Deliveries requiring special requirements can sometimes be made but will be at an additional cost to the customer. 
 
It is the responsibility of the customer to ensure that an authorised adult is at the delivery address to take delivery of the goods and sign for their receipt.

It is your responsibility to ensure that any goods you order will fit into your home and its proposed final location and through the access areas at the delivery address: we recommend that you measure all access areas and the room where the items will be placed, bearing in mind that the packaging of the goods will mean that the dimensions of the boxed goods are larger than the measurements on the website. The furniture is handmade and all measurements are approximate. We are unable to refund orders which cannot be delivered due to access restrictions, or items that do not fit the room. 
 
Where a delivery date has been agreed with our carriers but the customer is not present or unwilling to take delivery we reserve the right to charge the customer again for the total value of the delivery of the goods unless otherwise specified.
