A replacement or refund will be offered to you for a major defect which renders the product not fit for purpose. Reports for minor defects where the product fails to be of acceptable quality and the failure does not amount to a major defect will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis and we will offer you an appropriate solution in the form of a replacement part, repair, small discount, or paint pen to conceal small imperfections to painted finishes. Please email us with your order details and photos of the damaged or faulty product to hello@derrimutdiscountfurniture.com and our customer support team will get in touch with you to resolve.

Refusal of Delivery
1. If delivery is refused for reasons not related to product fault:
-
All delivery costs remain payable

Return shipping and restocking fees will apply

The 20% cancellation/admin fee may still apply
Storage & Delayed Collection
1. If delivery or pickup is delayed by the customer beyond the agreed date:

You have read and understood these Terms & Conditions
-
You accept the 20% cancellation/admin fee once an order is secured

Minor Imperfections and Variations
1. As the majority of our products are constructed from sustainably sourced hardwood timber, variations in wood grains, colour and finish are fair and reasonable and to be expected when purchasing products with this material makeup. In these instances, we are unable to provide returns or replacements for reasonable minor imperfections in the colour and grains of the hardwood.
