Shipping policy

lux-furn.co.za Shipping Policy

At lux-furn.co.za, we strive to make your furniture delivery as smooth and convenient as possible. Please read our shipping policy carefully to understand our procedures and your responsibilities.

Standard Delivery

Doorstep Delivery: Once your payment has been cleared and processed, we will deliver your order to your designated delivery address, directly to your doorstep or the ground floor entrance of your building.
Delivery Fees: A standard delivery fee applies to all orders. This fee will be calculated and displayed at checkout based on your location.
Delivery Timeframes: Estimated delivery timeframes will be provided at the time of purchase. Please note that these are estimates, and actual delivery times may vary due to unforeseen circumstances.

Customer Responsibilities & Additional Services

Our standard delivery service includes delivery to your doorstep. For any requests beyond this, please be aware of the following:

Delivery to Higher Floors: If you require your furniture to be delivered to an apartment or office on a higher floor, additional charges may apply. This service is subject to the driver's discretion and ability to safely handle the item(s) up multiple flights of stairs or within the building's lift constraints. Please contact us in advance to discuss such requests and obtain a quote.
Narrow Doorways, Hallways, or Obstructions: It is the customer's responsibility to ensure that the chosen furniture items can fit through all doorways, hallways, and stairwells leading to the desired placement area. We encourage you to measure these spaces carefully before placing your order.
Damage Clause (Narrow Access): In instances where the delivery team attempts to maneuver furniture through narrow doorways, hallways, or other confined spaces at the customer's request, any damage incurred to the furniture or property as a result of these efforts will be the sole responsibility of the customer. Our delivery personnel will exercise reasonable care, but we cannot be held liable for damages arising from difficult access points.
Assistance with Assembly: Our standard delivery does not include assembly services. Many of our furniture items require some degree of assembly, and instructions are provided. If you require assembly, please inquire about potential additional services and charges prior to your delivery.
Receiving Your Delivery: Please ensure that someone is available to receive and inspect your delivery at the scheduled time. If no one is available, redelivery charges may apply.

Before Your Delivery

Clear the Path: Please ensure that the delivery path from the truck to your doorstep, and any interior path if you've arranged for additional services, is clear of obstructions, debris, and any items that could impede the delivery process.
Protect Your Floors: If you are concerned about your flooring, please lay down protective coverings in the delivery path.

Upon Delivery Inspection

Inspect Thoroughly: Before signing for your delivery, please carefully inspect all items for any signs of damage or defects.
Note Damages: If you notice any damage, please make a clear note of it on the delivery receipt before signing. Take photographs of any damage as well.
Report Issues: Report any issues or damages to Homzy.co.za customer service within [Number] hours of delivery.

If you have any questions or require special delivery arrangements, please do not hesitate to contact our customer service team at [Your Customer Service Email/Phone Number].
