You will have the option to opt out of emails in any of the email correspondence sent to you.
Where a credit account is offered, our payment terms are strictly 30 days from the date of Invoice/dispatch, not from the date you receive the goods. After the 30 days all Invoices will become due for payment. Any accounts that are over this time frame will be put ion Stop Credit.

Should the account continually be in arrears, we reserve the right to cancel the credit account and transfer this to a Pro-forma account, where payment will be required prior to any orders being dispatched or processed. If payment is not received by 45 days from date of Invoice, we may at our discretion send this to a debt collection agency. In this event, interest and additional charges may be applied to the outstanding debt on a pro-rata basis and may result in cancellation of the credit account facility.
Notwithstanding that the goods shall in whole or in part be at risk of the customer the property and the goods shall remain with the Company until they have been paid for by the purchaser.
In the case of the customer being declared insolvent, the Company may enter the premises of the customer and remove the goods supplied by the Company for which payment has not been made in full.
We do accept Visa/Mastercard Credit Card payments; however these will attract a 2% surcharge. We do not accept Amex or American Express cards.
We offer free delivery to Melbourne Metro; stores, warehouses or carriers for all orders over $500 + GST. Orders under this value may attract a separate delivery charge, and/or your order may be held until the above order value has been reached.
We aim to deliver all qualifying orders within 7-10 business days to a Melbourne Metro; store, warehouse or carrier.
Carriage of goods is the responsibility of the customer even though title may not have been passed from the company. This should include the appropriate carrier Insurance required to cover any transit damages.
Any shortages must be notified to us within 24 hours of receiving your delivery. After this time we cannot accept liability for any short deliveries or missing items. Please ensure that all cartons are checked off accurately against our provided delivery note, and that all part numbers on the cartons match the delivery note.
Your customer must report any damages or shortages to you within 24 hours of receipt of the goods. We cannot accept damage or shortage claims after this time period. You must inform your customer of this requirement.
As a specialist retailer of furniture, we expect you to provide the "first line of service" with all CSR and warranty claims. Basic issues must be solved and professional advice must be provided by you the retailer on our behalf.
When a delivery is made to your store or warehouse, it is your responsibility to check the delivered items product codes against the goods received. Any incorrect items, shortages etc must be notified to us immediately. Please note that it is the retailer’s responsibility to check that the correct product has been received. We accept no responsibility or costs for the incorrect product being supplied to your customer.
We cannot accept customer service reports (CSR) for transit damaged Items. All of our Items are Inspected at the factory and prior to dispatch from our warehouse. Any transit damage must be reported to your carrier and a claim filed directly with your carrier.
Your selected carrier:
These must be a Professional Furniture Carrier. They must inspect the cartons on delivery from us. We advise that you fully unwrap & inspect the item(s) on delivery to you, and inform us within 24 hours of receipt of any transit damage issues - this includes noticeable damage to the cartons, such as crushed corners, large holes etc (not minor handling and transit marks etc) In our experience this reduces the chance for damage or fault claims against you, and also puts the onus onto any 3rd Party Carrier to deliver in the same condition it leaves your premises.
We will accept CSRs for all warranty related claims in accordance with our terms and allowing for but not withstanding normal wear and tear on the unit.
In all cases, for us to consider any CSR claims, the end user must contact you in writing within 24 hours to report any loss or damages. We will require to see a copy of this and supporting Images before we can investigate the issue further to ascertain if it is a valid CSR claim or not. Claims made for damage or loss after this time frame will not be accepted.
CSR Claim Requirements
For all Customer Service Reports regarding damaged goods or warranty claims we will require the following information for our assessment of the CSR and for Quality Control purposes.
We will reject any claim if this information is not provided.
- Original PO Number or Bradshaw Australia Invoice Number.
- Product Details,
- Date & details of delivery (Did store deliver and install/deliver only?)
- Date when customer reported the issue,
- Clear Images and description of damaged goods (Please note that breakages to goods that have been assembled will not be covered under CSR's)
We cannot accept liability for transit damage where the carrier has been employed and nominated by you. We advise that adequate transit insurance is put in place to avoid incurring additional costs.
We suggest all our customers visually inspect any items prior to being delivered to their customer. This will help to avoid any unwanted carrier & labour costs. In our experience this reduces the chance for damage or fault claims against you, and puts the ownness onto any third-party carrier to deliver in the same condition it leaves your premises.
All CSR claim products that are returned to us must meet with and match the description of the fault(s) provided on the CSR. If there are additional damages or faults when we receive the Item(s), we will not issue a credit for the Item(s), or we may reduce the amount to be credited accordingly. This will be judged on a case-by-case basis. No exceptions.
Please note that we cannot and do not ship to, or deal with your customer at any time. Any replacement parts or products will be delivered to our customers Invoice address only.
We are not liable, nor do we accept liability for any carriage costs where a faulty or transit damaged item has to be collected and re-delivered to your customer either by your company or a third-party carrier. Our product warranty covers replacement items or replacement item parts only subject to our CSR policy and terms and conditions. Each individual case will be dealt with individually and on its merit. We do not deal with end users, as such we insist that all communications are limited between you (our customer) and ourselves, and you (our customer) and your end user customer. We will not communicate with your customer on your behalf.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION WITH REGARDS TO CSR DAMGES AND OUT OF THE BOX WARRANTY CLAIMS
Retaining Packaging ~ Please request that your customers retain the packaging until they have fully inspected the item, or if you offer an unwrap service, please do not take the packaging away until the customer has fully inspected the item. The packaging will be needed for safe shipment of the item back to us, as well as us needing the PURCHASE ORDER (Batch) NUMBER from the box (Not to be confused with your own Purchase Order Number).
We do not allow damaged goods to be left with the customer and used until the replacement is received. Not only are we not always receiving our damaged goods back, but this can be a potential health and safety issue for the customer (depending on the type of product and damage) It is more efficient for the carrier to collect the damaged item at the same time as delivering the new item to you. (Exceptions will be made to essential beds, but they must be safe for assembly). We can also deal with CSRs much quicker if we know that the damaged item is ready to be exchanged.
Unpacking the item(s)
Please Note: When unpacking our items, care must be taken to NOT destroy the packaging. The original packaging will be required to return any faulty or damaged items - Especially mirrored or glass products. We recommend the best way to unpack large items such as Bedside Tables, Tallboys, Low chests/Dressers, Beds, etc is as per the following:
- Lay the box down on its side. Any handles etc must face towards the celling, so the rear of the unit is on its back.
- Open the bottom of the box and remove any packaging located there.
- Slide/Pull the product out by the bottom of the unit if the surface is carpeted. If not, then place blankets on the floor so that the unit does not get damaged, nor does the floor.
- Stand the unit upright.
- Remove any additional packaging and inspect the unit. Should there be any issues or damage, take clear images of the entire unit and close up images of the unit, clealy showing the issue(s). Then replace the packaging and put the unit back into the box the same way it was removed.
- Seal the box and then return to the store/Warehouse.
- If the goods are delivered by a professional installation team, under no circumstances should a damaged or faulty product be left with the customer. It must be repackaged and returned to the store/warehouse. In the case of any furniture, and especially mirrored or glass furniture, leaving damaged or broken products could constitute a health and safety hazard. We will accept no responsibility for any harm or injury to any person should broken or damaged goods be left with the customer.
- If the customer is installing the product(s) the same process as per the Professional installation team applies, except the customer MUST take images of any issues, and report these issues to the store within 24 hours of receiving the goods.

REQUESTING REPLACMENTS - We do not allow damaged goods to be left with the customer and used until the replacement is received.

We can also deal with CSRs much quicker if we know that the damaged item is ready to be exchanged.
RETAINING PACKAGING ~ You must stipulate that your customers retain the packaging until they have fully inspected the item, or if you offer an unwrap service, please do not take the packaging away until the customer has fully inspected the item. The packaging will be needed for safe shipment of the item back to us, as well as us needing the BATCH NUMBER from the box (Not to be confused with your own Purchase Order Number). Destroying the packaging also indicates to us that the goods have been received in good condition, and forms part of our assessment.
PROFESSIONALLY DELIVERED & INSTALLED ITEMS – At the point of delivery and installation, if an issue is found, under no circumstances should a damaged or faulty product be left with the customer. It must be repackaged and returned to the store/warehouse. In the case of any furniture, and especially mirrored or glass furniture, leaving damaged or broken products could constitute a health and safety hazard. We will accept no responsibility for any harm or injury to any person should broken or damaged goods be left with the customer, nor will we credit the item if further damage is sustained whilst being used by the customer.
DELIVERY ONLY TO YOUR CUSTOMER - If the customer is installing the product(s) the same process as per the Professional Installation team applies, except the customer MUST take images of any issues, and report these issues to the store within 24 hours of receiving the goods.
