Placing an online order

Our website offers information on our products and the ability to place your order of such products. It is vitally important that you carefully read all product specifications and descriptions before ordering to ensure you have measured your space correctly and are sure of the product you are going to order. Order acceptance will take place only when we confirm your order via email (or via verbal confirmation on the phone if a phone order is placed), unless you cancel your order in accordance with our terms as below, or we do not accept it or later cancel the order in accordance with our terms below. Once you are happy with your order and have selected the right colour/size etc you will then be taken to our cart where you can pay via card, PayPal or via our finance provider. For card payments it is very important that you ensure your billing address is correct. If your billing address is not correct, then payment will not be taken and your order will not be authorised.

We reserve the right to not accept your order or to cancel your order if any of the following apply:

  • We have been unable to process your payment, or a bank or merchant service provider later cancels payment (this includes if your billing address is incorrect)
  • Payment has been made fraudulently or by illegal means
  • The goods are unavailable from our stock
  • The item/s are no longer available from the manufacturer
  • We have made an error in pricing or product description
  • We do not supply to your address

If you believe that your order has been cancelled unfairly or cancellation has occurred for any other reason than of those stated above, then please contact us.

 

Delivery

You as the customer will be responsible for ensuring that the delivery date is convenient for you and you will have someone available to accept delivery on that date. Please note that we use an independent courier service for all deliveries.

Our couriers operate an all-day (8-6pm) delivery service with an ETA often not available to us, however if you provide a valid mobile number with your order text alerts and updates will be sent to you. These updates include information on delivery date and how to track your order. With some couriers this also includes an ETA text however please note this does not apply to all orders.

We advise that if you cannot be in for the whole day and need to go out please let us know so we can either re-arrange a more convenient delivery date for you, or if you would like the item to be left in a safe place/with a neighbour we can also arrange this for you.

Please note for deliveries to flats/apartments unfortunately our couriers are only authorised to take items to the front of the building and therefore cannot take items upstairs/lifts to your specific flat, we are very sorry about this! We advise if the items are heavy or you may have trouble transporting these to your flat to ensure someone can be in to assist you with this. If there are any specific delivery instructions that would help in this situation, please let us know and we will ensure these are passed on i.e. a call an hour before delivery.

Please note that our free delivery only applies to mainland England, Wales and parts of Scotland. For delivery to the Highland (including AB postcodes) and Islands of Scotland, Northern Ireland, Isle of Man and Isles of Scilly please contact us as there are surcharges for these delivery locations. Deliveries to surcharge regions will often take slightly longer to arrive.

In addition to the above please see below further information on our delivery Terms and Conditions:

 

  • It is your responsibility to check that there is suitable access to your property, if the courier cannot access your property and consequently the items are not delivered, we cannot be held responsible for this
  • From time to time there can be delivery delays with our independent courier. We know how disappointing this can be and we will do our upmost to ensure this does not occur. If there are known delays with your order we will try to call using the number provided and failing this we will email you. Uno Designs will not be liable for any late or missed delivery or any loss of earnings.
  • You must provide us with working contact details so that we can contact you on the delivery date, failure to do so can lead to delays with your delivery. If we request updated contact information and we do not hear back from you within 4 working days we reserve the right to cancel your order
  • You must check your order confirmation email to make sure we have your correct delivery address. If your delivery address is incorrect you must inform us before dispatch has occurred. If you do not inform us before dispatch has occurred this will cause delays and could lead to an additional charge/return cost
  • You must provide us with directions if your address is difficult to find
  • For security reasons, a signature is required upon receipt of your order. If you cannot be in for your delivery you must let us know straight away. If you cannot have an authorised adult available at your property to sign for the delivery and a neighbour is not available for some couriers items can be left safe, however this has to be requested by the customer and then confirmed by Uno Designs, without this confirmation orders cannot be left safe. We request confirmation is sent via email form. If the customer has requested for items to be left safe the customer is liable for any loss/theft.
  • Once the goods have been delivered to your specified shipping address, you become the owner and are responsible for those goods. From the point of acceptance of goods, they will be at your risk which means you will be held liable for any subsequent damage, loss or destruction.
  • Should you fail to be in for your delivery on 2 or more occasions a redelivery fee will incur before the next attempt can be made. After 3 delivery attempts the items will be returned to us by our courier and you will be charged for the delivery.
  • Should you refuse a delivery attempt from the courier with the items being returned to us, then you will be charged £25.00 for the return back to us.

Cooling Off Period (applicable to online orders only)

 

Under the Consumer Rights Act of 2015, you are entitled to cancel your contract, but only if you exercise this right no longer than 14 days after the day on which goods are received. This is the statutory cooling off period. After this period has expired there is no right to cancel. Items cannot be returned or cancelled after the 14-day cooling off period unless the item is confirmed as being defective.

The 14 days cooling offer period enables you to inspect the goods and to verify your choice. As such it is not a period where you can or should make normal use of the furniture, the furniture must be ‘as new’ condition. If you do use the furniture and then wish to return the items within 14 days we may require an additional payment from you to reflect the deterioration in the condition of the furniture since it has been in your home and to reflect that the item will be ‘returned stock’. The payment will be evaluated on a case by case basis and will be advised at point of cancellation.

Under UK law, the statutory cooling off period excludes the below:
i. Bespoke items. These are goods that have been ordered to the unique and exact specifications of a customer.
ii. Self-assembly items that have been damaged during assembly.

In order to exercise the right to cancel, you must inform us in writing via email including your order number as part of your correspondence. You may also call to discuss cancellation however you will need to follow this call up with an email confirming. The cancellation is effective from the date you send us the email.

If you decide to cancel after receipt of the items, you are responsible for returning the goods to us in new condition and unless the items are damaged/faulty you (the customer) will be responsible for the return cost. You are the owner of the furniture once it has been delivered to you. Failure to take reasonable care of the goods may result in a claim against you. To minimise this risk, please ensure that you pack the goods exactly as received when you return them to us to prevent any damage during transportation. Uno Designs will always offer to book in a collection for the customer and we charge a collection fee on a case by case quote based on product type, number of goods and location of collection. Should you wish to return the items yourself this is not a problem however you must notify us and you will be held fully accountable for any courier damage occurred.

This must be done within 14 days of notification of your decision to cancel the contract.

If you cancel/return your order we will refund the price you paid for the items. Note that we are permitted by law to reduce your refund to reflect any reduction in the value of the goods, if this has been caused by you handling them in a way which would not be permitted in one of our stores or if the returned Goods have not been looked after by you with reasonable care and are not in the condition that they were in when they were delivered to you, we reserve the right to deduct from your refund any loss of value to the goods as a result of your use or damage. We will also refund any delivery costs you have paid via Uno Designs. We cannot refund or accept any responsibility for additional cost such as professional assembly or further delivery cost/service outside of those offered by our company.

Please note we can only issue a refund to the same payment method originally used. If you change your payment method, or the used payment method is no longer valid you will need to resolve this with your bank. Refunds will be made to a credit or debit card or PayPal and may take up to 10 working days depending on your bank. For further clarification on timings, please contact your card issuer.

 

Returns Policy

If for whatever reason the item arrives damaged or faulty, we will arrange collection of this and a replacement will be sent out free of charge. Alternatively, if you wish to receive a full refund and a return of the items we can also arrange this for you.

Any damage on an item must be brought to our attention within 7 days of receipt.

Returns are accepted within 30 days of receiving your order, however the buyer is responsible for the return cost and restocking charges will be deducted from the refund if this item is not damaged/faulty. If an item is damaged/faulty we may require images of this to be assessed by one of our team to see if we can help!

Unfortunately, after 30 days we cannot accept returns for a full refund, however we can arrange to have a replacement piece sent out to you should your product be received in a damaged/faulty condition. If the product is not damaged or faulty and you wish to return a set after 30 days unfortunately this is not possible.

Please note returns cannot be accepted without the original packaging for the items so please make sure you inspect the items before throwing the packaging away!

If you would like to return an item please contact us and we will arrange this for you!

How long will my refund take?

If we have been unable to resolve your problem for you or if you simply want to return the items a refund will be processed as soon as the items are received back with us (typically two working days).
