Those products that carry a free or £14.95 or less delivery charge will be delivered direct to you through a carrier such as Parcel Force. Delivery for these items will be within 14 working days. Please note that date of order is not counted as a working day. If you are not at the delivery address when the carrier tries to deliver, a note will be posted through the letter box explaining what you need to do to arrange re-delivery.

For larger items, which carry a £45+ delivery charge, you will be contacted within 14 working days by our courier company or a member of staff from one our 21 stores to arrange delivery.

Once your order has been despatched from our warehouse our courier company will only be able to hold onto your goods for 3 days. Please ensure someone will be available to accept delivery. Deliveries are made Monday to Friday between 9am and 4pm. If you would like a Saturday delivery there will be an extra charge of £30. Please CONTACT US to arrange a Saturday delivery. Please also note that larger items will be limited to kerbside delivery at the stated address. We are not responsible for any additional lifting or carrying of your goods into your home. We have found that there are many friendly drivers who may help you with the item to your door and sometimes beyond. This is outside of their contract and once the item is on the kerb you are liable for any damages, assembly etc. We strongly advise you to arrange for someone to help you. Please also note that if you live in a location which a large delivery van cannot access there may be an extra charge of £40 to deliver in a smaller van.

In the event that you are not at home when our courier company tries to delivery after a date and time has been agreed with you, a redelivery charge of £22.50p will apply.   A storage charge of £2.50p per day will also apply.  Please be absolutely sure that you will be available on the day of agreed delivery.

We believe that we have aligned ourselves with excellent delivery partners, yet there may be times when, despite our best efforts, your delivery may be delayed. At all times, we will endeavour to keep you informed and work with our delivery partners to ensure timely delivery of your order.

Our Guarantee
All Futon Company products are guaranteed for one year and suitable for residential use in a home environment. This excludes residential lettings or a contract environment.

Replacement fittings, finger jointed and laminated components:

All Futon Company wooden products are deliberately sourced from manufacturers who can demonstrate a saving of timber usage by laminating or finger-jointing off cuts of timber unsuitable for other purposes in order to make the larger pieces required in our furniture. Very occasionaly parts can fail due to variations in the timber/glue interface and it is a condition of our sale to you that Futon Company immediately supplies a replacement part free of charge. The same is true for 'fittings'.

We at Futon Company specify timber off-cuts for commercial and ethical reasons. It allows you to purchase a higher quality of wooden furniture at a discount of approximately 30% and it reduces the global consumption of timber.
