Terms and Conditions
Returns
Accessories, bedding and small item returns should be made in the original, undamaged packaging, and we reserve the right to withhold a percentage of the refund value of returned goods if the product or packaging is in such a condition that the item needs to be reduced in price or repaired for resale. It is your responsibility to ensure that the goods you return are insured as Lucy Willow Ltd cannot be held responsible for goods that fail to reach us.
If for any reason you are not happy with your furniture you must return this at the point of delivery to avoid a collection charge. If for any reason we have to return to your house to collect furniture you will automatically incur a collection charge, between £25 and £75 depending on the size and number of item(s) being collected. Personalised products can not be returned.
Refund Policy
Under the Consumer Rights Act you have a legal right to reject goods that are of unsatisfactory quality, unfit for purpose or not as described, and get a full refund - as long as you do this quickly. This right is limited to 30 days from the date you receive your product.
Goods delivery by courier service
The product you wish to return must be in a saleable condition in its original, undamaged packaging. Once we have received the goods we will consider the overall condition of the product before making your refund. We will refund the price of the item to the purchaser or exchange it as soon as it is received by us. Refunds for items bought online or mail order are processed within 72 hours of receiving the goods back into our warehouse.
Furniture goods delivered by our in-home delivery team
Refunds and exchanges can only be accepted where the following procedures have been applied
- Furniture has been checked and not accepted at the point of delivery. By signing our delivery note you agree that you have inspected the goods, checked that all items are present and in an acceptable condition.
- If someone other than the purchaser is accepting the goods on the purchaser's behalf, Lucy Willow Ltd cannot be held liable for their failure to correctly inspect the goods or that all items are present and in acceptable condition

Access Constraints
It is the customer's responsibility to check that furniture products can pass through doorways and stairwells. Please refer to the measurements stated online as a guide. Remember that some wardrobes are delivered in either two fully assembled parts, as one complete unit or where applicable completely disassembled. If you are unsure about access please call our sales team to assist on 01257 733250 (Local call charges apply).
Delivery failures due to access constraints always incur our standard return charge of £75.00 for large items and £45.00 for smaller items. This partially covers the cost of delivery and restocking and administration.
Protecting your floors and providing for a safe delivery
It is the customer's responsibility to provide protective floor coverings if, for instance, there are lightly coloured carpets. Lucy Willow Ltd cannot be held liable for damage caused to your home if brought to our attention retrospectively (i.e. after the delivery team has vacated your property). In the unlikely event of damage you must complete a damage report form in the presence of the delivery team, which they must counter-sign.
Delivery
Lucy Willow Ltd will make every effort to deliver at a time that fits in with your business or social commitments. The purchaser should ensure that they can take the delivery in person. Deliveries can not be left with tradesmen, family members or domestic staff unless they have full authority to check and sign for the goods i.e. goods can not be signed unchecked. We strongly advocate that the purchaser is present at the time of the delivery.
Gaining Access
Once a date and time window (3 hour time slot) has been agreed it is incumbent on the customer to ensure that the property is attended and that delivery can be made. Should your home be unattended our delivery team can only wait a maximum of ten minutes as this will lead to inconveniencing other customers. Every effort will be made to deliver within the agreed time slot and our team will contact you en-route should they experience mechanical or traffic problems that would result in a delay. Lucy Willow Ltd cannot be held responsible for delays of this nature.
If your home is difficult to access (e.g. a narrow road or parking restrictions) please advise our sales team when placing your order.
Delivery Times
Deliveries will usually be made on Mondays to Fridays between 8am to 7pm. Saturday and Sunday deliveries are sometimes arranged. For small items of furniture or accessories we use an overnight delivery service, if you or the intended recipient is not available, our designated courier will leave a card at the delivery address confirming that they have tried to deliver. Follow the instructions on this card to rearrange delivery or to collect your products.
