Shipping
We can organise competitive UK and WORLDWIDE shipping
We offer an insured delivery service to the whole of UK (excluding islands and Highlands). Where appropriate, smaller items will be sent using a parcel delivery service and you should allow around 1 week for delivery. Larger items will be sent via a specialist antique furniture courier. Please allow around two to four weeks for deliveries. As standard we offer a one man delivery service and the driver will not be able to carry large or heavy items on his own. Our insurance policy (like most others) only covers curb side deliveries. Upon request from the customer, the driver will happily carry items into your home, or where items are large assist others to do so, however in the event that any damage is caused to the item, home or person (whether this be the customer, their helpers or our driver), this will be at the customer's (or their insurers) responsibility. If you require International, urgent or 2 man delivery please call 07866 705199 or email mark@priorandwillis.co.uk, as we are likely to be able to organise this for you (usually at additional cost).
Terms of Sale
Antique furniture is old and we have done our best to describe any major faults. The buyer should expect imperfections such as shrinkage cracks/gaps, scratches, knocks, marks, wear, chips, distortion, repairs to structure and veneers, extinct woodworm holes, finish deterioration/patina and alterations. These features are to be expected on genuine antiques and add to their character and historical honesty. It is quite usual also for handles, drawer bottoms/runners, feet and other component parts to be worn or replaced over the years. Unless otherwise stated there is unlikely to be a key and the locks may or may not exist/work. Please get in touch before buying and we will send additional photos doing our best to describe the item honestly. This is always a good idea. Even better you are welcome to come and view the item before buying. Just get in touch for an appointment.
Returns
For distant or off premises purchases we offer a full no quibble refund excluding our delivery and collection costs. Orders must be cancelled in writing (emails are fine) within 30 days of receipt. The customer must prepare the item purchased for collection by wraping/boxing in its original packaging and permit collection in a reasonable time frame. Refunds will be made within 14 days of safe return to our offices. Deductions will be made for any damage caused whilst the item purchased is in the care of the customer (from customer's first receipt, to arrival back at our offices). This offer does not apply to items purchased at our offices, when any refunds will be at our discretion.
