Terms and Conditions of Sale.

Home Basics is a registered Scottish Charity dealing in the re-use of used household items and furniture.

It is the customer responsibility to fully inspect an item prior to purchase to ensure that it is suitable for their purpose. No refunds will be provided for goods returned due to their condition at the time of sale.

2. It is the customer responsibility to ensure that items of furniture can fit into their property and that our drivers have sufficient access to the property. Customers must check the dimensions of internal and external access point including doors, corridors, stairs, lifts and corners. Our drivers will make every reasonable effort to deliver an item to where the customer requests. If we are unable to deliver an item due to restricted access, we will offer a refund. Delivery fees are not refundable and you will be charged a re-stocking fee (equivalent to the delivery charge) for returning the item/s to our store.
