Questions about each
B&Q
How long do I have to return a sofa or a rug?+
B&Q accepts returns for 90 days, which is generous next to the site median of 30. That window applies across the ranges it sells, so a large piece can be sent back within the same limit as a smaller item. Returns are the main route for judging a sofa, since there is no in home trial.
What does delivery cost and how long does it take?+
Delivery takes 1 to 5 weeks. Free delivery is not standard here, but it kicks in once your basket reaches £100 to £500. The fastest end of that window lines up with the site median of 0, so collecting in person is the quicker route when a deadline is tight.
Yoolax
How much do made to measure blinds and curtains cost?+
Yoolax lists a starting price of $119 on roller shades, and the made to measure range works in polyester and wood, so fabric and wood slat pieces sit at different points above that entry figure. Because each order is cut to the measurements you give, the final cost follows the size and the material chosen. The quoted figure is a per-order price, not an introductory rate that renews higher.
Can I return made to measure blinds if the fit is wrong?+
Returns run 30 days, which places the brand at 16 of 109 on that measure. The window matters more here than for a stocked product, because a custom size cannot be exchanged for a standard one. Measure twice, or use the sample step, before the cut is made.
