International & Channel Islands Delivery

Our standard international & Channel Islands shipping charge is £9.95. Please note this is is an estimate - for these destinations shipping is charged at cost and is calculated individually based on weight, volume and final destination. We will contact you after the placement of your order via email or phone by the next working day (UK time zone) with the exact delivery charge, whether more or less than the estimate and refund if necessary.

Note also we are currently unable to deliver furniture to an international destination.

Delivery Times

UK Mainland and Islands

We aim to pack and despatch all orders within 24 hours of being received (stock permitting), to arrive with UK Mainland customers within 7 working days (typically 2 – 4 days). During busy periods we will contact you if there are any delays. In the event that an item is temporarily out of stock, we will notify you of the delay and despatch as soon as it arrives.

We use either First Class Royal Mail or Next Day Courier service depending on the size and destination of your order. For courier service a signature is usually required on delivery, please ensure that there will be someone available to receive the goods or if you are not in perhaps a neighbour – alternatively we can deliver to your work place. If you would like to arrange a more specific delivery time please contact us and we will endeavour to arrange the delivery to suit your schedule.

Bespoke and Personalised items:

As these are items are made-to-order please allow 2 weeks for delivery of personalised items.

UK Furniture Delivery

Please allow 2 – 3 weeks for furniture delivery. We will contact you once your order has been placed to arrange a convenient day for delivery. On the day of delivery the delivery driver will call at least 1 hour before arrival.

International Delivery

Most deliveries arrive with 7 - 10 days but the exact delivery date will depend on the final destination and may in exceptional circumstances exceed this time. Please note that due to logistical constraints we regret that furniture is not currently available for international delivery.

Customs

If your delivery address is outside the United Kingdom, you may be subject to import duties and/or taxes. You understand that any and all charges of this nature will be borne by you. interiors@tides will supply a Customs Label containing a brief description, and a valuation of the parcel's contents.

Packaging

To reduce packaging wastage all our boxes are recycled, this means that your order may be sent out in a box which has been sent to us from a supplier. This should in no way compromise your order, but if this causes you any concerns please do not hesitate to contact us.

UK Furniture delivery

Please make the necessary arrangements to accept the product on the arranged delivery date. Once a date has been scheduled and confirmed with the courier, it is the customer’s responsibility to ensure they are available on the stated delivery date.

If you are unable to accept delivery on the first scheduled delivery attempt, a further delivery charge, of the same rate, will be levied. Once payment for this second delivery has been made to us, a further delivery date can be scheduled.

It is a good idea to check the dimensions of the delivery address for access (including doors, corridors, stairs and corners) and the proposed location before ordering large pieces of furniture to ensure successful delivery, and to confirm that the product is the right size for your needs. Where large products are returned as unwanted, we reserve the right to make a charge of £50 to cover the collection cost.

Please note that all furniture deliveries are ONE-man deliveries. This means that for bulky or heavy furniture, the customer will need to organise or offer some form of assistance at the point of delivery. If you do not wish our driver to assist in taking items beyond the threshold, please tell us when booking the delivery.

Our couriers insurance policy covers for delivery to your door, but does not extend to moving furniture up steps or inside the property. As a result, if assistance is provided by the customer, our friendly drivers will often help to move items up flights of stairs, but please note that the items are not insured for any damaged caused and therefore we cannot be held responsible.

A re-delivery charge will apply if we arrive at a destination with a flight of stairs or awkward access and the customer either refuses delivery, or has not made arrangements to assist the driver. It is illegal for our drivers to stop on a red-route (In urban areas the routes are marked with continuous red lines painted along the road adjacent to the kerb), so you must make alternative arrangements .

We may deliver items on a pallet, especially to more remoter areas – e.g. the Scottish Highlands. You will be notified on what day your delivery will be despatched. Due to the size of a pallet your goods will be dropped as close as possible to your door, please make sure you have the necessary help to get your goods into your home.

Important Note
  • When unpacking your item please be careful to keep the larger packaging materials intact in case the item needs returning. This is essential in preventing the item being damaged on its return. Responsibility for items damaged during return because of inadequate wrapping lies with the customer. We regret we cannot accept returns that do not have their original packaging.
  • Nearly all damage that can occur usually happens during transit. With our delivery service all items are signed for as proof of delivery. Please ensure that prior to signing, you check that the packaging is intact as we are unable to accept claims for damages where the item has been signed for as ‘packaging intact’. More details on furniture returns are shown below, however if you require further information please contact us.

Terms & Conditions

Making an order

You can place an order for products through our website or if you prefer by phoning us on (01625) 578105.

When you place an order with us, you are making an offer to buy goods. We will send you an e-mail to confirm that we have received your order.

Once we have checked the price and availability of the goods, we will e-mail you again to confirm that we accept your order, and that a contract has been made between us.

In the unlikely event that the goods are no longer available, or that we have made a pricing mistake, we will advise you of this. You will not receive an e-mail confirming acceptance of your order, and there will be no contract between us.

Cancelling an order

This cancellation policy does not affect your rights when we are at fault for example, if goods are faulty or misdescribed.

All orders except furniture and personalised items:

You can cancel your order before delivery, and up to 7 working days after delivery. To do this, please contact us either by phone on (01625) 578105, email or in writing. We will refund your money, including the original postage charges, within 30 days.

Furniture:

Furniture orders can be cancelled at any point prior to despatch from our warehouse, normally 10 working days. After we receive your order it typically takes 10 working days before the order is ready to be despatched. We will contact you at this time to arrange a delivery date that is convenient for you. You can therefore cancel your furniture order at any time up to the point you have agreed a delivery date, typically 10 working days from when we receive your order. Orders can be cancelled by contacting us either by phone on (01625) 578105, email or in writing. We will refund your money within 30 days once we receive the cancellation. If the item has left our warehouse however (after you have agreed a delivery date) then the full delivery and return costs will have to be incurred.

Personalised items:

Due to their nature of production personalised items can only be cancelled within 24 hours of your order. After we receive your order we send you an email requesting confirmation of the details of your personalised item. Once we receive confirmation from you, personalisation of the item can start at any time after that. You can therefore cancel your order for personalised items at any point up to confirming with us that the details of the order are correct, normally within 24 hours. Orders can be cancelled contacting us either by phone on (01625) 578105, email or in writing. We will refund your money within 30 days once we receive the cancellation. If you cancel after you have confirmed the personalised details then a cancellation fee of 20% of the full selling price will be incurred as it is unlikely that we could sell the product to another customer at the full selling price.

All orders:

When you cancel you do not have to give any reason for the cancellation however a brief explanation would help us to improve the service we offer to customers in the future.

If you cancel after delivery, you must return the goods to us (see below) at your own expense. You are responsible for the risk of loss or damage when you return goods, so you should take out enough postal insurance to cover their value.

If you are unable to return the goods, we will collect them but will have to charge you the full cost of collection. All return items must be resalable in 'as new' condition, therefore they must be in the original wrappings and unused and unassembled (if applicable). If the product has not been returned to us in fully re-saleable condition, we reserve the right to refuse a refund on the item, or deduct up to 20% of the original selling price from the refund amount.

With the exception of faulty goods, return postage cannot be refunded and we are unable to give refunds (if applicable) until the goods have been received by us..

Faulty or damaged goods

All goods except furniture:

Every item in an order is always thoroughly checked prior to despatch. In the unlikely event goods arrive damaged please contact us stating the nature of the problem and we will arrange a replacement for you at no extra charge.

If the goods arrive as described but are found to be faulty within a reasonable time after delivery, then you may reject them and claim a full refund including the cost of returning the item. Please contact us as soon as the fault is found to discuss the matter further.

Furniture:

Nearly all damage occurs during transit. With our delivery service all items are signed for as proof of delivery. Please ensure that prior to signing, you check that the packaging is intact as we are unable to accept claims for damages where the item has been signed for as ‘packaging intact’. Damages will be replaced free of charge, providing that you contact us within 7 days of the item being delivered. All damage claims must be supported by evidence in the form of digital photographs.

In the unlikely event that an item is faulty, you must contact us within 30 days of delivery. Claims for faulty items will need to be supported by evidence in the form of digital photographs.

Taking into account the varying individual conditions to which the furniture could be subject once delivered, we regret we are unable to replace or refund items once 30 days has elapsed since delivery.

Returns Procedure

If you wish to return an item please contact us by email or phone within 7 working days of receipt of the goods. If contacting by email please include your full name and address, order details and details of the reason for the return and whether you want a refund or a replacement. We will contact you shortly afterwards to organise the return.

With the exception of faulty goods, return postage cannot be refunded and we cannot give order refunds until the goods have been received back.

When returning goods we strongly recommend you obtain proof of posting (free at the Post Office) as we cannot be responsible for parcels lost in transit.

Returning items of furniture

We are unable to refund the cost of collection of orders that have been cancelled after they have been despatched or delivered .

Before ordering, please check the dimensions of the delivery address for access (including doors, corridors, stairs and corners) and the proposed location before ordering large pieces of furniture to ensure successful delivery, and to confirm that the product is the right size for your needs. Where large products are returned as unwanted, we reserve the right to make a charge of £50 to cover the collection cost.

Please be careful to keep the larger packaging materials intact in case the item needs returning. This is essential in preventing the item being damaged on its return. Responsibility for items damaged during return because of inadequate wrapping lies with the customer. We regret we cannot accept returns that do not have their original packaging.

Please label all returned item packaging with your name and address. If there is more than one part to an item, for example a wardrobe that is supplied in three parts, then each individual part must also be labelled with your name and address. No claims for loss can be made against unlabelled items.

Refunds

Refunds can only be made to the original card of purchase.

Personalised items cannot be refunded or exchanged unless they are faulty.

We will refund your original delivery charge when a product is faulty or damaged.

All refunds when agreed will be made within 30 days.
