Guaranteed Christmas Delivery FAQs
What does guaranteed Christmas delivery mean?
Guaranteed Christmas delivery at DFS is very simple - it’s our way of saying we can get these products delivered to you in time for Christmas. Whether it’s a stunning new sofa, a comfortable new bed or mattress, or a stylish new dining table - you can order safe in the knowledge it’ll be delivered in time for the big day.
Why does DFS offer guaranteed Christmas delivery?
Here at DFS, we know that for many of us, Christmas is a very special time of year - a time we get to gather our loved ones and spend quality time together. With so many important social occasions on the calendar, it makes sense that many of us want to get our homes in tip-top condition beforehand! We see a rush every year in customers looking for new sofas, beds, mattresses and dining furniture they can have delivered in time for Christmas. To make it easy for you to narrow down the search - and be sure your choices will be delivered in time - every year we clearly mark which of our products are still available in time for Christmas. This year is no different!
Do I have to pay extra for guaranteed Christmas delivery?
No, you do not have to pay extra for guaranteed Christmas delivery at DFS - we charge the same prices for delivery year-round.
When does guaranteed Christmas delivery start at DFS?
While you can absolutely order many of our products earlier in the year and still get delivery in time for Christmas, here at DFS we tend to start talking about guaranteed Christmas delivery in late August and early September. As the year progresses, we have fewer and fewer ranges available to be delivered in time for Christmas - since our sofas come from all over the world and take different amounts of time to make - so we start talking about it early to ensure our customers don’t miss out on their dream sofas.
Why does guaranteed Christmas delivery on some products end sooner than others?
With such a wide range of styles, shapes, price points and types of furniture, it’s no surprise that we at DFS work with a range of manufacturers and suppliers to source and create our products. Some of our sofas are made right here in the UK, in our own workshops and factories - while others are made further afield, in Europe and China. The further away a product is made, the longer it takes to ship to the UK, so some of our ranges have longer lead times than others, which affects the cutoff dates for guaranteed Christmas delivery. On the other hand, while much of our catalogue is made to order, we do have a significant and growing number of products that are in stock and ready to ship, year-round - so there is always plenty of choice at DFS if you want your sofa, mattress, bed or other furniture quickly.
When does guaranteed Christmas delivery end at DFS?
All of our ranges have different cutoff points for guaranteed Christmas delivery, so it’s best to order early if you’ve got your heart set on something in particular! Some of our sofas are only guaranteed to be delivered in time for Christmas when you order before October - while other ranges may still be available for Christmas delivery into November and early December. If it’s late in the year and a specific product still has a banner stating guaranteed Christmas delivery, you can be certain there’s still time to order… But don’t hang around! We wouldn’t want you to miss out this Christmas.
