Ordering and Payment

How do I place an order?

To place an order online simply click the “add to basket” button next to the item you wish to purchase. Once you have finished selecting your product click the ‘checkout’ button at the top of the page to proceed to the secure payment pages, where we will request delivery and billing information. We have ensured that each part of this process is as simple as possible and have provided guidance notes where required.

What methods of payment do you accept?

We are able to accept Visa, Mastercard, Maestro, Solo, Electron and American Express via our online payment page. Payments can also be accepted from Paypal via the payment page. Should you wish to pay by cheque or bacs, simply call 0845 1800081 or email sales@furnituredream.co.uk to place your order.

Do your prices include VAT?

All of our prices are fully inclusive of VAT at the relevant rate

Can I claim VAT relief?

Registered disabled people can claim VAT relief when they buy equipment that has been designed solely for disabled people or product which has been adapted so they can use it. VAT law states that a person must be 'chronically sick or disabled' to qualify for VAT relief. A person is 'chronically sick or disabled' if they:

• Have a physical or mental impairment that has a long-term and severe effect on their ability to carry out everyday activities
• Have a condition that doctors treat as a chronic sickness (like diabetes for example)
• Are terminally ill

A person with a temporary injury like a broken leg would not qualify, nor would a frail older person who was generally able-bodied.

What products are eligible for VAT relief?

Of the thousands of products we stock only our rise and recline chairs are currently eligible for VAT relief.
If you would like to purchase one of our stunning rise and recline chairs and feel that you may qualify for VAT relief please contact us on 0845 1800081 to discuss placing your order.

Can I cancel my order?

You can cancel your order at any time between the placement of the order and ten days following delivery (subject to the terms of our ten day money back guarantee) Where orders have been delivered and you wish to return some or all of the goods we will apply a £45 collection fee per order.

Please note that special orders and commissioned pieces (including upholstery orders) cannot be cancelled unless we are notified within one week of order placement. The full order price will be applied thereafter.
