RETURNS AND REPLACEMENTS
I wish to change or cancel my order - FOR A MADE-TO-ORDER ITEM - there are substantial costs for us in changing or cancelling an item once The Big Bed Company ("The Company", "we") has started manufacture. If you decide to cancel your order after it has been processed, we will charge you 25% of the order value and attempt to sell the product at a discount on our website. If you decide to change your order, we will endeavour to accommodate these changes if possible - however any alterations we undertake will be subject to related costs. Refunds or returns are not possible after delivery, unless there is a manufacturing fault. FOR A STOCK ITEM - if the item is still in its original packaging and unused, please return the item, at your cost, to us within 30 days for a refund or exchange. We will not refund our original delivery costs and we will charge delivery on any replacement.
Something is faulty - all breakages and shortages must be reported to us within 48 hours of delivery. Please send a picture to [email protected] with your reference and a short description of the fault/damage.
For bed linen and bedding returns - please note that we will not replace or refund bed linen, bedding, and accessory items after 6 months from date of order, under any circumstances, and that we will only replace or refund bed linen and bedding items which have been laundered in accordance with the care label instructions. In any case please contact us with your reference and a short description of the item. If we agree the item is faulty we will arrange for a new one to be sent to you as soon as we can. In this case you may need to send the old one back to us, for which we pay reasonable postage costs.
For bed or mattress returns - if these are faulty, please send a picture to [email protected] with your reference and a short description of the fault / damage. If we agree the item is faulty, or that the damage occurred before you received it, we will arrange for a repair, or an identical replacement (only) to be sent to you free of charge. Please note that we have a 1 year manufacturing guarantee on beds and teenager mattresses; a 5 year manufacturing guarantee on most mattresses; and a 6 year warranty on the Pillowtop, Memory Foam, 8,000 & 11,000 mattresses. The warranty means that you will be liable for some of the cost of replacement (being 1/6th of the price you paid multiplied by the number of whole year’s usage) even if there is a manufacturing fault. Our guarantees and warranties will expressly only cover you if the item is in the UK, and will expressly not cover you if you misuse the items. Examples include - allowing the product to become soiled, subjecting the product to excessive wear and tear, using mattresses on poor quality bed bases, bending mattresses, ignoring the care instructions given with each mattress. Each mattress should be delivered with a care card attached - if you do not receive one please let us know as you need to care for the mattress correctly and we will not be held liable for lack of care due to a missing care card. Please note that none of our mattress guarantees or warranties cover normal settlement and softening of your mattress which will happen naturally over the course of its life.
For all items - for mattresses, we strongly advise customers come to the showroom to try out the different mattresses and tensions - the choice of mattress is a very personal decision. We also advise you to ask for free samples before ordering as colours/materials shown on our website and at our showroom may not exactly match those delivered. This applies in particular to leather items as they are natural products and may vary in shade/texture. If you do not ask for samples we will assume you are happy with the quality of the artwork on the website. If you do not visit the showroom before buying a mattress, we will assume that you are happy with the description of it given on the site.
Please note that all dimensions stated are subject to a 1” / 3cm tolerance and all dimensions are stated as width x length on our website.
DELIVERY
My order is late - we are careful to meet delivery deadlines, however many items are made-to-order and despite our best efforts they are sometimes late. We will confirm an estimated delivery date on your receipted order form. If delivery is more than 2 weeks later than this date, then please accept our apologies, contact us with your reference and ask for a 5% refund.
Something is missing from my order - although we usually get things right, every so often a customer finds something is missing from their order - if so then sincere apologies, we will get the item out to you as soon as we can. Please contact us with your reference and a short description of the missing item. If we agree the item is missing we will arrange for it to be sent to you as soon as we can.
Bed / mattress deliveries -
Method of delivery - please note that for some UK postcodes and all foreign deliveries, we may only deliver to your door. In most English postcodes we can assemble the items in your bedroom for you. Please note that we will only deliver to a maximum of the 2nd Floor. The relevant method is shown at checkout when you input your country and / or postcode.
An item didn't fit into my bedroom - we assume you have measured all access points correctly before ordering. While we do offer zipping options for mattresses and four-piece options for bases, it is your responsibility to ask for these, not our responsibility to tell you about them, whether you buy online, on the phone, or in-store. These options are viewable on the relevant product pages of this website. It is your responsibility to calculate whether an item can fit, although we can help you with the calculations. The item becomes yours when we deliver it to your doorstep. If a mattress won't fit in your room without bending at least part of it through more than 45 degrees, the drivers will alert you of this. Bending it this much may cause damage to the mattress. You can either - (a) take delivery of it at your doorstep, (b) sign a waiver on the guarantee / warranty of the mattress, and have the drivers attempt installation into your room, or (c) have us take it back and manufacture a "zipped" (split) mattress for delivery later. In the latter case an additional charge of 25% of the cost of the new mattress, plus delivery, will be charged. If a bed won't fit, you can either - (a) take delivery of it at your doorstep, or (b) have us take it back and manufacture a bed that will fit. In the latter case an additional charge of 25% of the cost of the new bed, plus delivery, will be charged.
You damaged something in my house - Whilst we endeavour to keep the delivery as clean and safe as we can, we cannot be held responsible for reasonable amounts of damage or wear to your house or items in your house. For safety reasons, our delivery drivers may not be able to take off their shoes inside your house. It is the customer's responsibility to cover delicate carpets and furnishings and to remove any pictures, window fixtures or light fittings that are on the route to your specified bedroom before we attempt delivery. Any damage must be reported within 48 hours of delivery.
You need to move or remove any existing furniture to assemble the new bed - for certain UK postcodes, we can remove, or move, only items that are directly being replaced, subject to additional charges as highlighted at the checkout stage, and from your doorstep only. Please note that we are unable to disassemble or reassemble beds (other than divans) as the drivers may not have the correct tools or knowledge to do so.
Other items -
I missed the delivery - If you have given an email address on order, our courier will email you on despatch and will attempt delivery at least twice. If you do not contact us or the depot within two days of the last attempt the goods may be returned to us, and you may be charged again for delivery.
