Doing The Right Thing

Delivery - We're still delivering to homes across the UK, with some items taking a little longer than usual and some items temporarily unavailable due to unprecedented demand. We're working on getting back up to speed!

Our 'room of choice' deliveries have safely returned where it’s safe to do so, which means we will offer to bring large delivery items inside to any room, and we can take away packaging too. We aren't able to offer this for everyone at the moment due to Government guidelines and local restrictions, which you can find out more about here.

Pausa Coffee Shops - We're very happy to say that most of our Pausa Coffee Shops have now reopened, with a few Government recommended changes in place to help everyone stay safe.

• Completion of Track and Trace is now essential if you'd like to eat or drink in our cafés.

• It's easier if you download the NHS Track and Trace app in advance to scan the QR code at the entrance to your local Pausa Coffee Shop. If you can't scan the code, our hosts will take your details manually.

• We are now running table service for all orders and these will be delivered to the table once you have paid for your treats.

Our opening time have changed, please find the latest info here.

Due to local restrictions, we have temporarily closed some Pausa Coffee Shops. We apologise for any inconvenience and we look forward to welcoming you back in the near future at the following stores: Ballymena, Barnet, Bangor, Beckton, Belfast, Birmingham Highgate, Blackburn, Bolton, Bridgend, Cardiff, Carmarthen, Coleraine, Colliers Wood, Hartlepool, Horsham, Llanelli, Londonderry, Newport, Newtownabbey, North Shields, Nuneaton, Pontypridd, Radcliffe, Staples Corner, Swansea, Wellingborough., Wrexham.

Local Lockdowns & Restrictions - The majority of our stores are open with social distancing and safety measures in place. However, in-line with the recent announcements and for everyone’s safety, our stores in Wales have temporarily closed until the Government says it’s safe to re-open. Our stores in England, Scotland and Northern Ireland remain open even in areas currently under local lockdown, as Dunelm is classed as an essential retailer by the Government guidelines. If you have purchased an item for home delivery and your address is currently affected by local lockdown rules, if you are self-isolating, or you are experiencing any symptoms of Covid-19, we will still bring your home comforts to you, but we will make a contact-free delivery to your doorstep only. Read more on delivery, returns and refunds.

Our Stores

All of our stores have fully reopened with social distancing and safety measures in place and we now offer a range of ways to shop to suit your needs. We have looked extensively into the way we work, and reviewed our processes to make our Click & Collect service completely contact-free and safe for our colleagues and customers. Read more about in-store safe shopping here.

Our Colleagues

As part of our revised ways of working, we have introduced a number of measures which we have developed in conjunction with external consultants. We want our colleagues to feel at home while they are with us, which is why we have placed a lot of emphasis on listening to what our people want from us to feel safe and protected while they're at work:

• Self-isolation for the vulernable and single parents

• Adapted ways of working

• Supported by external consultants and Trading Standards

From Our Home To Yours

If possible, we will place your parcel in a safe place, and post a calling card through your letterbox to let you know where you'll find it. If we can't find a safe place, we'll knock on your door to make the delivery, but we won't ask for a signature. Instead, we'll just ask for your name to make sure we've got the right home. For furniture and large item deliveries, we have safely resumed room of choice delivery where it is safe to do so.

• Provided Care Homes in the West Midlands with toiletries and gardening products​

• Our Oldbury store pioneered a virtual pom pom making event in their local Wychbury Care Home

• We began 175 local Care Home partnerships across all of our store communities, by making donations first of all, and we have some wonderful plans in place to continue supporting them in the future.

We have also organised Facebook Community Groups to help us all stay connected. We want to help build a community of friendly, like-minded people who love for their homes, homewares and all things local, so our stores each have their group.

Join your local community today to start connecting our homes with yours (and your neighbours!).

Macmillan are doing all they can to keep supporting people with cancer at this difficult time​​​​​ by adapting and developing new support services - but they need our help.
