In order to arrange a return, simply contact us within 7 days of receiving your goods and we can confirm the next steps for you. Our team at Tulip Interiors is available 7 days a week.

If you are not delighted with the products that you have chosen or if you need to return them for any reason, you can do within 7 days of receipt. We will be more than happy to offer you an exchange or a refund excluding the original cost of delivery, provided that the products are returned complete, in perfect condition, unused, unwashed and with the original packaging.
This 7 day guarantee doesn't apply to non-standard, customized or special order products [see more on this below] nor to cut by the meter wallpaper or fabric.
Additionally The United Kingdom's Distance Selling Regulations 2000 provide you with a right to cancel your order or products at any time up to the end of the seventh working day following the day after the day on which you received the products. You do not need to give us any reason for cancellation under this legislation and you also have the right to receive a refund in full, excluding any associated delivery charges if you return within these timescales. The right to cancel can be exercised in writing or in another durable medium.
How do I return goods?
Under our 7 day guarantee, please contact us within 7 days of receiving the goods by email to customerservice@tulipinterior.co.uk or call us on +44 (0)203 904 6888 to inform us of your intention to return.
You will then be given a Returns Authorization Number to write on the delivery note. Make sure you include this within the returns parcel for speedy processing on return to our UK warehouse so that your refund can be applied as soon as possible to your original method of payment. Tulip Interiors will credit the price paid for the goods in full within 30 working days of receiving them.
Please then return the goods in perfect condition, unused, unwashed and with the original packaging intact to allow the goods to be re-stocked, where the original packaging has been disposed of, the returned item will be subject to a 50% re-stocking fee of the original price, as they cannot be sold as new. It is important for your own security that you obtain proof of posting as, under our 7 day returns policy we cannot accept responsibility for goods that are lost or damaged in transit back to the warehouse, unless we are bringing them back. You are able to return these goods / cancel the order for a refund excluding the original cost of delivery, in such cases we charge 100% of all delivery costs incurred.
The address for returns is:
Tulip Interiors Returns Department
Block I Unit 5 Peek Business Centre
Woodside, Dunmow Road

If you are returning furniture, sofas, chairs, mirrors & rugs from within the UK, our returns policy is even easier - when notifying us by e-mail of the request to return the item, request a quotation for the collection.
Simply email us at customerservice@tulipinterior.co.uk or call us on +44 (0)203 904 6888 to inform us of your intention to return and we'll do the rest.
Our returns policy does not affect your legal and statutory consumer rights.
Can't you collect the goods from me?
That is not a problem - if your return is not sofas, chairs, mirrors & rugs we can still make things easy for you and organize a collection. The cost of this can be charged to your account and will deducted from any refund due. If you wish this option, let us know and we will contact you to arrange everything for you and confirm your courier options and cost of collection.
What about returning/ordering non-standard, customized or special order products?
Non-standard, customized or special order products (e.g. large furniture items, headboards, sofas, chairs in your own choice of fabric and size) or goods that have been confirmed to you as non-standard, customized or special order, cannot be covered by our returns Policy or 7 day money back guarantee unless faulty.
You are able to return these goods / cancel the order for a refund, however in such cases we charge a cancellation fee of 50% of the order price as well as 100% of all delivery costs incurred.
This is because these pieces are made to order, under your instruction and it is unlikely that we can sell them to another customer at full price, therefore the goods cannot be re-stocked.
We want you to be delighted with your orders from Tulip Interiors, so here's some advice from our Designers to consider:
Before you place your order, check the following:
- Compatibility with all your other furnishings
- Fitness for purpose
- Your dimensions are correct and the product will fit where it is intended
- The delivery address can receive the product - be sure of access, check dimensions, make sure it fits though all doorways, stairwells and any other access routes necessary.
By placing an order for a non-standard, customized or special order product with us, you are deemed to have considered all these factors and any others that might affect the order, and accept that you are entirely satisfied that it is the correct product for you. You will not be able to change the order once the item has been entered into production.
When you receive goods that require assembly, prior to installing, it is very important that you check the instructions and any parts listed to ensure that you have all the relevant parts and that you can fit the product in strict accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. We cannot refund products that have been wrongly fitted or be responsible for any consequences of mis-fitting our products. We strongly recommend that you employ only qualified and experienced joiners and electricians to install our products.
If the product is found to be damaged or faulty then our standard returns policy in relation to damaged or faulty goods will apply.
What happens if my goods arrive damaged or faulty?
In the event that you receive your order in a faulty or damaged condition, [including customised products] please contact us within 48 hours by email at customerservice@tulipinterior.co.uk or phone us on +44 (0)203 904 6888 and we will make the necessary arrangements to collect the damaged/faulty goods.
We will ask you to email a photograph of the damage and complete a short questionnaire as part of our quality assurance checks.
Please note it is critical that you keep all the original packaging and repack the item with care. Our courier will make the collection, and upon inspection at our warehouse, a refund, or replacement sent at our expense, will be arranged.
Any refunds for damaged or faulty goods [including customised products] where a replacement is not an option, will be processed with 14 / 21 days or receipt of the damaged or faulty goods.
Do you comply with the WEEE Regulations?
The Waste Electrical or Electronic Equipment Directive requires countries to maximize separate collection and environmentally friendly process of waste electrical goods. Unwanted electrical equipment is the UK’s fastest growing type of waste and sending it to landfill causes lead and other toxins to leak into the soil and atmosphere, causing water contamination harming wildlife and human health.
Since 1 July 2007, the UK’s Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Regulations allow members of the public to deposit old electrical and electronic items at recycling sites across the UK, free of charge. Fortunately much of the electrical and electronic equipment we use can be recycled to make new products. Look for information on new products that now carry the crossed wheelie bin symbol to identify recycling possibilities - remember that you can recycle your equipment without buying new equipment.
In striving to do what we can to protect our environment, we would encourage you to find your nearest recycling sites by contacting your local council, or visiting www.recycle-more.co.uk and type your postcode into the recycling bank locator to find your nearest recycling bank for WEEE.
The WEEE regulations do not give you entitlement to free collection of WEEE from your home, however if you purchase an electrical item from Tulip Interiors please feel free to contact us for advice on how to dispose of your item safely. Alternatively we can arrange for collection of your old like for like item. This will incur a charge of £9.99 but we will recycle the item free of charge.
This charge covers the collection and return to Tulip Interiors of your old appliance via the courier network. Appliance recycling must be arranged with our customer service team when you place your order.
In the spirit of saving energy and emissions however, we would always encourage you to recycle locally where possible.
