Once your order is on its way, our delivery partner will keep you posted, let you confirm or change your delivery date, and send tracking details on the day.

From Order to Delivery: What Happens Next?
Place your order
Choose your sofa and complete your order online. If the sofa is in stock, the delivery process can start straight away.
Your order is dispatched
Your order usually leaves our warehouse the same day or the next working day. We'll send a dispatch confirmation with tracking details.
Book your delivery
Within 2 working days, our delivery partner will text you with a suggested delivery slot. Simply reply to confirm the date.
Need another date
If the suggested slot doesn't work, reply to the message to request an alternative. Preferred dates can be requested, and weekend slots can be arranged too.
Get ready for arrival
The day before delivery, you'll receive confirmation of your delivery date and time slot so you can plan ahead.
Pro tip: Measure the room your sofa will sit in and every access point along the route in, including your front door, internal doorways, hallways, stairs and tight turns. Compare those measurements against the dimensions of your chosen 2 seater, 3 seater, corner sofa or set.
What to Expect on Delivery Day
Track your delivery
Use the tracking link sent by the courier to follow your delivery on the day.
Get a courtesy call
The drivers will call approximately 30 minutes before they arrive.
Clear the route
Make sure there is a clear path from the entrance to the room where your furniture is going.
Show us the room
Point the team to the room you want, and they'll take it from there.
Check everything
Give the sofa a look over while the drivers are still with you, so you can flag anything straight away if it's not right.
Delivered to Your Room of Choice
Big furniture shouldn't mean moving it yourself. Our experienced two-person delivery teams are trained to handle sofas carefully, manoeuvring them through your home and putting each one exactly where you asked for it. To help everything go smoothly, clear the access route before arrival and let us know in advance about tight turns, restricted parking or anything unusual. Then leave the heavy lifting to us.
Assembly service: Prefer us to put it together too? Assembly can be added for £80, and our team will take away and dispose of all the packaging before they leave.

Sofa Delivery FAQs
How does sofa delivery work?
Your order typically leaves our warehouse same day or the next working day, and you'll get a dispatch confirmation with tracking details straight away. From there, our delivery partner is in touch within 2 working days to arrange a slot that suits you.
Can I choose my delivery date?
Yes. In most cases, you can request a preferred delivery date. Giving the delivery partner as much notice as possible gives them the best chance of accommodating your request, although available dates will depend on your location and the courier's schedule.
Can I have a weekend delivery?
Yes, weekend delivery is available in most postcode areas. Availability depends on your location and the courier's schedule, so the exact options offered to you will be confirmed when the delivery partner contacts you to arrange your slot.
Will my sofa be delivered into my home?
Yes. We offer free delivery straight into your home. Our two-person team will carry your sofa in and set it down in the room you choose, so you don't need to lift a large piece of furniture yourself.
Can I add an assembly service?
Yes. If you would prefer your sofa fully assembled and ready to use on delivery, our team can put it together for an additional £80.
Can you remove my old sofa?
Yes. We offer an old sofa removal service for an additional £80.
Will the delivery team take away the packaging?
Packaging removal is not included with our standard free delivery service. If you have added our assembly service, though, the delivery team will remove and dispose of all the packaging before they leave.
How will I know when my sofa is arriving?
The courier will confirm your delivery date and time slot by text message the day before. On delivery day, you can track your order using the link provided, and the drivers will give you a courtesy call approximately 30 minutes before arrival.
Do you deliver throughout the UK, and is there a cost?
We offer free delivery to mainland UK addresses. If you live in a remote postcode or outside mainland UK, please contact us before ordering and our team will confirm whether we can deliver to your address, and let you know if any additional charge applies.
How fast can you deliver?
In-stock sofas can be delivered within 5 days. Around 95% of our range is in stock at any time, so there's usually a good choice if you need something quickly. Any longer lead time will be listed on the relevant product page.
How do I measure a door for sofa delivery?
Measure the width and height of the narrowest doorway your sofa must pass through, then check hallways, stairs and tight turns along the full route to the room. Compare those measurements with the dimensions of your chosen sofa before ordering.
What happens if my sofa will not fit through the door?
Our sofas are designed to fit through most standard doorways and are delivered in sections where possible to make access easier. If the sofa still cannot be delivered into your home, the delivery team will return it to us and we'll arrange a full refund.
How can I track my order?
You'll receive tracking details once your order has been dispatched. The courier will also send delivery updates by text, and on delivery day you can use the tracking link provided to follow the progress of your delivery.
Can I reschedule my delivery if the date is not convenient?
Yes. If the suggested delivery date does not work for you, reply to the courier's text message and request an alternative. We recommend doing this as early as possible, since available dates will depend on where you live.
What happens if I miss my delivery?
If you have confirmed a delivery slot but are not available when the courier arrives, a £80 redelivery charge will apply before a new date can be arranged.
I ordered multiple pieces of furniture. Will they all arrive at the same time?
Delivery arrangements for multiple items may vary. If you need all pieces delivered at the same time, contact our team before delivery and we will confirm what can be arranged.
Will my furniture arrive assembled or flat-packed?
Most sofas are designed for quick and straightforward assembly, with many taking only a few minutes to put together. If you would prefer the delivery team to assemble your furniture for you, an assembly service is available for an additional £80.
Can I return my sofa after it has been delivered?
Yes. We offer a 14-day money-back guarantee for unused items returned in their original packaging (the collection fee of £199 will be deducted from your refund). Returns may also be accepted up to 100 days, subject to the conditions in our Return Policy. Contact our customer service team to arrange a return.
Can I cancel a furniture order before delivery?
Yes. You can cancel or amend your order before it has been dispatched. Once it is out for delivery, cancellation may not be possible, so please contact our customer service team as soon as possible if you need to make a change.
Are you supposed to tip furniture delivery people?
There is no requirement to tip the delivery team. If you feel the team has provided great service and you would like to leave a tip, that is entirely your choice.
Where can I buy a sofa with quick delivery?
Furniture Direct Online stocks a wide range of sofas for quick delivery across mainland UK, with 95% held in stock and most arriving within 5 days.
