11. Can I cancel a delivery upgrade service?
Yes, but you must call us before 3pm on the working day before delivery.
A full refund may be available if:
- You call before the deadline
- The delivery route and timings have not already been finalised
Cancellations made after 3pm are non-refundable.
Email requests do not guarantee that the service can be cancelled in time.
12. What do I need to do before bed assembly or removal?
For bed assembly:
- Make sure there is enough clear and safe space
- Remove furniture or items that may block the team
- Ensure the delivery route is clear
For bed removal:
- Fully dismantle the old bed before the team arrives
- Make sure each section is small enough to remove safely
- The delivery team will not dismantle the old bed
13. What if the upgrade service cannot be completed?
The upgrade fee will remain non-refundable if the service cannot be completed because:
- There is not enough space
- The room is not ready
- The old bed has not been dismantled
- The sections are too large to remove
- Access is unsuitable
- The customer is unavailable
The fee covers the time reserved within the delivery team’s schedule, rather than only the successful completion of the service.
