Delivery Policy
We aim to offer an efficient and seamless delivery experience. Our customer care doesn't stop when you place an order.
We make no profit on delivery fees, as a small business we supplement all charged delivery fees. We primarily use Next Day & 48hr Tracked Services, which come at a premium cost, but overall reduces issues related to delays & lost items.
We can't promise there will never be a delivery delay or issue, but commit to ownership and management of the issue through to resolution.

Furniture Deliveries
Furniture orders are usually delivered within 2-3 weeks, however, from time to time there may be a longer delivery period, if this is the case, you will be notified immediately after receiving your order.
As a small business, we keep low volumes of stock. If items are out of stock, you will be contacted immediately after placing your order and given the choice between cancelling your order or waiting for the stock arrival date.
It is your responsibility to ensure ordered products will fit into your home (pass freely through doorways and corridors and have space to turn) prior to delivery. So please ensure you read the product measurements/weight prior to ordering. As some furniture is hand-made, the dimensions specified can vary up to 2 cm.
Our delivery services will only deliver products to the front door of your premises.
If you are placing an order for furniture/heavy/large product and live in a flat / apartment complex or has stairs, please ensure you add this information in the special instructions section of the web check-out process.
We cannot accept liability for any delivery instructions issued to the delivery company by you. If you leave instructions requesting a parcel to be left in an alternative location, for example with a neighbour or in a shed, we cannot accept responsibility if you fail to receive the parcel.
Additional Delivery Help
How can I track my delivery?
You can track your delivery on the courier website. Your tracking reference will be emailed once the item has been despatched.
Will the delivery service carry my furniture upstairs.
When we call to arrange your delivery day we will ask you about access to your property to determine whether stairs are likely to be a problem (for example, we will ask you about the number of stairs, whether there is room to manoeuvre, need to lift to clear a bannister, or any other obstacles). Please do let us know if there are any access constraints we should be aware of.
If the delivery team are unable to carry your furniture upstairs, we will class your order as a cancelled order and you will incur a £50 charge. This will be taken from your original payment method and deducted from your refund.
What do I do if there’s a problem or delay with my furniture delivery?
If your furniture delivery is unexpectedly delayed or there’s any other problem, please contact customer services contact@gladysandcharles.com.
