How does 'In The Home' Delivery work?
To use this service, add your desired items to your cart, choose 'Home Delivery' at checkout and select the 'In The Home Delivery' option. Provide detailed delivery instructions, select your preferred delivery day, and confirm your order. You'll receive a confirmation email and SMS with delivery details, and on delivery day, ensure clear access and that someone over 18 is present. The driver will place items in your specified room.
