Delivery & Shipping
Do you deliver in the UK?
We will gladly deliver and assemble the beds within the UK, for a charge to cover our costs. You can be sure the bed and accessories will be put up without any problems. If you have any questions while we're there about caring for your furniture our team will be happy to advise!
If it works out more cost effective we also can arrange a courier service to most of the UK and Ireland. This is more suitable for customers in Ireland and the Highlands as it is usually cheaper. We only pick from trusted companies, and as we wrap the beds before they leave the workshop, you can be assured it will reach you in perfect condition. Of course, we will throw in some assembly instructions- otherwise it can seem like a jigsaw that won't go together!
Do you deliver abroad?
Yes, we have shipped furniture, mostly four poster beds, to Canada, USA, Spain, Germany...
At present, Robinson's International are transporting most of our beds abroad and all the feedback has been very positive on them.
How much does shipping overseas cost?
Please contact us to get a shipping quote, as it is not just what we export and the country we export to, but your exact address that's important. We have previously shipped to Canada, US, Germany and Spain. We exported a wide pencil bed to Hong Kong in 2007 and the customer was quoted less than £850 for a door to door service with insurance and export wrapping.
We recommend you talk to Customs in your country to check whether there are taxes on imported furniture. This way you can be aware of all the costs before making a decision- it's not something you want to find out about when it's too late!
How long does delivery take?
We generally give a 12 week period for production of the bed. If the bed is finished before this, then we will contact you to arrange delivery sooner, otherwise we aim to deliver by the 13th week. We try and combine deliveries where possible, so this can affect delivery times, but of course we will gladly discuss your needs and find the best solution for you!
Do the beds come apart for ease of shipping?
These four poster beds 'breakdown' into sensible sized components for 'flat packing' which help keep the shipping costs to a minimum.
Are the beds easy to assemble?
They are easier than you would think, but we will gladly put the beds together for you when we deliver in the UK. Assembly Instructions that are easy to understand are sent with our beds shipped overseas.
