With DPD deliveries, while you cannot choose a specific delivery time, downloading the DPD app puts you in control. It lets you select options such as an alternate delivery date, leave with a neighbour, or leave in a safe location.
Please note, the “leave in a safe place” and “leave with a neighbour” options are not available for large furniture items.
Choosing the “leave in a safe place” option is done entirely at the receiver’s own risk. Selecting this option voids transit liability, meaning any issues like missing items or damage cannot be resolved by our team.
For large furniture items, a delivery date is offered and must be accepted by 2pm the day before. Any changes after this deadline may incur additional charges.
If a scheduled delivery fails due to customer error, missed delivery fees may apply:
If your order has already been dispatched and there is a change to the delivery schedule, we will notify you promptly. For DPD deliveries, updates and any changes will be communicated through the DPD app, which is highly recommended for tracking and managing your delivery. For large furniture deliveries, any updates will be sent via SMS to the contact number provided.
Delivery dates are usually fixed; however, on rare occasions they may change due to unforeseen circumstances beyond our control. These could include delays caused by factors such as driver breakdowns, traffic disruptions, extreme weather, or shipping container delays.
Pre-order item delivery dates are estimates and may be subject to change. We will keep you informed of any updates to your expected delivery date via email.
If your order includes furniture or pre-order items, you may receive multiple delivery dates.
furniture deliveries are made within 3 working days from completion, while other items are delivered via DPD within 2 working days unless a Next Day Delivery upgrade has been selected.*

*Delivery availability and timeframes may vary depending on your location. See Delivery Terms.
DPD Parcels: DPD will attempt delivery twice. If both attempts fail, the parcel will be returned to us. Redelivery fees start from £16 and will apply if the parcel is returned due to customer request, refusal, or any customer error (e.g., incorrect address, failure to collect from a pick-up point).
Any rejected delivery or return-to-sender charges imposed by DPD will also be charged in line with the applicable return fees.
For DPD deliveries, you can use the DPD app to arrange alternative delivery options, such as delivering to a neighbour or leaving the parcel in a designated safe location. However, please note:
Furniture Deliveries: For large furniture deliveries, only one delivery attempt is made. If the delivery fails due to customer error, the goods will be returned to the sender and missed delivery fees will apply as follows:
Redelivery can take between 7 and 14 days once the applicable fee is paid. These fees also apply if you choose to cancel the order after a delivery attempt has been made, or if a cancellation request is submitted after 2pm on the day before the scheduled delivery.
Please ensure someone over the age of 18 is available at the delivery address to accept the order at the agreed time.
Unlike standard parcels, furniture deliveries cannot be left in a safe place or with a neighbour, and doing so is not permitted by the carrier. Any missed delivery due to unavailability at the delivery address will result in the charges outlined above.
Yes, as long as someone aged 18 or over is present at the delivery address, they can sign for your delivery.
For DPD parcel deliveries: If you leave specific instructions via intercom, building notes, or similar (e.g. asking the driver to leave the parcel in a hallway, lobby, mailroom, or with a neighbour), this is done at your own risk. Such instructions void our transit liability, as the parcel is considered delivered once left where instructed.
Parcels delivered to mailrooms, designated delivery areas within a building, or handed to another person within the building are treated as compliant deliveries, as these are recognised as designated delivery points. Any disputes over the parcel after it has been delivered to the specified address and accepted in this way would then be a civil matter between the recipient and third parties.
Please note: large furniture deliveries cannot be left in a safe place or delivered to neighbours. Furniture must be handed directly to someone at the delivery address, and delivery to the correct location within the building and handed to an adult is considered a compliant delivery.
If you do not wish for your DPD parcel to be left in a mailroom or shared area, please update your preferences in the DPD app before delivery to arrange an alternative option.
We’re sorry to hear about the issue this is not the standard of service we aim to provide. To help us resolve this as quickly as possible, please email hello@thenurserystore.com with full details of the problem.
When you get in touch, please include clear photos of the item, the packaging, and any labels on the packaging. This information really helps us investigate and speed up the process.
If a collection is needed, it will also save time if you can confirm a preferred weekday collection date, allowing at least 48 hours’ notice.
We’re really sorry to hear your item hasn’t arrived in perfect condition — we know how disappointing that can be, especially when you’ve been looking forward to receiving it.
If your parcel or item arrives damaged, please email our customer care team as soon as possible at hello@thenurserystore.com, ideally within 48 hours, and no later than 7 days of receipt. Unfortunately, we’re unable to assist with damage claims raised more than 7 days after delivery, so it’s very important to visually check all items carefully upon arrival and before assembling or using them, as assembly or use of the goods is considered acceptance.
To help us resolve things as quickly and smoothly as possible, please include the following in your email:
If a collection is required, it can only take place on weekdays.
Please note: If you chose a “leave safe” delivery option, this voids the courier’s transit liability. In such cases we are unable to support damage claims for items left without a signature.
We’ll always do our best to put things right without unnecessary stress. Your statutory rights remain unaffected.
If your delivery hasn’t arrived when expected, we’re sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.
Please allow up to 5 full working days from the expected delivery date for your order to arrive. Deliveries can occasionally be delayed due to factors beyond our control — such as bad weather, road closures, or operational issues — so we ask for your patience during this time.
Before contacting us, please also take a moment to check the delivery status:
If your order has still not arrived after 5 working days, please email us at hello@thenurserystore.com, and we will investigate and resolve the matter as quickly as possible.
Important to note:
We always aim to resolve delivery issues fairly and quickly while balancing the evidence available to us. Your statutory rights are not affected.
No, sorry, we only deliver to the UK mainland.
We’re sorry you’re having trouble tracking your order. Please allow up to 5 days for any updates to show as, from time to time, large volumes in the carrier networks can delay parcels. If you still haven’t received your order after this time period, please get in touch with us via our Contact us page.
The delivery dates provided for pre-order items are initial estimates and may be subject to change. While we aim to be as accurate as possible, these dates can sometimes shift due to factors beyond our control.
On rare occasions, even delivery dates for in-stock (non-pre-order) items might be affected by unexpected events such as shipping container delays, carrier issues, or other logistical challenges.
To stay up to date, we recommend downloading the DPD app for real-time tracking and delivery updates on parcel items. For large furniture deliveries, please contact Furdeco directly on 0121 285 5255 for the latest information.
In all cases, we will keep you informed and notify you promptly of any changes to your expected delivery date, so you can plan accordingly. We appreciate your understanding and patience should any delays occur.
We’re sorry to hear your item is not where you expect it to be. Please check with all members of your household and close neighbours to see if they’ve signed for it. Please also check any named safe locations where it may have been left.
We ask you that you report missing deliveries as soon as you are able. This will give us time to request that the driver return to your property to try and resolve the issue.
If you can see from the delivery image that your order was left in your safe location, we may need a crime reference in order to proceed, as this would be classed as theft of property. You can report this to the police via the link below.
Once you have completed the above, please use our Contact us form to get in touch.
Your items may potentially be delivered by more than one driver, so don’t worry if you don’t receive everything together in the first delivery – the rest is on its way!
Please check to see if the contents are damaged. If they are, please contact us by email with details of your order, and any images or videos of the damage, and we’ll get back to you as soon as possible with a resolution.
We apologise – this shouldn’t happen. Please contact us by email and include clear images of the incorrect item you received and the barcode from the packaging for our reference. This will allow us to resolve the issue faster.
RTS (Returned To Sender) occurs when the courier has made at least 2 attempts at delivery, the item(s) have been held in the local depot for 2 days from the date of the second delivery attempt, and the recipient has not attempted to make alternative arrangements with the courier within this time frame.
If your item has been RTS, re-delivery charges will apply.
Please contact us by email to rearrange delivery.
If a delivery is missed or cancelled, unfortunately there would be additional charges to redeliver the item(s). This starts from £25.00 per delivery.
**The free delivery on furniture only applies for attempted delivery once. Any delivery that fails will incur failed delivery charges **
