Logistics:
Our deliveries are carried out by well established and professional third party carriers. Goods distribution and delivery service is an important opportunity to build customer relationships, and repeat purchases. Superior delivery performance is also one of the most important factors in customer satisfaction and retention. Delivery people and equipment are the store’s image on the road and during delivery. This is why all delivery staff need to be highly trained, uniformed and courteous to meet customer expectations. With health and safety in mind, all equipment is well maintained and kept and up to date.

What is your returns policy?
We fully comply with the European Directive on distance selling (Which is incorporated into UK law by the Consumer Protection (Distance Selling) Regulations 2000).
Should the customer wish to return an item to us, the customer has 7 working days from receipt of goods, in which to decide to keep your ordered items or return them to us for a refund. You may return any, unused, undamaged goods in their original packaging within 14 days of the date of dispatch.
Please note that it is the customers responsibility to take care of the products and ensure they are returned to us safely & in a saleable condition in original packaging. We will refund the cost of the product to you upon receipt of the returned items. We cannot always refund postage & packaging costs.
For damages and product related issues please notify us by email: info@woodkatouch.com within 24 hours of receipt of your delivery.
How do I return an item?
Best and cost-effective way to return goods is by using our courier service. Please contact us by email: info@woodkatouch.co.uk , we will then issue a return code and clarify the details of the return method.
Will the delivery charge be refunded?
We regret that postage & packaging are direct courier costs and cannot be refunded in all circumstances. However, if the return is due to our error, we will refund both the outbound & the return postage charges. In all other circumstances, the cost of return postage and the original postage charge are both non-refundable. For large furniture items, a standard charge will be levied towards the cost of the return carriage, See Note below (even in the case of the original delivery being free of charge).
The buyer is always responsible for the return carriage costs. We will forward your refund within 30 days of us receiving the returned items back to us.
NOTE: Please remember that All Deliveries are heavily subsidized. If you wish to return these items to us, we reserve the right to refund less than the original purchase price. This is because we subsidize your original delivery fees which are absorbed in our profit margin, unfortunately we cannot subsidize returned items, and therefore this will be chargeable at £60 per box.
It is the customers responsibility to ensure that the furniture will physically fit in your home. Also for health and safety ensure that there is clear and ample access to entrance, staircase and hallways. The carrier will not compromise on health and safety.
Please note if any items are damaged email us on: info@woodkatouch.com within 24 hours of receiving the item, stating the order number and nature of damage.
