Delivery

You must check products carefully before signing the proof of delivery. Damages can not be claimed for unless they are noted on this form.

As delays can happen up to the day of delivery we advise you not to dispose of any old beds or mattresses until you are in receipt of your new items. We can not be held responsible if you do decide to dispose of items before your delivery is received.

The product prices displayed do not include delivery. All prices quoted are subject to confirmation, as some zonal surcharges may apply. In a case where surcharges will apply Longbeds will contact you to confirm the additional cost before processing your order.

We will use reasonable endeavours to complete delivery on or before any delivery dates which we have estimated at the time of placing the order. We shall not be liable for any delay in delivery of the Goods howsoever caused. You shall accept a mutually pre-arranged delivery time/date and you are responsible for ensuring that (i) you provide adequate delivery instructions, and (ii) appropriate access is available to the delivery person(s) and their vehicle, and (iii) you, or a responsible adult on your behalf, are present to accept the delivery.

Returns

Almost all products on this web site are made to order, therefore we do not accept general returns or cancellations, from placing your order you are liable for the full order value. As such it is essential to measure all rooms and access doors as you will remain liable for the full order value if delivery fails because of difficulty of access. This does not affect your statutory rights when goods are faulty, or not as described. In the instance of our accepting goods to be returned we will give prior written notification before items can be returned. Returns are required to be sent well packaged un-used, and in original, undamaged wrapping. If we find that the product has not been returned to us in fully resalable condition, we reserve the right to refuse a refund on the item, or make a deduction on the refund value.

Guarantee

In the unlikely event that your goods prove defective please contact us to advance the appropriate action. Should a genuine manufacturing or materials fault occur within 12 months from the date of purchase we will repair or replace the product completely free of charge. After the first 12 months but within the 5 year warranty period Longbeds will have the right and the discretion to arrange repair or replace the product, charging you for one fifth of the current retail price multiplied by the total number of years you have owned the bed. Longbeds reserve the right to refuse this offer if defect is caused by misuse or where product has become soiled, unsanitary, has excessive wear and tear, where the mattress has been used on a unsuitable base, or has been used beyond its recommended weight range. Body impression is considered normal on luxury mattresses and does not constitute a manufacturing fault. Where a product is replaced we will endeavour to match the specification, material, and colour but reserve the right to substitute alternatives. If a product with a reported fault is collected and on inspection found to have no material or manufacturing fault we reserve the right to charge for costs incurred in processing the inspection including but not limited to collection and redelivery of the product. For the purpose of our guarantee on goods exported from Mainland UK, it is the responsibility of the customer to return the goods to Mainland UK at their expense for inspection of manufacturing faults. Similarly, it is at the customers’ expense to transport any replacements or returns out of the United Kingdom thereafter.

Risk and Retention of Title
