Q. Can I make changes to my online order?
We all change our mind now and again. If you want to make any changes to your order, email us, contact us via Live Chat or call us for free on 02088555973 for further assistance. Please keep in mind that not every piece of furniture is the same, so there might be variations between batches.

Please refer to our Returns and Cancellations for more details.
Q. Can you tell me the availability of a specific item?
Before you select a product to buy online, you'll find an indication of the current lead time for delivery will have been given on the product page and within Checkout when you place your order. While some bespoke items or those labelled 'made with care' may also require longer lead times. If there are any queries/issues we will be in contact with you. Please be aware that this information can change daily. Furniture Village cannot be held responsible for delays beyond our control. We will always endeavor to inform you as soon as we become aware of any changes in the time originally given when you placed your order.

Delivery questions
COVID-19 has provided significant challenges, but we’re happy to announce Furniture Village is now operating a safe, non-contact delivery service. Most of your questions about our Premier Delivery Service can be answered here.
Our Furniture Village collection points are open, and our recycling service is also up and running again. Please note: We have temporarily suspended deliveries to the areas of Aberdeen that are currently under local government lockdown. We will resume our delivery service there when we are told that it is safe to do so.
Meghan Furnishings can collect and dispose of divan beds and mattresses on a ‘like for like’ basis, for a one-off fee of £60. We’re currently asking customers to ‘bag and seal’ furniture prior to collection with bags provided in advance. We can only accept furniture for recycling that’s wrapped and fully sealed.
For all other furniture, (excluding accessories) our partner, Speedy Clear offer a next day collection service for a reasonable fee.
For full details, please see our Furniture Collection page
Q. What if my furniture does not fit?
Nobody wants the unfortunate situation where the furniture you’ve ordered does not fit, where it’s too big for the room or won’t fit through your home’s doorways or entrances. So, when you order your furniture, it’s important to check that it will fit into your house and your room. Please measure all doors, stairways and the chosen space as carefully as possible. Click here for our helpful online measuring guide.
Meghan Furnishings cannot accept responsibility for furniture not fitting, as ultimately it is up to you, the customer, to measure. If the worst happens and your delivered furniture won’t fit in, we can offer advice on what to do next. If this happens, or if you are concerned about furniture due to be delivered may not fit then please email us, contact us via Live Chat or call us for free on 02088555973
Q. Can I order on Furniture Village Online and collect my order?
Yes, we have selected collection points across the country. These are usually our regional distribution centres which may or may not be attached to your local store. Simply select ‘Collection’ at the checkout, the available options will be shown for your particular order. The collection point will get in touch with you on receipt of your order and advise on collection times.
Q. Do you deliver overseas?
Unfortunately we do not deliver overseas at the moment, but we’re working on it. If you wish, in the meantime, please contact a member of our team for further assistance. For example, if you can nominate your own shipper, we’re happy to deliver to their UK mainland address, or they can collect from the nearest Furniture Village distribution centre.
One more thing….
Our Structural Guarantee or Guardsman Policies don’t provide cover outside the UK mainland. This includes all off-shore island locations.
Q. Where do you deliver to?
We deliver to mainland England, Scotland and Wales. If you live in Scotland, the Highlands or if your postcode more than 40 miles away from one of our distribution centres, an additional one to two weeks will need to be added to the originally quoted delivery time. Please refer to our Delivery Page for more information.
Q. What do you charge for delivery?
Our delivery charges vary by product type. Please refer to our Delivery Page for more information.
Payment
Most of your questions about Payments can be answered here.
Q. What are the payment options online?
We accept all major credit and debit cards including MasterCard, Visa and American Express.
We also offer interest free credit, provided by Hitachi Capital. Please refer to our Payment Options page for more information.
Q. Do I have to pay in full or can I pay a deposit when paying online?
If your order is eligible for a deposit payment, the payment page will notify you this as an option and provide details on how to proceed. If you proceed with this option, the remaining balance will then be debited automatically, from the given payment method, prior to delivery. Please note, customers will only be contacted if there is an issue with this.
Q. If I pay a deposit for my order, when will my balance be taken?
If you’ve placed your order with a deposit, your remaining balance will automatically be debited from the same card before the delivery. If, for any reason, the balance is outstanding upon delivery, we won’t be able to proceed with the delivery until the full payment has been made. If you wish to pay with an alternative card, please call 02088555973 and inform our team at least ten days before you expect your delivery.
For orders which are delivered to you direct from our suppliers, balances will be taken 14 days before delivery.
Don’t forget…
We will always let you know if we are unable to authorise the final balance payment.
Q. How do I apply for Interest Free Credit online?
It’s simple. Furniture Village is happy to offer you the option of paying for your furniture in easy to manage instalments, which are completely interest free, subject to a minimum order value.
Q. Am I eligible to apply for Interest Free Credit?
To take advantage of this payment method, you must first meet the following criteria:
•18 years of age or above
•You or your partner are in permanent paid employment (over 16 hours per week), retired (receiving a pension) or self employed
•Been resident in the UK for at least 12 months and will continue your residency in the UK
•Have Bank or Building Society current account details available to be able to complete the direct debit order
Applications will not normally be accepted in the following circumstances:
•Unemployment and partner also not working
•Students
When paying with interest free credit, we can only deliver the furniture delivered to your billing address as specified on the finance application.
If you wish to go ahead, simply click on the interest free credit option in the checkout, and follow the instructions. We will then ask you to create a temporary account with a password. This is necessary in case an instant decision cannot be made by the underwriters. They will also contact you if a little extra information is needed to assist your application. Remember you can keep track of your application’s progress by logging onto your account.
The decision will be returned automatically either on the screen or via email directly from Hitachi Capital Finance. If you make a mistake, or are in any doubt please call us for advice on 02088555973.
Q. What happens after my online Interest Free Credit application has been approved?
Once your application has been accepted, you will need to fill out and sign an electronic copy of your application form. Just follow the steps on the screen to complete your application. Once we’ve confirmed with you that your order has been processed, separate paperwork listing the items you have chosen will be posted to the billing address you’ve provided. We strongly recommend that you print out your Interest Free Credit agreement and retain a copy for your own records.
On the odd occasion, Hitachi Capital Finance may require you to sign the forms physically. If this is the case, they will send the forms to you requesting a signature before proceeding with the order.
Take note…
No physical documents will be sent to you unless you request these from Hitachi Capital Finance during your application process. There are clear buttons on screen to help you.
Your 14 day cooling off period, during which you may cancel the contract at any time, starts the day after your E signature has been completed on the credit agreement. In cases where a personal signature has been requested, this period starts the day after the agreement is made. (This does not apply to loan applications made in store).
Don’t forget…
Delivery of your items cannot be made until Hitachi Capital Finance has confirmed with Meghan Furnishings that your approved application has been processed and signed.
In the event that you choose to cancel your order, you can of course go ahead up to 14 calendar days after your order has been received and delivered. Once you have advised us in writing, either by post or email, any deposits paid will be refunded back to your card. This, in some cases, can take up to seven working days to be credited back to your account.
Q. When do I start paying my Interest Free Credit instalments?
That’s easy. Once 75% of your order’s total value has been delivered to your home address, the Interest Free Credit loan company will contact you to advise that the instalments will begin to be collected from your chosen bank account. Generally, the first instalment is around 4 weeks or during the calendar month following the month of your delivery day.
Q. What happens if my online Interest Free Credit application is declined?
If, for whatever reason, your loan application is not approved, Hitachi Capital Finance will contact you immediately regarding their decision. Hitachi Capital Finance will send you, by email or post, a leaflet with details of how you can get further advice regarding their credit decision. Please note that we at Furniture Village are not responsible for this decision. Any questions regarding this will need to be taken up with Hitachi Capital Finance directly on 0344 815 0050.
Furniture Village will also contact you separately to ask if you would like to select another payment method to continue with your order.
