FAQ’s

Answers to frequently asked questions.

Stock & Product Availability

How long before my order is ready?

We are usually able to process all orders within 1-3 business days. If we encounter delays, we will of course keep you informed. Please ensure your contact details are correct when placing your order.

Do you keep all products in stock?

We strive to keep good levels of stock at all times, however our showroom and warehouse do not have infinite capacity, and so sometimes we will need to source items from our many suppliers.

We will of course inform you of any fulfilment delays we encounter, however you are welcome to contact us to check stock before placing an order.

Exceptions

Certain brands maintain very limited global stock, some products are only available as special order items, and some are even manufactured to order for our customers.

The situation changes constantly with the ebb & flow of global supply, distribution, and component availability. If your order is time-sensitive, please do contact us before placing an order and we can provide the latest supply information regarding any specific product or brand.
