Last Updated: 24 August 2026
At Barking Road Furniture (barkingroadfurniture.com), we want our customers to shop with confidence. Our range includes Living Room Furniture, Kitchen Furniture, Outdoor & Patio Furniture, Lighting, Baby & Kids Furniture, Patio Dining Chairs, and Accent Stools.
This policy explains how returns, cancellations and refunds are handled for purchases made through our website, in compliance with UK consumer law.
1. Statutory Right to Cancel (Cooling-off Period)
Under the UK Consumer Contracts Regulations, you have the right to cancel your order within 14 days of receiving the goods without giving any reason (for distance sales).
-
The cancellation period ends 14 days after the day you (or a person you nominate) receive the goods.
-
You must notify us of your decision to cancel within this 14-day period.
-
You then have a further 14 days to return the goods to us.
This statutory right is in addition to our voluntary 14-day returns policy (see Section 2).
2. 14-Day Voluntary Returns
In addition to your statutory rights, we offer a 14-day return period for eligible furniture purchases.
-
You may request a return within 14 days of receiving your order.
-
This applies to both change-of-mind returns and returns due to other non-fault reasons.
-
Our 14-day return policy does not affect your statutory consumer rights.
3. Conditions for Return
To be eligible for a return (whether under statutory rights or our voluntary policy), the furniture must meet the following conditions:
-
Unused and in the same condition as received.
-
In its original packaging and in a resalable condition.
-
Not assembled — furniture that has been assembled cannot be returned unless faulty.
-
All accessories and instructions must be complete.
Important for furniture: As furniture is often large and bulky, you must take reasonable care of the item while it is in your possession. You may inspect the furniture in a reasonable manner (as you would in a shop), but if the value has been reduced due to handling beyond what is necessary to inspect its condition, the refund may be adjusted where permitted by law.
4. Return Costs
4.1 Returns for Faulty, Damaged or Incorrect Items
If the return is necessary because of an error on our part (incorrect item sent, faulty goods, or damage upon delivery), we will cover the full cost of return transportation and issue a full refund.
This includes:
-
Incorrect item dispatched
-
Faulty or defective furniture
-
Damage sustained during transit (e.g., scratches, dents, breakage)
-
Items not as described
4.2 Returns for Change of Mind (Non-Fault)
If you are returning furniture for personal reasons (change of mind, doesn't fit your space, etc.):
-
You are responsible for the return transportation costs.
-
We will arrange collection and deduct the cost from your refund, or you may arrange your own return with a specialist furniture courier.
-
Furniture that has been assembled cannot be returned for change of mind.
Important: Under UK law, for non-fault returns, the cost of returning the goods is normally borne by the consumer. We clearly communicate this cost structure to you.
5. Items Not Accepted for Return
The following items are not eligible for return or refund:
-
Items returned after the 14-day cancellation period or the 14-day voluntary return period (where applicable)
-
Assembled furniture (unless faulty)
-
Items that have been used, damaged, or altered (beyond reasonable inspection)
-
Items missing accessories or instructions
-
Items specifically made to your specifications or clearly personalised (bespoke furniture)

For larger furniture items (e.g., sofas, tables, wardrobes):
-
We will arrange collection rather than requiring you to post the item.
-
You are responsible for ensuring the item is securely packaged and ready for collection.
-
If the item is not accessible for collection (e.g., narrow staircases), additional charges may apply.
-
Collection charges may apply for non-fault returns.
Please note: Large furniture items cannot be returned if they have been assembled, unless faulty.
8. Refund Timeline
Once we receive the returned furniture (or complete the collection), we will inspect it to confirm it meets the return conditions.
-
Refund processing time: We aim to process your refund within 3 business days of receiving the returned goods. In all cases, we will process your refund within 14 days as required by UK law.
-
Refund method: Refunds will be made to the original payment method used for your purchase (VISA or Mastercard).

Important: Your statutory rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 are not affected by this policy. Goods must be as described, fit for purpose, and of satisfactory quality.

If your order has not yet been processed and dispatched, you can request cancellation:
-
