Delivery
Last updated: 09/01/2026
How delivery works
Most items on Vinterior show a clear delivery price directly on the product page.
If a delivery price isn't shown, you can request a quote by clicking "Get delivery quote" or "Contact seller → Request a delivery quote" on the listing.
Delivery is fulfilled by the seller using their trusted courier or a specialist Vinterior furniture delivery partner.
All delivery details for each item are provided on the product page before you check out.
Delivery is always paid for in advance, either at checkout or when your order is confirmed, using the same payment method as your purchase. You will never be asked to pay a courier directly.
What to expect after you order
- Order placed: you receive an immediate confirmation email.
- Order confirmed by the seller: once the seller confirms availability, they prepare your item for delivery.
- Courier contacts you (within up to one week) to arrange delivery.
- Delivery window confirmed directly with you.
- Item delivered by a furniture courier or standard parcel service.
Delivery Types
Furniture deliveries
For larger furniture pieces, delivery is typically carried out by specialist one or two-person furniture couriers to ensure safe and careful transport.
- Delivered by professional furniture carriers
- A delivery window will be confirmed directly with you.
- Most furniture deliveries follow a predictable process, even when handled by different couriers.
- For reference: When UK furniture deliveries are fulfilled by our partner Proovia, over 7 out of 10 arrive within 7 days of order confirmation. Actual timelines vary by item, courier, and location.
- We recommend checking access (doors, hallways, stairs, lifts) ahead of time
- The delivery price is shown on the product page, or available via quote
- UK-to-UK furniture orders qualify for our flat-fee return option if you change your mind
Smaller & parcel-sized items
Smaller items are delivered using standard parcel couriers.
- Delivered by trusted national couriers
- Typically faster dispatch and delivery
- Lower delivery costs
- Easy for buyers to return using tracked post if needed
How much is delivery?
Most items show a clear delivery price directly on the product page.
This means fewer surprises and fewer delivery quote requests.
If a delivery price isn't shown, you can request a quote from the seller:
- They will confirm the cost
- You can cancel the order for a full refund if you don't accept the quote (before dispatch)
Once an item has been dispatched, delivery costs are non-refundable.

| Furniture Size | Typical Range (incl. VAT) |
|---|---|

- Outbound delivery is non-refundable unless the item was damaged in transit or misdescribed
- Return delivery is paid by the buyer unless the item was damaged in transit or misdescribed
How do I pay for delivery?
Delivery is always paid at checkout.

Before you buy
We recommend checking access (doorways, stairs, lifts) to ensure your item can be delivered safely and without issues.
