Q: WHEN IS YOUR STORE OPEN?

A: In order to offer the best service to our clients, we operate a by appointment basis in the gallery and so please email us on innesonline@mac.com if you would like to visit the gallery. Having said that, we are usually open from 9am to 5.30pm Monday to Friday and 10am to 4pm on a Saturday and you can usually just pop in without an appointment, but an appointment does guarantee you some one to one assistance during your visit.


 

Q: DO YOU OFFER A PRICE PROMISE?

A: Innes only sell licensed original pieces and so please understand that we do not work on vastly inflated margins that are then slashed as a matter of course. Whilst we try to stick to the Suggested Retail Prices (SRP) that our manufacturers recommend, we understand that our clients want value for money and so we try our hardest to make sure that they are always given a competitive price.

If you are able to find the same product that we sell at a cheaper price, but would prefer to buy from us then please send us the written quotation and we try our hardest to match it. Please note that this does not include ex display or clearance pieces.

 


 

Q: HOW DO YOU GET MY ORDER TO ME?

A: As our product range is so varied in terms of size, weight and price, we use an assortment of delivery methods.

If you order a very small item that we can send via the post office, we will do so via a signed for option that will arrive with you within a couple of days.

If the item is a little larger or of a greater value we will send out via a next day courier (Monday to Friday).

For very large or fragile items we use a specialist delivery firm and offer a range of services from straight drop off (which is our standard service for bigger items) right up to a full white glove service that includes placing in a room of your choice, assembly of the furniture and removal of all the packaging. As they cover the whole country, deliveries are usually competed within a 2 week period from collection from our warehouse. This company would call you directly once they have collected the items from us, in order to set up a mutually convenient time for delivery.

At the moment we have a special offer with free mainland UK delivery for orders over £45. Please note that this does not cover large pieces of furniture, clearance items or the HAY Wardrobe.

For overseas clients, a £50 nominal charge is applied to your order at time of order. As prices change so frequently for overseas deliveries we work the delivery cost on an individual order basis. We will then either credit money back or let you know the additional cost if your delivery charges are different to the nominal £50.

 


 

Q: HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE FOR MY ORDER TO ARRIVE?

A: If it is in stock, is the right size to be sent via over night courier and is convenient to you, we can send it to arrive the next day (Monday to Friday). Due to any adverse weather or road conditions, this can be delayed slightly. Items not in stock take varying amounts of time to arrive. These vary between 2 days and to several weeks for some of our bespoke made furniture. We are here to advise you on lead times for specific pieces. Please note that the times indicated on our site can vary during holiday periods.

 


 

Q: HOW CAN WE CONTACT YOU?

A: There are several ways. By telephone - + 44 (0) 1482 649271 - from Monday to Friday from 9am to 5.30pm. We do not use a call answering service as we feel it important that you talk to someone who deals with the products everyday and can answer your enquiry quickly and efficiently. By email - innesonline@mac.com - we should get back to you quickly with any enquiry you may have. In person - you can pop into our showroom in Hessle Square, East Yorkshire.

 


 

Q: WHO ARE INNES? DO YOU HAVE A SHOWROOM?

A: Innes are a third generation family business that have been trading for over 75 years. We pride ourselves on customer service and try to make your experience with us as enjoyable as possible. We have an extensive showroom in the picturesque town of Hessle in East Yorkshire, where we display a large selection of contemporary furniture, lighting, gifts and art prints. Many of our manufacturers have showrooms in London and we can arrange appointments on your behalf if it is not convenient to travel to our showroom, and London would suit you better.




 

Q: CAN YOU SOURCE OTHER PRODUCTS FOR ME?

A: We try to offer a complete a service as possible and so if there is a specific item or brand that you are looking for, then please let us know and we will try to source this for you.

 


 

Q: DO YOU WORK ON COMMERCIAL PROJECTS AS WELL AS DOMESTIC ONES?

A: Yes, we have a good wealth of experience in the commercial arena and assist clients all round the world in sourcing contemporary pieces at competitive prices. Please contact David Innes on davidinnes@mac.com for any commercial enquiry.

Our sister company, Innes Photographers, can even take highly creative shots of the end results ... More examples of this work can be found at this link ... www.innesphotographers.co.uk/portfolio/location/index.htm

 


 

Q: DO YOU SHIP ABROAD? HOW MUCH WILL SHIPPING COST?

A: Yes, we ship a lot abroad due to the weak sterling. As our product range is so diverse, we recommend that you email us with your full shipping address and the items that you are interested in and we will then contact our couriers to get the most competitive price for you. It may take a day or two to get these quotes in.

Please note that Innes is a UK registered company and that as the UK left the EU on 01 January 2021, THAT ALL ORDERS SENT OUTSIDE OF THE UK WILL HAVE THE UK VAT REMOVED AT CHECKOUT. YOU WILL BE CHARGED VAT ALONG WITH ANY CUSTOM DUTIES, FESS AND IMPORT TAXES UPON DELIVERY INTO YOUR OWN COUNTRY.

We recommend that you contact your local tax office for more information.

Please note that if any items are returned due to non payment of taxes, the client is responsible for any costs this incurs.

 


 

Q: CAN I TRUST YOU? I AM NOT USED TO BUYING ON LINE.

A: As we are a family business that has traded for over 60 years, a great proportion of our business is repeat work. We try to go that extra length as we appreciate that we are retailing beautiful pieces that appeal to the discerning buyer and so always try to offer customer service that compliments this. This is easy for us to say and so below are some extracts from client emails that should hopefully put your mind at rest ...

The Alessi product we ordered from you was delivered by Parcelforce today, Saturday, in good condition. I must say that the service you have provided has been excellent throughout, from the quality and fair price of the product through to the attentive communication about delivery. I am not exaggerating when I say that I have not found better service from another online retailer. I will certainly look to you again when I need to buy household goods and gifts. Regards, Steve.
 

Have bought many items from Innes and the service is always second to none. I always choose to buy from them now because of this even when product may be available from other online retailers. It really is worth it for me because the service levels are miles apart.

Excellent service and care... the team were very responsive and helpful.

We couldn't be happier with the service we received at Innes. The entire team professional, friendly, helpful with a wealth of knowledge and expertise which made the shopping experience easy and enjoyable. Thank You.

Superb service with the added personal touch . Highly recommend they go above and beyond to help.

Prices are competitive, but the main reason that I buy from Innes is their reliability and excellent communication. If there is a delay they will tell you. Packing and delivery is excellent.

Excellent communication, clear and polite. Fantastic garden bench. Many thanks.

Superb range of product, excellent pricing and faultless customer service.

I cannot speak more highly of the excellent professional yet friendly customer service received from the Innes team. Additional to this their range is second to none, and prices are the lowest I could find.

We bought some Foscarini lamps from Innes. The customer care has been impeccable. The price was the most competitive one, but the support and kindness of the team has been top class. I highly recommend Innes, could not be happier.

Professional and kept in touch with delivery expectations. Very happy with the Eames chairs and ottomans,- definitely worth paying for the top quality leather.

Absolutely brilliant after service as my Tom Dixon Chairs and Dining Room table were ordered and delivered . Chris gave excellent attention and advice. A very personal service in demanding delivery times.

Brilliant personal service from Chris Innes - helpful, good-humoured and efficient. It made buying "high end" furniture such a pleasure and a down-to-earth experience. Thoroughly recommended.

Innes has a wide range of quality designer furniture which made it easy for us to select the chairs which met our requirements. We have always found the staff to be knowledgeable and helpful. The furniture arived in good condition and was very well packed. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend this shop.

Excellent service throughout - as usual. I asked for a quotation. Received promptly. I placed the order, which was swiftly acknowledged, with lead time. I was notified when the item was ready for delivery and I received an email on the day in question concerning the time of delivery. Certainly five stars!

David and the team at Innes have been incredibly helpful and their customer service and attention to detail is second to none - we can't recommend them highly enough!

Ordered a B&B Italia couch and a pair of Hay Palissade outdoor dining chairs from Innes during lockdown. Being based in London all our communications were via email which were always answered promptly. Happy to send fabric samples when we were deciding on a fabric for the couch. Chairs a little delayed but no fault of Innes and I was kept informed of new dates. Couch delivered sooner than we had expected which was a very nice surprise. A great selection on their website, great service and would not hesitate to order from them again. Dealt with David and Chris and both extremely professional and courteous.

Ivor Innes offer a wonderful selection of furniture and accessories, but it’s their service that sets them apart. I’ve been very impressed by the friendly team and their attention to detail. Everything I’ve ordered has been followed up to check it has arrived safely and that I’m happy with it, from the gorgeous Carl Hansen chairs a few years back to a beautiful Arne Jacobsen clock this month. With some companies, shopping online can be fraught with difficulties, but with the Ivor Innes team I feel I’m dealing with people who care for the products as much as I do!

Visiting and hopefully purchasing from Innes is probably one of the nicest retail experiences you'll have. Exquisite furniture and gifts, matched only by the perfect service from the wonderfully knowledgeable and friendly David and his team.

Great customer service. Ordered from Heals and John Lewis at the same time but Innes communicated to a much higher standard. Would highly recommend.

Placed my first order with Innes for many String Furniture pieces recently - they had the cheapest prices available, including German stores and John Lewis. Even though I paid online, I was very impressed with the follow up phone call the next day to confirm the order, lead-time and delivery schedule. Placed another order a few days later, for in stock items - Innes organised what they had in stock, and sent it separately straight away, again with a call back to check everything was OK. Purchases arrived in perfect condition, well protected and well wrapped. Very happy customer, thank you!

I would just like to say I have never had such brilliant customer service from a company before from start to finish it really shows that your heart and soul goes into this business . I wish you all the best :)  Regards Chloe (a very happy customer!)

Everything has just arrived and its all perfect. Thank you very much. Very kind regards Nicole

Their customer service is fabulous - other companies could learn a lot from them!

I have made 4 purchases from Innes since the end of Lockdown 1 and I have been extremely happy each time. Their prices are competitive and I think their service stands them apart from the crowd. Innes will continue to be my ‘go to’ shop.

Thank you, my parcel arrived yesterday in good condition (and very well wrapped!)

You are definitely the most 'proactive' supplier I have ever ordered goods from and I'd be happy to buy from you again.

I've had a few orders from Innes and I love the fact that if you email them, you get a prompt response from a member of staff. They'll go the extra mile in helping customers get the items they want at competitive prices, with their price match practice. Excellent company to deal with, I can't fault them. Their range of products is fabulous too.

Excellent service. A friendly, knowledgeable team with a real passion for the products they sell and great communication - they kept us well informed throughout. Would recommend them unreservedly.

From start to finish, Innes provided exceptional service. Really have gone above and beyond. Thank you very much!

We received an excellent service from Innes. I got in a muddle and ordered the wrong sized shelves for our String system but Innes' staff couldn't have done more to sort it all out. Thank you! This is one excellent shop and the staff clearly have an eye for fine design. We'll definitely be perusing the online shop again soon.

Best service I’ve ever received! Firstly they had the item in stock, delivered super quick and followed up with a courtesy email to check if received. Will definitely buy from Innes again!

Faultless service from start to finish and Phoebe was extremely charming and helpful. The items ordered were excellent, so a five star rating all round. Thank you - it was a pleasure dealing with your company.

I just wanted to let you know that the George Nelson wall clock arrived safely and that we are delighted with it. Thank you for your care and attention in dealing with this order.

Received this item today. Absolutely delighted with it, and speed of delivery

This morning I've received the carpet (rug).
I'm very satisfied of the carpet and of the really fast shipping!!
thank you again Alessandro

The Beanbag arrived Sat afternoon. Thankyou for your excellent service and follow up call this morning.
Have a very merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
Kind regards Helen

Just a quick note to say I received the magazine rack last week and am extremely pleased with it; it was bought as we already have a Kartell Fly Light and it complements it perfectly.
Also, I would like to mention that I thought your customer service was excellent throughout the whole process.
Regards George

The 'bird' arrived today 15 March at 1400hrs.
Thank you for the excellent service, beautifully packed.
By far the best service of any company I have dealt with in UK.
RM-S

I just wanted to let you know that the three Tom Dixon pendants all arrived in perfect condition and we're very happy with them.
Great service too.

Best regards, Estrellita

Debs

Good morning.
All arrived safely. Look fantastic.
Thanks for prompt service. Will be buying some vitra chairs from you when i have some spare cash in the new year.
Rich

The table looks great. Thanks for contacting me to confirm all is ok, very good customer service.
Kind regards, Clare

Very professional service – thank you very much – very appreciated and have a great weekend
Jon

Further to your telephone call this afternoon, I confirm receipt of the Robert Welch Carving Set.
Thanks for your prompt and efficient service.
Cheers Pat

Yes everything was fine and many thanks for your help and great service.
Regards Philip

The chairs arrived today safe and sound with DHL international. I have very pleased with your services as well as the over all shopping experience. The PK22 are just so great!
If you like to have feedback on what to improve (I have been working in the ebusiness space for multinational companies for number of years): What made me (as a first time shopper at your store) a bit hesitant in the first place, was that I hardly couldn't find any customer reviews and/or independent shop reviews across the net. I was searching quite a bit and couldn't find any third party source that was validating that your store actually was a solid and trustworthy store. The only "third party source" that I had to rely on, what that Fritz Hansen have you as an "independent retailer"...So, if you like to extend your customerbase, my recommend you to spend a bit more effort on visibillity of the trustworthness doing business with you...
All in all, I will return shopping with you ;-D
Cheers
Pär  
(This is something that we are working on and hope to be able to add a customer review section soon) 

Just a brief e-mail to thank you for your superb service in dealing with my purchase of the "Little Friend Table" (Fritz Hansen). From the initial order through to the delivery today, the service has been excellent. The delivery (today at 6.55 a.m.) was brilliant. No waiting around at all.
Kind Regards, Derek

Yes,  thank you I have received my order. Many thanks. I am really pleased with my rugs. Tommy 

Thank you for your message! My order has arrived safely. And I´m very pleased with my purchase.
Thank you!
Kind regards, Noora

The table looks great. Thanks for contacting me to confirm all is ok, very good customer service.
Kind regards, Clare
 

The table just arrived here in Frankfurt and looks wonderful.
Thank you very much for your help during the process as I was a little frightened to order a table in Great Britain.
Greetings from Germany, Stephan


Delivery received ! Thank you very much for your help with my order, I shall go home this evening with a smile, as it feels like Christmas eve…….
All the best, Ian
 

I just wanted to say that my order of the 6 Air Chairs by Magis arrived this morning and how impressed I have been in dealing with your company and how flawlessly the order has been implemented - we renovated our house last year so experienced many many suppliers so know good service when we see it.
We shall definitely be checking out your site for any of our future needs.
Thank you, David

I recently placed an order with you for Iittala Ultima Glasses and managed to make a mess of the order! Throughout this whole process your staff on the end of the phone (Julie, June & Sam) have been wonderful. Even before I discovered that I had messed up the order the level of customer care had impressed me so much from these women that I had already mentioned it to my family.
I just wanted someone at Innes to know that they have really lovely and efficient staff who make it a delight to shop with Innes. Please let them know that I totally appreciate their level of care, efficiency and bright cheery manner in dealing with customers. Well done to them!
With all good wishes, Mervyn

I guess by now you would've guessed that I've decided to keep the Georg Jensen jug.
I just like to express my thanks for your great customer service.  you've been the best online retailer that I've had the pleasure of shopping with.  I wish you all the best with your business.
kind regards, Ray
 

I don't often give feedback but I thought in this case that you deserve a special mention! I ordered some wine glasses from you for my friend's birthday. Unfortunately they were out of stock but you immediately rang me to check if the new delivery timings would be OK. When they came in stock, again I received a phone call to organise the exact delivery details. The wine glasses arrived exactly when you said they would and were very securely packaged. I've also just had another phone call to check that everything was OK. I just want to say thank you for not only being utterly professional but also being extrememly friendly and helpful. Such outstanding customer service is rarely seen nowadays and truely deserves credit. I will definitely be ordering from you agian in the future and will recommend you to friends, colleagues, and anyone else who will listen!!
Big Thanks, One VERY happy customer. Emma :)

I ordered the below Robert Welsh Knife set from you a week or so ago and I just wanted to say how impressed I was with the service. The item was delivered today and it absolutely beautiful. I thought the customer service I received when arranging delivery of the item was amazing and the 2 woman I spoke to were extremely helpful and pleasant - your staff are a credit to the company.
I look forward to shopping with you again.
Kind regards, Paula

I just received my order today. In great condition ofcourse.... And for the weekend...Thank you very much for a very nice and easy transaction. Your service and email contact is top notch. Keep up the good work and i hope to do business again someday. Kind regards Eric

Just to let you know my Windrush Candlesticks have arrived safely, and I am thrilled with them.
Many thanks for such an excellent service, sadly rarely seen these days, I will be recommending you to my friends.
Kindest Regards, Simon

I recently purchased a watch online from Ivor Innes, unfortunately after a couple of months the watch became faulty, I emailed them, they immediately responed and offered to replace the watch, no quibbles, no questions, just very helpful. I shop online from may different suppliers but can honestly say the customer service I received from them was first class. I will recommend them to eveyone I know.

My order has safely arrived in London today.

Many thanks for your excellent service and a happy Christmas to all at Innes.
Kind regards, Lesley

The chairs and coffee table arrived yesterday, very lucky considering the weather and they are gorgeous very pleased... hoping the family can get here to christian it!! Have a great Christmas and Happy New Year. Regards Helen

I just wanted to say how pleased I am with my order and how you handled it.  It was a refreshing experience to be phoned up by a very pleasant person when I pleased my order to be asked about a convenient delivery day.  The parcel arrived really well wrapped and I am very pleased with it, it looks great.
I will definitely order from you again. regards, Janet

Just wanted to say thanks for professional and efficient service - received candlesticks yesterday as promised. Again thanks, Mark

Thanks so much for taking the trouble to call me about the Tom Dixon light, which is perfect and I’m enjoying using. In fact I still have the old light - minus cable – which I’ll hold on to as a piece of sculpture.

Thanks for sorting out this problem with such care and attention.
Best Antony

I can confirm that the Coffee table arrived safely and that it looks fantastic.

I would also like to thank you for your excellent and professional service!
With kind regards Henrik

We got the 2nd set of chairs we ordered from you this week and I wanted to drop you a quick email to tell you what a pleasure it was to deal with Innes.  Everyone there was so lovely and helpful, despite our indecisiveness.  It was such a joy to order from a company who give such personal attention to detail and have been so accommodating.  We will definitely be ordering from you in the future.  Keep up the good work. Best, Lee

Thank you for the call yesterday, just to confirm I did receive my order, and am delighted with it!

Just to say thank you for the excellent service! I received the chair this morning, delivered by your courier after 9.30am as requested. Now sat in the very, very comfortable and extremely beautiful chair typing this.
As a first time customer of Innes I will gladly recommend you to others and will certainly shop with you again.
Many thanks and kind regards, Kev
 

I ordered the Tom Dixon mirror ball stand on Thursday.
Despite my many attempts to obtain assistance directly from the Tom Dixon people, I essentially had no way of checking the dimensions of the stand.
Thank you so much for all your assistance, excellent customer service and prompt delivery of the stand.
The stand looks absolutely fantastic and arrived on time also (despite the 24 hour notice).
Thank you! Jafar

thanks for the quick responses - i nearly had given up on internet shopping since so many retailers have no concept of customer service!!!  So far your help as been fantastic. rgds Alison

Firstly may I say on behalf of us both, how much we enjoyed our visit to your gallery, most impressive. The vase we bought is beautiful and already full of flowers.
We are going to measure up and discuss the logistics of storing the limited edition pieces we already have in our kitchen and get back to you in the next week or so.
Take care, Terry

The chairs have just arrived - they look fantastic!
Many thanks for such good service.
Regards...Peter

Thank you for your telephone call yesterday regarding the RW Oak Canteens. I consider this as excellent service.

We received the canteens safely - they were the best wrapped products we have ever had, and the quality of the canteens were excellent.
Well done!  What else do you sell?
God Bless

The chairs arrived today in very good condition.  They are great.
Thank you once again.

I just wanted to say THANK YOU so very much for the excellent service you and your staff at Innes provided. We are so happy with the sofa and the match is near perfect. Steve and I are down your way next weekend and note you have a gallery, I have seen a few peaces on the web site that I like. Are you open on Sundays?
Thanks again. Best wishes Jacqueline

That's great news! Super service! The chair colour is white and they will sit on a tiled floor.
Thanks for all your help. Lucy
 

How exciting! And thank you for all the phone calls and emails keeping me in touch. I appreciate it. Can’t wait to get it.

Hi, if we ordered 4 of these wall lights can you do us a deal ? I have ordered from you before and i remember you are so amazing how you run things . I have ordered from other companies and nobody rings back , i remembered your team are so good
Many thanks Keely

Yes thank you, my package arrived safely yesterday. The items are perfect. Thanks for taking the time out to send it by regular post and will definitely be doing business with you in the future.
Many Thanks, Adam.

Purchased a demo set of a Saarinen Oak Dining Table and 4 Eames plastic chairs through David and the whole experience was truly pleasant. As I stay in Singapore, there was the added complexity of getting this set crated and shipped over but David provided excellent service and support in obtaining a freight company and handling all the shipping issues. The set arrived in great condition and I am really happy with Innes on such a large ticket transaction.
Kind regards, Weiming, Singapore

and sometimes when things go wrong with deliveries that are beyond our control, we are always there to sort it out ...

I just wanted to thank you and everyone at Innes for seeing through my Noguchi table drama to it's conclusion, and also for the generous gift of the Georg Jensen decanter, which arrived yesterday.
My new house is nearly completely decorated so I don't expect any more big purchases for a while, but rest assured I'd choose Innes again without hesitation (though maybe we'll see if there's a way to do it without WrapnSend?!). It comes as such a welcome surprise to see such attentive follow-up from Small-Medium Enterprises in this age of piled-high, rock bottom chain stores!
With kindest regards and best wishes for a prosperous 2010.
