Will I have to pay anything when it arrives?

No. Duties and taxes are paid by us before the parcel reaches you. There is no card through the door, no payment link and no collection from a depot. What you pay at checkout is the whole amount.

How much is delivery?

Delivery to any UK address is £75, and free on orders of £499 or more. It is shown beside the price, in the basket and at checkout, and duties and taxes are paid by us either way.

How long does it take?

Each panel is cut to your measurements and its edge bound first, which can take up to two days. Orders then join the week’s consignment, which is sealed in Malwa on Thursday evening. Transit is then 6 to 10 days to any UK address.

What if it does not suit the room?

You can cancel any order within 24 hours of paying, for any reason. After that, a panel is made to your measurements and cannot be cancelled for a change of mind. Counterpanes and other standard pieces keep your 14-day right to cancel after they arrive, and we collect them at our cost. If anything arrives damaged or unlike its description, we refund or replace it, and you keep it.

Why are there no reviews?

Because nobody has written one about this piece yet, and we will not invent any. Writing reviews that were never received is against the law in the United Kingdom, and it is the quickest way to lose someone who buys with judgement.

Do you deliver outside the United Kingdom?

Not yet. England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland only. Write to us if you are elsewhere and we will tell you plainly whether we can manage it.
