What do I do if my furniture arrives damaged?
Naturally we endeavour to deliver all our furniture in good condition. At Furniture Palace we have spent many hours talking to our suppliers about packing and shipping our products so they arrive safely. We are constantly looking for ways to improve these standards. We also pride ourselves on having the best delivery teams in the business.
It is disappointing for you and us when occasionally things go wrong. When your order has been unwrapped in your home and there are signs of transit damage, this is what to expect:
- i. If the furniture is useable, despite the damage, we are happy for you to go ahead and use it.
- ii. The Furniture Palace delivery team will complete an incident report form to record the problem. They will ask you to sign it. They may also take photographs to accompany the paperwork.
- iii. The Incident Report form will be returned to the delivering store. It will be logged against your order number, and assessed for action.
- iv. A Furniture Palace technician will arrange to visit you and repair the problem to manufacturing standards, generally within 7 days. If he cannot resolve the matter on the first visit and parts are required, we will endeavour to source them as quickly as possible.
- v. In the event that a repair cannot be made, we will replace the furniture, or give a full refund. The goods that are deemed faulty revert to the ownership of Furniture Palace, and must be in our possession before monies are refunded.
- vi. A full refund shall be limited to the original purchase price paid for the unsatisfactory merchandise.
- vii. You are welcome to contact us at any time either through e-mail or telephone and we will do our best to assist you.
Your statutory rights are not affected.
What do I do if I have a complaint with an order?
Our continued success depends entirely on our customers’ satisfaction with our service, and on the quality and reliability of the products we sell. Whatever assistance you need, please do not hesitate to e-mail or call us.
What about VAT exemptions?
A proforma invoice will be provided to customers who are entitled to VAT exemption. Full payment, inclusive of VAT, will be required if you want delivery of the goods before the necessary approval has been obtained. Refund of the VAT amount will be done as soon as you provide the approved forms.
