Common Questions
Why does my order have a longer lead time?
Because it’s built and procured just for you — not mass‑produced. This keeps prices fair, reduces waste, and ensures your furniture is freshly finished when it arrives.
Can I cancel or change my order?
Before procurement process starts (typically a few hours after you placed your order) — yes, simply email us. Once in production, materials and labour are already committed to your piece, so changes aren’t possible
Does Buy Now Pay Later work with pre‑orders?

How do I track my order?
We’ll email/SMS updates at every stage (production, shipment, arrival in NSW, delivery booking). You can also check status anytime via your Order Lookup page.
Do you deliver to multi-storey buildings or tricky access locations?
Yes—tell us in advance so we can allocate the right crew/equipment, note stairs/elevator sizes, parking, etc. Inside/white-glove may incur a fee and must be arranged before dispatch; standard is kerbside.
