If you decide you would like to place an order with TPAOF by speaking to one of our personal shopping advisors, please have the following information ready as it will help us process your order, however, we will be delighted to answer any queries you may have. Here are some of the most common questions for you to consider:

• Will the furniture fit in the room?
• Which range are you interested in?
• Which items from the range do you want to order?

Acknowledgement and Acceptance of your Order

It is important that you appreciate and understand that this order is a legally binding contract. Your statutory rights, including any cancellation rights, are unaffected.

Processing your Order and Delivery Dates

You will be informed of the likely approximate length of time until delivery at the point of order. Once your order is confirmed as available for delivery we will contact you to agree definite arrangements for the date of delivery. Where possible we will deliver on the first available van in your area as we are unable to store your furniture. Every effort is made to see that the approximate delivery date is accurate, but on rare occasions the manufacture of your furniture may be delayed through circumstances beyond our control. We will, of course, make every effort to keep you informed.

Delivery

A small charge of £20 is made for our delivery service for deliveries made in Surrey. Within a 50 mile radius from our store (for postcodes not in Surrey) there is a £50 delivery fee. For deliveries to adresses outside a 50 mile radius from our store, there will be an extra fee. If you wish your order to be delivered outside the 50 mile radius we will be happy to provide you with a personal delivery quotation. For goods delivered to EU Member States, TPAOF will arrange delivery for you with one of our trusted third party delivery providers. Again, for a personal quote, please call to speak to a personal shopper or leave your details and we will call you back for free.

On Delivery

On the day of delivery, please ensure that the delivery team can gain easy access to the room that the furniture is going into. Please make sure that the area you want the furniture placed is cleared. Unfortunately, we are not able to take away your old furniture. To make sure you are completely satisfied with your furniture the delivery team will ask you to sign for your furniture after it has been delivered.

Payment

Payment methods include debit or credit cards, Visa, Mastercard, Delta/Connect or Maestro.
Payments can be made electronically by bank transfer, details will be provided on request. TPAOF do not accept any responsibility for cash sent in the post and strongly recommend that you do NOT use this method of payment.

Outstanding Balances

Before we deliver your products, you must either have settled any outstanding balance. Payment can not be taken on delivery.
To pay any outstanding balance please use the online payment service by clicking here, you will need your order number, email address or telephone number.
Alternatively the remaining balance payments can be paid by visiting your local TPAOF store, at the latest the day prior to delivery.

Cancellation Policy

Consumer Contract regulations only apply to your order if the goods have not been custom made to your specification or if you have not examined the product in our showroom. If the Consumer Contract Regulations do apply you can cancel your furniture by notifying us, in writing, before delivery or within 14 working days beginning with the day after the date of delivery.

Should you wish to return the goods it is your responsibility to take good care of the furniture. You are the owner of the furniture once it has been delivered to you and you are liable for any loss or damage. If you request delivery to another EU Member State you will own the furniture when it is delivered to the third party delivery providers’ premises, and you are liable for any loss or damage. Failure to take reasonable care may result in a claim against you. To minimise the risk of any such claim we ask that you return the goods in appropriate packaging such as to prevent damage in transit.

Due to their intimate nature, all mattresses will be delivered sealed in clear plastic wrapping that will allow for inspection. Any mattresses that have been unsealed will be deemed as having been used. Therefore they cannot be returned for any reason other than because they are not as described or are not of satisfactory quality.

It is your responsibility to return the items to our central delivery point in a good condition. However TPAOF recognise that many customers do not have the means to do this, and so will arrange collection during normal business hours (Monday to Friday) if requested. In such circumstances a charge of up to 20% of the price of the furniture will be made to cover the cost of collecting the items. This charge will be calculated according to the number of items to be returned, availability of a delivery vehicle, your location and complexity of removal.

If you want to cancel your telephone or Ecommerce order please contact us by phone or email, for any store orders please contact the store.

Refunds

Following cancellation of your order any monies paid will be refunded by the method you used to pay us and usually within 14 days. Please contact our Customer Services Department by emailing

contactus@thepineandoakfactory.co.uk

If you are unhappy with any aspect of your furniture
Please contact the store and we will be able to help and try to resolve any issue you might have.
