- These are goods that are not stock items and are made to your specific requirements, e.g., special sizes, fabric choices for divan bases and headboards, or items that are made to non-standard specifications. It is important that you are happy with the items that you are purchasing, as they are non-returnable and non-refundable.

- We deliver most goods to these areas using our own vehicles (marked with Reading bedding signage) and our dedicated dispatch team. A driver and drivers mate will take the items to the room of your choice. Please ensure that any breakables are stored away.
- Saturday deliveries are limited and available in selected areas only.

It is the customers responsibility to ensure the ordered items can be delivered into the room of choice (if this service is selected). If we are unable to deliver into your room of choice due to access issues, we can leave the goods elsewhere or return them back to the store for you to have time to make suitable arrangements. If goods have been specially ordered they are non-refundable and a redelivery charge will apply.
- Failed Delivery Attempt
- Please do not dispose of your existing items until you have received your order from us. There are rare occasions where we may be unable to make the delivery to you on the agreed date, and as such, we do not advise that you dispose of any of the items that you are replacing until you have received and checked your items from us.
- Although at Ready For Bed we always strive to deliver within the agreed dates and times, we do occasionally come up against problems that can make this impossible. In the event that we are unable to make the delivery on the selected date, we will contact you as soon as we can to advise you and make alternative arrangements. Please be aware that, where we use a carrier, we are not always able to control the delivery process and must rely on the information that we are given. Please be patient with us, and we will do our very best to assist you.
- If you have supplied incorrect delivery details, we will do our best to get your items to you as soon as possible (once we have the correct information). However, there will be a charge for this (see Section 9).
- Please note that we cannot be held responsible for any losses arising from a late or failed delivery.
- Amending Deliveries
- Changes to the date or address before the item is dispatched from us are free.
- Amendments to date or addresses after a delivery attempt has been made will incur a £50.00 charge (and this may affect the delivery date).
- Failed delivery attempts due to no one being at the property will incur a £50.00 charge to reattempt delivery (not guaranteed the same day).
- Failed delivery attempts due to the customer supplying incorrect information will incur a £50.00 charge to reattempt delivery (not guaranteed the same day).
- Orders placed on finance can’t be changed once the finance agreement has been approved.
- Risk
- We recommend that there be a responsible adult to take delivery of any goods and to sign for these goods on delivery. If you require the goods to be left without a signature, Ready For Bed will not be held responsible for any theft or weather damage to your goods. The goods will be left at your own risk and will only be left if there is a signed and dated note with the customer’s permission for the driver to take. We do not recommend that your goods are left outside due to the threat of weather damage or theft.
- Once delivery has been made, it is the customer’s responsibility to take reasonable care of the items.
- Faulty Items
- If your item develops a fault, we will deal with your complaint in accordance with your rights under the Sale of Goods Act 1979. You will also be supplied with a warranty or guarantee, which is in addition to your statutory rights.
- Cancellation and Returns
- Please check over your goods on delivery to ensure that the packaging is intact and all items appear to be in good condition before you sign for them. If you find your goods to be faulty, damaged, or incorrect, please refuse the items and contact customer service as soon as possible. If you find that your goods are damaged after you have taken delivery, please notify us as soon as possible. We ask that you inspect your goods within a reasonable time frame and prior to them being transported anywhere else.
- If you are not satisfied with your purchase for any other reason (excluding manufacturing faults or misdescribed products) and report this in writing within 14 working days from the date of delivery, you will be given the option to return the product to us for a refund or exchange. You must ensure that the goods are adequately packed, and it is your responsibility to return the product to us and cover any associated costs of return (please include your reference number and name on any returns). If you fail to take reasonable care of the goods before they are returned to us and this results in damage or deterioration, we will seek to recover the reduction in value from you. This policy does not affect your legal rights. This policy excludes “made-to-measure” items (items made to the consumer’s specification) (see Section 6).
- Our warehouse is open for returns Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Please note that no deliveries to Reading Bedding (the physical store location for Ready For Bed) can be accepted at any other time. Ready For Bed cannot be held responsible for failed deliveries made outside of this time or for losses or damage made by your carrier.
- Once we have received the goods, we will inform you and arrange for a refund or exchange. Please note that refunds may take up to 14 days to process.
- If you are unable to arrange your own carriage, we will arrange this on your behalf through our carriers. Collections from customers are available Monday through Friday and are an all-day service, from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. This service costs £155.00. The drivers cannot call before collection, and we cannot provide a narrower time window.
- Should you wish to cancel your order or return your goods due to a manufacturing fault, once the fault has been confirmed, we will be happy to carry the associated carriage costs and make the necessary arrangements.
