By Dezign’s delivery service does not include the movement of any other furniture. If required, customers may arrange this service with the sub-contractor at a nominal fee for a set time.  Please note that this service has to be pre-booked and the sub-contractor’s printed terms and conditions document must be signed prior to work commencing.

By Dezign subcontracts to fully trained Furniture Removalists who use proper wool covers and a fully enclosed van (note the Company may on occasions use a courier van for small urgent items).

  • Long distance from the truck “lift off” point.
  • Stairs too narrow to move normal furniture.
  • Unusual delivery, like ship or barge.

After you have placed your order and we have processed your payment we will provide you with an order confirmation by email. This email does not guarantee that the product(s) you have ordered is/are available. It represents confirmation that we have received your order. Your order represents an offer to purchase, which we accept when we dispatch your product(s) and send you an email confirming that your product(s) has/have been dispatched. Once this email has been sent and the goods have been handed over to the designated carrier, the contract between you and us is complete.

This process may include requesting proof of identity and a formal check on the credit card. However, we do not guarantee that we can prevent the fraudulent use of such information by unauthorised third parties. In instances of high value orders being placed and/or where we suspect your card may be at risk of fraudulent use, we will follow internal company procedures to confirm the order is bona fide.
