General Questions
Q:- How long will my order take to come?
A:- Different items have different time scales. Large items and bespoke pieces are approx 6-8 weeks from placing the order. Floating shelves are 4-6 weeks and small items such as tea light holders are 7-10 days.
Q:- I have placed an order but not had any conformation that you have got my order.
A:- We don't use an automated order conformation system. Each order is checked over by us to ensure all parts of the order are complete and in the case of special instuction that they are indeed possible. Only then do we send out an order conformation email manually. Depending on our current work load and the time you place the order [after hours/weekends etc] you my see a delay between you ordering and the email being sent.
Q:- Do I need a paypal account in order to make a payment?
A:- No you can pay via credit card/debit card on paypal without opening an account.
Q:- If I am out when my item is delivered can it be left behind the bin, in the greenhouse, round the back etc etc?
A:- Sorry all items need signing for or the courier will not leave the item.
Q:- Can you tell me what time the item will be delivered on the day of delivery?
A:- If your item is being delivered to you via the courier {small items ie shelves coffee tables etc} then sorry no, they deliver between 8am and 6pm. If you are having a large item delivered {sideboards, dining tables etc} then we will be making the delivery and you will be given a two hour delivery slot. This slot will have been sorted out between yourself and us in advance.
Floating shelf questions
Q:- How long will my shelf take to be delivered?
A:- All shelves are made to order and in the order that they are received. As an approx guide most shelves are delivered in 4-6 weeks from the order being placed.
Q:- I want a shelf that's over 300mm deep can you help?
A:- Sorry no. The max shelf depth is 300mm, this is to stay within the safe working loads set out by the bracket supplier.
Q:- Can your shelves be used on stud walls?
A:- Sorry the wall must be a solid wall, that is brick or block construction and plastered.
Q:- You only list shelves up to 1400mm can I have a longer shelf?
A:- Yes but the courier fee changes over this length and we like to quote each job on it's own merit. Please email us with your size requirements and the first half of your post code and we will provide you with a quote.
Q:- I want a shelf to fit in an alcove at a size that's not listed, can you help?
A:- Yes that's fine. To order bespoke sizes purchase the size above your requirements. Then when it comes to checkout there will be a section where you can add notes to your order. Just add your required size to this section and continue to complete your purchase. It is important that your requirements are added to this section so we know what size to produce.
eg:- If you require a 1085mm x 200 then purchase a 1100 x 200
If you require a 1000mmm x 230mm then purchase a 1000mm x 250mm
If you require a 1085mm x 230mm then purchase a 1100mm x 250mm and so on
Q:- I want the corners rounded on my shelf, can you do this?
A:- Yes that's fine, there is no extra charge for this. Just add to the notes box as stated on the question above. Please state the amount that you require them rounding by.
Q:- I want to stain my shelf to match other items I have, can I do this?
A:- Once the shelf is oiled then no. Any stain must go on first and not after the oil. If this is what you wish to do please request your shelf unfinished and we will send it out unfinished.
Q:- What weight can I put on my floating shelf?
A:- 20kg per meter on a 200mm wide shelf and 15kg per meter on a 300mm shelf.
