STEP 2. Order confirmation:
Prior to dispatch of your good(s), we will send you an order
confirmation by email, giving you full details of the good(s) you have
purchased, delivery address, financial details of the transaction and an
anticipated delivery day.
If you do not receive an order confirmation phone us on 020 8208 1616 or email customer services at sales@absolutebeds.co.uk

errors on your order confirmation, please phone us on 020 8208 1616 or
email customer services at sales@absolutebeds.co.uk and quote your

4.9 Delivery is generally carried out by a national carrier and their
experienced delivery drivers, who will deliver your new goods to the
most easily accessible ground floor door to your premises. Please note
that if you live in a block of flats or in a basement premises, your
good(s) will only be delivered to the most easily accessible ground
floor door of the building, and will not be delivered to your specific
door of your premises within the building or basement. Should you need
help upstairs or require assistance with the positioning of your goods,
you must arrange this yourself. Please note our courier delivery drivers
are not insured to enter private premises. They cannot and will not
enter your premises or any building leading to your premises, assemble
your new goods or dispose of your old goods.
4.10 Delivery of special orders, bespoke furniture and high end brand
bedroom furniture (such as solid wood bed frames and furniture by
Brigitte Forestier, Frank Hudson, and Presotto etc) necessitate the use
of specialist "white glove” delivery personnel. The charge incurred to
cover delivery of these goods, also includes assembly and the removal of
packaging. Customers are advised to inform us of any restrictions
regarding access to the property.
5. UNSUCCESSFUL DELIVERY ATTEMPT
5.1 If, contrary to our Delivery clause above, and otherwise than by reason of our fault:
(a) you fail to give us adequate delivery instructions and/or fail to
inform us that there are errors in the order acknowledgement and/or
order confirmation relating to your delivery address details; or
(b) you fail to inform us that the anticipated delivery day is not
convenient and/or that there are errors in your order confirmation
relating to your delivery address details;
and as a consequence you fail to take delivery of the good(s) whenever
they are tendered for delivery, then without prejudice to any other
right or remedy available to us, we reserve our right to and will
generally seek to recover transportation costs for the return trip and
an administration fee. You may arrange to collect the good(s) at your
expense to avoid a second delivery fee. If you no longer want the
good(s) please see the procedure under our Returns and Cancellation Policy clause .

7. RETURNS & CANCELLATION POLICY
7.1. We want all our customers to be completely satisfied with their
Absolute Beds purchase without reservation. We therefore offer customers
a cooling off period of seven (7) days, starting from the date the
goods are delivered, in which a customer can cancel the contract without
giving a reason. The customer must notify us in writing, for example by email, fax or letter, within 7 days of the date of delivery. Notification by phone is not sufficient.
7.2. Due to the intimate nature of beds, mattresses, pillows etc the
goods must still be sealed in original packaging and not used or
damaged. For reasons of health and hygiene any beds, mattresses or
bedding that has been unsealed will be deemed to have been used and
cannot be returned for any other reason than a manufacturing fault.
7.3. If the Buyer does not cancel the contract in accordance with our
Returns and Cancellation Policy, the Buyer shall be deemed to have
accepted the goods (except any manufacturing faults) and will not be
liable to return the goods to the Seller.
7.4. If you are unhappy with your purchase for any reason or change your mind and you give us written notice prior to delivery
we will refund the cost of your goods. Any refund will be less a £35
administration fee, plus the cost of the credit/debit card transaction
fee charged to the Seller by the Seller’s payment processor NatWest.
7.5. Refunds on cancelled contracts prior to delivery will be made as
soon as possible following written notification of cancellation and in
any case will not exceed a period of 30 days from that written notice.
7.6. All refunds will be made onto the same card used to make the original purchase.
7.7. If you are unhappy with your purchase for any reason or change
your mind and you cancel the contract in accordance with our Returns and
Cancellation Policy after delivery of the good(s), you have two options:
(a) take responsibility for returning the products to us at your own cost and at your own risk; or
(b) authorise us to collect the goods at a mutually convenient date.
The goods must be in the original sealed packaging and in the condition in which they were delivered to the Buyer.
The goods cannot be used or damaged. The Buyer must retain possession
of and responsibility for the goods until the cancellation notice has
been sent (within the relevant time limit), the goods have been
collected/returned AND the returned goods have been accepted by us. The
Buyer will need to ensure that all reasonable care is taken of the goods
whilst in his/her possession.
7.8. If you have cancelled the contract in accordance with our
Returns and Cancellation Policy after delivery of the good(s) and you
intend to return the goods to us you must ensure that the goods are
returned within 21 days of cancellation. The Buyer must take reasonable
care to ensure that the goods are not damaged prior to their return or
in transit and the goods must be in the original sealed packaging.
7.9. If you have cancelled the contract in accordance with our
Returns and Cancellation Policy after delivery of the good(s) and we are
to collect the goods, we will arrange to do so within 21 days of
cancellation. We reserve the right to and will generally seek to recover
the cost of collecting the goods, which would be deducted from the
refund amount or added to any upgrade.
7.10. Refunds on cancelled contracts where the good(s) are already
delivered will take place as soon as possible following the
collection/return and inspection of such goods and in any case will not
exceed a period of 30 days following that collection/return and us
accepting the returned goods. Any refund will be less the cost of the
credit/debit card transaction fee charged to the Seller by the Seller’s
payment processor NatWest. For cancellations after delivery, the Buyer
will therefore be re-credited with a full refund less the exact cost of
collecting the goods (if applicable), an administration fee of £35 and
the card transaction fee.
7.11. Unfortunately, there are the following exceptions to our returns policy:
(a) Made to measure and special order goods (without fault);
(b) Mattresses/Beds that are not in the original packaging or are unsealed;
(c) Customer damaged goods;
(d) Unwanted or damaged items not notified in writing within 7 days.

9. GUARANTEE
9.1. The manufacturers of bedding goods generally offer a guarantee
of a stipulated length on their goods from the date of delivery of the
good(s) purchased. The provisions of any manufacturers guarantee will be
attached to your good(s) on delivery. This guarantee is an added
benefit and does not affect your statutory rights as a consumer.
9.2. The manufacturers guarantee terms will contain warranties
relating to the quality of their goods. Should a breach of a
manufacturers guarantee arise due to either faulty material or poor
workmanship, the manufacturer promises to act in accordance with the
guarantee they offer. Generally, a manufacturers guarantee will provide
for the replacement of any part or the entire product that is defective
and ensure delivery free of charge.
9.3. Any complaints made by you during the period covered by the
manufacturers guarantee should initially be made to us in writing (by
fax, email or letter), quoting your order reference number and setting
out the alleged fault. We shall then liaise with the manufacturer on
your behalf and keep you fully informed of how the matter progresses. If
your product is faulty or damaged when delivered, you must follow the
procedure set out in our terms and conditions under Damaged or Faulty
Goods (section 8).
9.4. In the years following the period expressed in the
Manufacturers Guarantee, we offer as an EXTRA BENEFIT to you an
additional Absolute Beds Warranty. This Absolute Beds Warranty is
separate from and effectively extends the manufacturers guarantee (no
matter what its length) by doubling the period covered. Therefore if
your manufacturers guarantee is for 5 years, our warranty will ensure
you peace of mind for a further 5 years (10 years in total).
9.5. If, after the expiry of the manufacturers guarantee, your
good(s) develop a fault and you wish to claim on our Absolute Beds
warranty, we will impose a charge for the replacement of the faulty item
according to its age. The charges are based on a sliding scale - the
older the item is, the more you will need to contribute towards the
replacement (including delivery costs). The charges will be calculated
as follows (please note that the periods set out below are defined with
reference to the date the manufacturers guarantee expires):
1st year after Manufacturers guarantee expires - charge is 10% of replacement cost
2nd year after Manufacturers guarantee expires - charge is 20% of replacement cost
3rd year after Manufacturers guarantee expires - charge is 30% of replacement cost
4th year after Manufacturers guarantee expires - charge is 40% of replacement cost
5th year after Manufacturers guarantee expires - charge is 50% of replacement cost
6th year after Manufacturers guarantee expires - charge is 60% of replacement cost
7th year after Manufacturers guarantee expires - charge is 70% of replacement cost
8th year after Manufacturers guarantee expires - charge is 80% of replacement cost
9th year after Manufacturers guarantee expires - charge is 90% of replacement cost
9.6. On specific high end brands we offer an Extended Absolute Beds
10 Year Warranty. We recognise that the quality of certain high end
brand goods we sell is second to none and we are willing to back it up
with an Extended Absolute Beds 10 Year Warranty. At the expiry of the
period expressed in the Manufacturers Guarantee, we offer a further 10
year warranty on the following brands:
Therefore if, for example, your Sleepshaper manufacturers guarantee is
for 10 years, then our Extended Absolute Beds 10 Year Warranty will
ensure you peace of mind for a further 10 years (20 years in total).
9.7. If, after the expiry of the manufacturers guarantee, your
good(s) develop a fault and you wish to claim on our Extended Absolute
Beds 10 Year Warranty, we will impose a charge for the replacement of
the faulty item according to its age. The charges are based on the same
sliding scale as set out above. The same charges are applicable to
replacement goods supplied under both our Absolute Beds Warranty and
Extended Absolute Beds 10 Year Warranty.
9.8. To be entitled to a replacement product in accordance with our
Absolute Beds warranty or Extended Absolute Beds 10 Year Warranty, you
will need to comply with our Warranty Conditions set out below.
