Customers have up to 7 days following delivery to report damage, we will then send a representative of the company to inspect, or if photographic evidence can be sent to us we will can then ensure the smooth transition of replacing your furniture as quickly as possible.

Delivery

All items featured on this web site are normally delivered to the customer within 4 – 12 weeks. Furniture delivery quotes refer to the maximum time anticipated for customers’ furniture to arrive from the manufacturer to the warehouse of Big Furniture Superstore in Plymouth. In all cases delivery quotes are not guaranteed but should be regarded as a guide to the anticipated waiting time under normal circumstances.

Goods delivered by us as standard will be placed in the customer’s preferred room, provided that reasonable access is available.

If assistance is likely to be required in unpacking and inspection of the goods, please mention this to us when we telephone you to arrange delivery.

It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure the furniture they purchase can pass through the doorways, hallways, rooms and staircases to the room of their choice. In the event of restricted access our drivers will leave the goods at the nearest convenient point for the customer.

It will not be the responsibility of Big Furniture Superstore to deliver, unpack or assemble furniture in locations that have no reasonable access for the items being delivered.

A residential phone number must be provided for all orders placed, and this number must be for the address on the order, and in the name of the person placing the order. We must also have a number (eg mobile) at which you can be contacted on the day of delivery.

Delivery of large items

Larger items, such as beds, wardrobes and tables, in the ranges of fully assembled furniture are often supplied partly dismantled to assist in delivery. Big Furniture Superstore will not undertake the assembly of these items. However, if assistance is required with assembly this service can be purchased in advance from the delivery company. Please discuss your requirements with them when they telephone to arrange delivery.

Delivery charges

Delivery is charged at a flat rate according to the distance from our Plymouth store: zone 1 £25, zone 2 £30, zone 3 £40, zone 4 £50, zone 5 £60, zone 6 £70. For areas outside these zones please contact us for a price. 

Care Of Items

Care, inspection and handling of goods

Wood will exhibit variations in colour, grain pattern and tone within individual pieces of furniture and between different items of furniture from the same range. This is not a fault but a natural characteristic of the material. Wood will also change colour as it ages. Again this is not a fault but part of the inherent characteristics of the material.

It is not unusual for wooden furniture to crack or split as the timber settles; this happens more frequently with waxed furniture and is completely normal.

Wooden furniture will swell in damp conditions and shrink in hot, dry conditions. The furniture we supply is not suitable for areas which attract strong sunlight and heat such as conservatories.

Waxed furniture requires regular wax treatments to preserve its appearance. The wax is merely a coating on bare wood, and as such the wood will exhibit shiny marks where the wax may have been rubbed. This is natural and unavoidable.

No wooden products are stain or heat resistant, although a lacquered product offers slightly greater protection.

No refunds will be payable for damage caused by mishandling furniture, misuse of furniture or the application of unsuitable coatings, polishes or abrasives.

Distressed furniture

Customers are required to familiarise themselves with what is commonly understood by the terms ‘distressed finish’ and ‘distressed furniture’ before ordering such items. These terms mean the goods will exhibit a variety of imperfections to the surfaces, such as cracked, flaking or incomplete paintwork or lacquer, marks, gouges, splits or cracks to the surfaces or any other blemishes deliberately intended to create a worn, aged or re-used appearance.

Painted furniture

Wood and wood-based furniture has inherent inconsistencies in the absorbency of its surfaces. It is inevitable therefore that this will result in some colour variations in the finish on mass-market painted furniture. There are also variations in colour finishes as depicted on the internet due to technical factors, such a lighting of the furniture when photographed, and editing of images.

Paint is normally only applied to the external surfaces of furniture. Internal surfaces will either be in bare wood or a thin or mist coat.

Special orders

Goods which are ordered to a non-standard specification or finish cannot easily be offered for resale, so they are classed as special order items. Customers who cancel a special order are liable for the costs incurred by Big Pine & Oak. This includes any carriage costs incurred or any charges made to us by the manufacturer.

All special orders are subject to a non-refundable deposit of 50%.
