, to ensure they are safely delivered to your room(s) of choice by our trained in-house delivery team, we have excluded these items from doorstep delivery.
