If you decide you would like to place an order with R J M 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:

• Can access be gained easily for the furniture to be delivered? – are the doors wide enough, are there any awkward stairs, lift or passageways?
• Will the furniture fit in the room?
• Which range are you interested in?
• Which items from the range do you want to order?
• What colour would you like the furniture in?
• How would you like to pay for the furniture?

All the mattresses & divans that R J M sells are handmade. As a retailer and manufacturer we pride ourselves on being able to make furniture that's perfect for you.

If you place an order with R J M, we will send all your paperwork by electronic email or by 1st class post to arrive within 3 – 7 working days.

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.

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.

Due to their intimate nature, all beds or mattresses will be delivered sealed in clear plastic wrapping that will allow for inspection. Any of these items 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.

Should you wish to return the goods it is your responsibility to take good care of the furniture, beds or mattresses. You are the owner of the furniture once it has been delivered to you 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. If you decide to return the products where there is no fault in the product such cost of returning is at the customers expense.

It is your responsibility to return the items to our central delivery point in a good condition However, British Beds & Furniture 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 25% 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.

Following cancellation of your order any monies paid will be refunded by Bank Transfer and usually within 14 days.
