We at Michael Murphy Home Furnishing want to ensure that your shopping experience with us both online and in-store is as user friendly as possible. We have set out below our terms and conditions of purchase using a list of useful headings.

We have designed our website to ensure that your online shopping experience is both easy to navigate and user friendly. We welcome any feedback you might have with regard to our website.

It is important that you take a few moments to check your order, paying particular attention to the following details.
1. Your full contact details, delivery address and any special instructions have been noted correctly.
2. If you have requested an additional service, e.g. removal of old furniture and it is not on your sales order, please contact your sales advisor to have it added.
3. Ensure the item will fit into your room. It can be easy to misjudge sizes so please ensure that you have the correct room measurements. We provide measurements for our products where possible.
4. Please consider whether there is adequate access to your property and through your property for the item being delivered. A re-stocking charge of 25% of the item’s value will apply where adequate access is not available when goods are delivered and a credit note will then be issued for the outstanding value.

Your payment terms are outlined on the front of your sales order. Full payment must be made in order to schedule delivery. We do not accept cash on delivery. Payments made by cheque will require 10 working days clearance before delivery. We do not accept payments made over the phone by credit or debit cards unless the card has been used in the store previously.

We do not offer refunds or exchanges on furniture unless the product is deemed faulty or damaged. Once your order has been placed and the item specifically reserved by you with payment of a deposit, the order cannot be cancelled and deposits or part-payments made are non-refundable.   We do offer a refund on giftware, bed linen*, rugs, lighting, pictures & mirrors, cushions & throws.  A refund will only be provided on these items if they are returned to us within 7 days of purchase with a valid receipt, in merchantable condition and in its original packaging.  We will offer an exchange on these items if they are returned to us in-store within 30 days from the date of the original purchase with a valid receipt, in merchantable condition and in its original packaging.  *Please note that bed linen products cannot be exchanged or refunded for hygiene purposes unless the product remains unused and is in its original sealed packaging. For products which are faulty or damaged, please notify us as soon as possible following delivery and no later than 3 days after the fault or damage has been identified by you. Our sales team will discuss with you the most appropriate means of redress in the circumstances. Each case will be dealt with on an individual basis. *NOTE: Unfortunately for hygiene reasons mattresses, pillows and mattresses toppers cannot be returned if removed from their original packaging. Unless faulty, we cannot accept returns on custom furniture orders.

A delivery date will be confirmed once the final payment has been received. If the item is not in stock on the date of purchase we will provide you with an approximate lead time for the arrival of your order to our warehouse. Once the goods arrive at our warehouse you will receive notification and upon payment of any outstanding balance a delivery date will be scheduled for you. We are dependent on the advice of our suppliers when quoting lead times to you but where there is any undue delay in receiving your order, your sales advisor will advise you of this. Please note a specific time cannot be provided for deliveries, however, on the morning of your scheduled delivery, our driver will contact you within two hours of the expected delivery time.

Please note the following:
a) If our driver cannot make contact with you on the date of the delivery on the number provided to us or fails to gain access to your delivery address on the date of delivery then your delivery will be re-scheduled for the next available day.  A re-delivery charge of €50 will apply which must be paid before your re-scheduled delivery.
b) Our delivery team will deliver to the door of your premises. If requested, our delivery team will place items inside your premises. If our delivery team feel that there is an access issue, a waiver will need to be signed by the customer before the delivery team can proceed. Please note we do not accept responsibility for any damage whatsoever caused to your premises or possessions within. On the day of delivery, please ensure that the delivery team can gain easy access to the room that the furniture is going into. Please make sure that the area you want the furniture placed is cleared.
c) You will not be liable for any damage to goods existing at the time of delivery, therefore, to make sure you are completely satisfied with your furniture the delivery team will ask you to sign for your furniture after it has been installed. Goods must be accepted by and signed for by an adult over the age of 18 years. We will endeavour to repair or replace a damaged item within 7 days for stock items. For non-stock items, a longer lead time will apply.

We make every effort to deliver goods within estimated time scales. Our standard time scale is approximately 30 days. Delays can occasionally occur due to unforeseen factors of which you will be advised.   We shall not be held liable for any delay or failure to deliver the products within any time scales provided. A delivery cannot be cancelled on the day of delivery as our delivery trucks are loaded the evening before the scheduled delivery. You must advise us of any cancellation at least 5 working days prior to the scheduled delivery date. A cancellation of the delivery date outside this time period will lead to a re-delivery charge.

At the time of order placement, it is the responsibility of you (the buyer) to advise us of any access difficulties that may arise when delivering to your property.  Examples include but are not limited to notifying us of narrow walkways, parking restrictions, narrow doors or hallways and number of flights of stairs (if more than 1).  The pathway from point of delivery vehicle parking to the room the product is being placed in must be clear of all and any slip, trip and fall hazards.  Where we cannot complete the delivery due to issues arising a second delivery fee will be charged.

As part of our assembly and removal service, we take away all unwanted packaging belonging to the item for recycling. If you have purchased a new mattress for delivery, our delivery team can remove /disassemble your old mattress, divan or bed frame for recycling for an additional charge.  Please contact your sales advisor for further information on our charges and conditions for removal of old items. Should you require your old furniture to be removed, other than the aforementioned items, please advise your sales advisor prior to delivery and you will be informed of our charges. All removal and disassembly charges must be paid for in advance of delivery. Once delivery and/or assembly has been completed you should inspect goods to ensure your complete satisfaction. Upon completion of the delivery, you will be asked to sign a delivery docket confirming receipt of goods.

We can arrange some smaller items for in-store collection. Please talk to one of our Sales Advisors about this service. Please note we offer a collection service from our Central Warehouse in Newbridge on Saturdays only.

We will store your goods for up to 28 days if requested provided full payment is made at point of sale. All clearance and display items must be collected within 7 working days. On the expiry of these dates please note a weekly storage charge of 5% of the value of your order will apply.

Rooms must be clear of furniture and old floor coverings prior to the fitter’s arrival time unless arrangements are made with the fitter in advance. An additional charge may apply for this work. Failure to clear rooms prior to fitting may result in delays and/or the inability to carry out the work at the appointed time and we do not accept any liability for such delays. Please inform your sales advisor and the fitter if your floor is not of standard wood or concrete construction, or if there are pipes/cables fitted close to the floor surface. No liability will be accepted by us unless such hazards are brought to the fitter’s attention prior to fitting. Fitters undertake to carry out their work with reasonable care and skill but even with the greatest care, the home decor may be marked or scuffed during the fitting process. New wallpaper and paintwork should be allowed to fully dry and harden prior to fitting; a minimum of one week is recommended. Doors may need to be trimmed to allow clearance. This is not part of the fitting work unless it has been specifically agreed in advance. This is specialised carpentry work which fitters are unable to undertake. In the event that the doors do not have sufficient clearance for the carpet, the fitters may remove the doors to allow fitting and leave the doors ready for your appointed carpenter to carry out the trimming.
