Couriers and Services:
Due to the size differences in our items, we use two delivery methods:
- Parcel Deliveries by Courier (Usually DHL)
- Pallet Deliveries by Haulage
Larger items are delivered on a pallet with using our pallet distribution network, which usually takes between 5 and 7 working days. A convenient delivery time will be booked in with the customer when the goods arrive at the local depot.
All parcel deliveries are sent on a standard 48 hour courier service, a 24 hour service is available at an additional charge.
Normal delivery hours are Monday to Friday between 09:00 and 17:00. Saturday deliveries may be available at an additional charge and can be arranged with a customer service representative.
Once despatched, delivery address details cannot be amended, unless there is a foreseeable problem delivering to the address specified.
Events beyond our control can lead to a delayed delivery, therefore we cannot be held responsible for any losses incurred as a result, including the booking of tradesmen and loss of earnings. We will however refund any 24 hour service charges if the goods are not received within 24 hours of despatch.
Delivery Locations:
We only deliver to the United Kingdom, delivery surcharges apply for some mainland and all non mainland postcodes.
These areas include the following locations:
- Channel Islands
- Scottish Highlands
- Scottish Islands
- Isle of Man
- Isle of Wight
- Scilly Isles
- Northern Ireland
If you wish to order an item and live in one of these areas, please call us for a delivery quotation prior to purchasing. Any orders received from these areas without prior arrangement will be subject to a delivery surcharge. This surcharge varies by location and can be taken over the telephone prior to despatch.
Signing For Deliveries:
All deliveries must be signed for, no delivery can be made without a signature from the customer or nominated receiver.
Checking Deliveries and Damaged Goods:
All goods must be checked for damages before signing for deliveries; any damaged goods must be signed for as damaged. The customer will be liable for any goods received as damaged which have not been signed for as damaged at the point of delivery. All damages must be reported to us within one working day of delivery.
We may require photographic evidence of damaged goods in order to facilitate an exchange or refund.
When checking goods, please ensure that all items have been delivered and that the only the number of parcels received are signed for. It is in our contract with the delivery agents to allow reasonable time for this check to take place.
If the delivery agent damages the goods during the course of delivery, our liability is limited to the repair, replacement or refund of the goods or the value thereof.
Carry In:
For deliveries of larger sized goods, an appointment is made between the customer and the courier prior to delivery. In the unlikely event that the delivery agent is not insured or able to do so, it is the customer's responsibility to ensure that a minimum of two people are available to lift the goods into your home.
Missed Deliveries:
If, for any reason, the courier was not able to deliver goods, a card will be left to notify the customer of a missed delivery. The courier will only attempt to re-deliver the goods twice. If the customer is still not available to receive the goods, they will be returned to us and the customer will be liable for any further re-delivery charges.
For large pallet deliveries, due to the size and nature of the delivery, only one delivery attempt will be made. This is made by appointment and therefore should not be missed. If this appointment is missed, an aborted delivery fee will be charged and a re-delivery fee will also apply.
Combined Deliveries:
Where combinations of goods are purchased, only one delivery fee will be charged. If the goods include an item that requires a pallet delivery, any parcel sized items will be included in the same delivery
Changes to Orders:
Any changes made to the goods within an order, after the order has been processed, will have an impact on the delivery timescale. Therefore, it may not be possible to deliver goods by the original confirmed delivery date. The customer will be liable for any additional or subsequent charges made by the delivery agent resulting from a change to an order.
Safe Access:
You are responsible for providing a safe means of access from the public highway to the place of delivery. If the delivery agent considers that access is unsafe, the delivery cannot be made until safe access is provided. The customer will be liable for any subsequent charges by the delivery agent in such a situation.
All returns are accepted in line with the Office of Fair Trading's Distance Selling Regulations in the UK.

Product Specifications:
We and our suppliers have a policy of continuous product development and reserve the right to amend the specifications of any goods or products without prior notice in relation to future sales. This includes adjustments to sizes or ornamental detailing on individual items.

Please email or call us prior to ordering to check exact measurements or potential ornamental changes.
All dimensions specified by us are approximate.
All of our wooden bathroom furniture is made from quality natural wood and accordingly appearances may vary. Some woods will mellow with age and exposure to sunlight. When purchasing wooden furniture please be aware that no two pieces are the same. Varying degrees of purpose distressing and antiquing are generally applied to each piece; this is very much intended and makes each piece totally unique, as desired by the craftsmen.
Due to the natural condition of the wood, distressing varies from piece to piece; this may include wood splits and knots. In certain cases, filler may be used to maintain a smooth surface finish; this is considered a normal part of the manufacturing process.
We endeavour to display as accurately as possible the colours of our products that appear on the website. However we cannot guarantee the complete accuracy of the pictures or photographs that are shown. Many conditions such as monitor settings and batching can affect the colouring of items in a picture.
Prices:
All prices Include VAT, where appropriate, at the prevailing rate and are subject to any promotional offer or discount.
We regularly promote offers on ranges and individual items, which can result in the items being ordered subsequently being sold at a lower (or higher) price. As soon as orders are placed on the website, orders are processed to a dispatch team, and space booked on delivering vehicles. This is an operation that takes time and reserves space with haulage service providers, at a cost to us. If items are reduced in price on the website prior to delivery; the price paid during checkout still applies.
The prices displayed on the website are for on-line purchases and promotions only and are not transferable to sales through any other means.
The prices displayed on the website in relation to any on-line promotion are valid strictly until midnight on the day on which the promotion expires, as determined by us.
We will not be bound to honour any prices, where we have indicated to you subsequently that the prices displayed have been displayed in error. In these cases a refund will be offered.
Payment:
You must pay by credit, charge or debit card at the time of order. The price of any product is the price in force at the date and time of your order. You undertake that all details you provide to us for the purpose of purchasing products which may be offered by us on our website will be correct; that the credit charge or debit card which you use is your own and that there are sufficient funds or credit facilities to cover the cost of any products. We reserve the right to obtain validation of your credit charge or debit card details before accepting your order.
Payment is taken in full at the time of the order.
The contract shall not have been concluded until we have completed all of the following steps:
- We have received your valid credit or debit card payment details
- We have accepted your online order and sent you confirmation by return email.
We reserve the right to refuse any order placed by you.
In the unlikely event that items ordered are out of stock, a full refund will be provided within three working days.
Guarantees and Claims under Guarantee:
The provisions of these clauses apply in addition to your statutory consumer rights in relation to faulty or miss described products. These rights are not affected by the guarantee.
The guarantor is E Com Sales Ltd whose registered address is 6 Deacons Rise, London N2 0BF, Company Registration Number 7002509, VAT Registration Number 977 0582 80.
These guarantees do not cover fair wear and tear and the characteristics of natural products including the movement in wooden products; neglect; abuse or misuse of your goods in failing to follow correct care procedures, including the oiling and waxing of furniture; loss or damage due to fire, smoke, water, lightning, sunlight, weather, rusting, corrosion, theft or explosion; accidental damage or loss or damage caused by a third party.
Natural Products:
Wooden bathroom furniture, on rare occasions, due to climate changes, may swell. This can make doors or drawers stiff to open. It is important not to return or refuse such an item if this is the case. Usually this problem will rectify itself in a matter of days once the timbers adjust to their new environment, alternatively, you may find that simply swapping drawers will remedy this.
On rare occasions, including a permanent change in environment, movement may not settle and it may be necessary to sand or shave a small amount from a drawer or door. This should be undertaken by a skilled craftsman at the expense of the customer. We recommend a coat of Danish oil to protect any adjustments made. Please bear in mind that wood is a natural product, and swelling and movement of timber is rare, but a possibility. Therefore stiff drawers or doors will not be deemed as defective or faulty and any necessary adjustments needed would have to be undertaken by the customer.
If a wooden product is delivered in such a condition and it is not the wish of the customer to undertake any necessary adjustments, a refund or replacement can be made during the seven day grace period.
We guarantee all products against faulty workmanship and/or faulty materials for a minimum period of 12 months from the actual date of delivery.
It is our responsibility to arrange for the repair or replacement of any faulty or incorrect goods. Should a replacement no longer be available, or if circumstances determined by the seller make a replacement impractical, it may be replaced with a part that most closely matches it. Alternatively, at the discretion of the seller, an allowance may be made for the customer to arrange a local repair.
We will not be liable for any damage or loss resulting from repairs attempted by the customer or third parties.
We will not be liable for any direct or indirect loss of profits or other financial loss or damage arising out of defective, damaged or wrongly delivered products over and above the value of the goods themselves. This does not affect your statutory rights.
