Quality Mattresses And Beds - 10 Essential Things To Know When Buying Outside The Uk

The reputation of the best British Bed and Mattress manufacturers is admired the world over

. Although many people travel to the UK especially to secure one of the best and most comfortable beds in the world at prices considerably below the price paid for lower-quality products outside the UK, it is possible to purchase one of these from a specialist worldwide export retailer for delivery to your home anywhere in the World.

Buying such a large item over the internet needn't deter people, because there are such attractive savings to be made and, of course, the products are so hard to find outside of the UK.

Selecting the right type of company to deal with is essential to ensure a memorably satisfactory experience. Track record, years of experience and personalised supervision from factory to bedroom are of the utmost importance.

So, what vital ingredients are essential in ensuring that your luxury bed and mattress is delivered into your bedroom with you only making the minimum number of calls or emails?

Here is the list of questions and considerations so you know exactly what to look for.

1. Does the retailer have the support of the manufacturers for supplying and delivering their goods abroad? Anyone can send a bed abroad. But does the manufacturer know and have the backing of the retailer doing so? Special attention is needed on the maker's part if a bed is to be sent abroad. A specialist bed exporter will have the support of and be recommended by the manufacturer.

2. Does the retailer have experience of advising and helping you online and over the phone? And will he happily call you each and every time you need to speak to him? To reach the level of confidence and trust at which you are happy to hand over money to someone you've never met and possibly never will, you need to be sure of their background, their ability to answer all of your questions to your complete satisfaction, and just "feel" that it's right. Your retailer needs to be willing to spend as much time as it takes to help and advise you and gain your trust and respect before you place your order - and, of course, be available to voice your concerns to, after you have done so. If in doubt - "leave it out"; or voice your worries frankly to the retailer to see what reaction you get. But at the very least, ask the manufacturer what they think of the retailer to ensure he is bona fides and working with the manufacturer to make the products available to you wherever you are in the World.

3. Are the goods made especially for you OR sold from warehouse stock? With a high-quality item such as a traditional pocket-sprung British bed or mattress you don't want it picked from stock that has been unsold and possibly stored upright or on its edge for months. As long as you don't need the item immediately, a specialist retailer will work with the manufacturer to ensure that your bed or mattress is made especially for you and delivered as soon as possible afterwards.

4. Are the goods double checked at the factory prior to wrapping? Because the goods are being sent abroad it's essential that a full quality check is made before they are specially wrapped for the journey. A company that has the expertise and experience in delivering beds and mattresses the world over will provide this service as part of the quoted price. Some of the best companies offer a signed-off VIP check at supervisory or managerial level prior to the goods leaving the factory.

5. Is your bed or mattress being especially export-wrapped? Export wrapping is essential for extra protection in transit. The wrapping and protection consists of various measures from double-wrapping to full crating which to protect the bed or mattress during its journey from factory to your bedroom.

6. Check whether the transport company is fully insured. Make sure the company you are dealing with isn't just hiring a 'man and a van' or that your bed or mattress is being constantly unloaded and reloaded during transit. A professionally selected transport company that knows how to correctly transport beds and mattresses is essential. The best companies use selected house removers who are trained and equipped to carry such products.

7. Check whether the goods are being delivered into your bedroom or 'kerbside'. Many companies will simply deliver your bed or mattress 'kerbside' for you to take off the truck and carry into your property yourself. With some items weighing 200kg or more, this can be almost impossible even with someone else helping you. Other companies will offer a complete factory to bedroom service that even includes installing the product in situ, if you prefer. The latter gives you total peace of mind and just leaves you to dress the bed and enjoy.

8. Check whether there are two drivers delivering your goods. You don't want to be faced with just one driver who expects you to provide 'a helping hand' in unloading your bed or mattress. Most reputable companies will ensure that two experienced drivers deliver your goods and carry them into your bedroom or location of your choice.

9. Who is supervising your order from transaction until after delivery? If you have not checked that you will have one point of contact then be careful. If you have any questions or queries then you don't want to repeat the same question to several people who have no interest in you or your purchase. Some companies will provide personal supervision of the transaction by a director - someone who has an interest in ensuring that you are looked after properly. This should help to give you confidence that you are dealing with a specialist and that your purchase is important to them.

10. Am I legally covered with a UK warranty term though the goods are being exported? It depends! An aspect often overlooked by customers buying overseas is the all-important guarantee. Only an established professional company with the backing of the manufacturer will honour the UK warranty even if the product is being sent abroad, and you need to make certain of this before your purchase.

Well, that covers some of the essential points necessary when dealing with a specialist export retailer. Remember to take your time and look at the company's website and always read the testimonials from previous customers.

Sleep well!
