Terms & Conditions

Naturally we would love to answer your questions fully, so if you have anything you want to ask us or are unsure about, simply contact us. However, to save you time, we have listed the most common questions we get asked below:

1. Payments 

Payment for all products ordered via the website can be made online. We accept most major credit cards including Visa, Mastercard, Solo, Switch, Maestro and JCB through our website. Payment will not be taken from your card until the goods are ready to be shipped out to you. 

2. Deliveries 

Charge  £4.95  -  All Giftware and Accessories  orders are dispatched using an external courier.  In most cases orders are dispatched on the next working day and should arrive within 3 working days.  This price is per consignment not per item. 

Charge  £10  -  Smaller Items of Furniture   we also use a courier for these deliveries.  The charge for this is £10 and the order should reach you within 3 working days. 

Charge  £30  -  Larger Items of Furniture and Mirrors  these items are delivered by ourselves using our own delivery vehicles.  As you can imagine, we can’t be in all parts of the UK every week, so the delivery time for these items may be up to 4 weeks.  However, this is a maximum time and delivery may be much quicker.  When we receive your order we will contact you to give you a delivery schedule. 

Outlying Areas of the UK  unfortunately our couriers charge us a premium to deliver to parts of northern Scotland and the offshore islands of the UK.  We have to pass at least some of this cost on to our customers.  Charges for :  Highlands of Scotland, The Grampian Region, Northern Ireland and all Offshore islands of the UK, are as follows : 

Giftware and Accessories : £9.00  per consignment
Smaller Items of Furniture: £14.00
Larger Items of Furniture: £38.00 

As we cannot reach these areas with our own lorries, we use couriers for all orders.  Unfortunately we cannot send mirrors by courier as experience has taught us that this usually ends in disaster! 

Our furniture delivery team will telephone you on receipt of your order to arrange delivery.  Deliveries will generally be made from Monday to Friday.  Unfortunately we cannot delivery on a Saturday.  We will, however, endeavour to be as flexible as possible in order to fit in with your agenda.

2.1. Delivery Charges

All giftware and accessory items are charged at £4.95 per consignment. 

Items of furniture are charged at either £10 or £30 depending on the size and weight of the item.  Your basket will tell you which charge applies when you proceed to the checkout.

Most orders are dispatched on the next working day and will arrive within 3 working days.  Larger items of furniture, mirrors and other very breakable items are delivered on our own lorries.  We guarantee delivery within 4 weeks but in many cases the delivery time will be much shorter than this.

2.2. Returns

All orders are checked before leaving our warehouse and sent out in perfect condition.  Occasionally however goods are damaged in transit.  We ask that you check your goods as soon as they arrive and if you are not happy then telephone or email us within 48 hours. We will then guarantee to replace your goods.

4. Product Disclaimer 

All products on our website are hand crafted by our suppliers in Java, Lombok, Bali and India using traditional methods. Minor variations or irregularities are characteristic of these handcrafted origins and occasionally there is deviation in colour and grain of wood. This is part of the finish and testimony to the uniqueness of each piece. Our wood is dried by our suppliers in their own kiln to what should be considered acceptable moisture content for a solid wood product in this price region. Wood is a natural fibre and as such can never be guaranteed. However it is extremely rare that the structural integrity of the item is compromised.

If you experience any wood reaction in your product this can usually be remedied although we feel that this naturally occurring flaw actually enhances the character of each product. Any splits or cracks can be filled with dark furniture wax or simple application of sandpaper, stain and wax will rectify many irregularities. At Sassak we make every effort to reduce such instances, but by the very nature of the product complete elimination is impossible. Should you have any genuine problems with your product please get in touch and we will make every effort to make a replacement or credit you.

Our furniture / crafts are of ethnic origin and being timber based products they may be subject to moisture movement over a period of time as a result of climatic differences between Indonesia and the UK.
