Christmas-to-New Year deliveries & VAT increase

Tuesday, December 29th, 2009

.

There are a few delivery restrictions between Christmas and the new year due to some of our suppliers being closed for the festive period.  All bean bag orders received up until 2pm today (Tuesday 29th December) will be dispatched as usual, but any orders received after this time and up until 11am Monday 4th January will be delivered on Tuesday 5th January 2010 (to UK Zone 1 delivery areas – other areas will be the following day).

There’s been much talk about the forthcoming increase in the standard rate of VAT, from 15% to its previous level of 17.5%, on 1st January.  Our sale prices will continue into January and remain for the entire first month of the new year.  We will not be passing on the VAT increase just yet, so our customers will have all month to decide on the perfect beanbag without rushing into something.  We think it seems much fairer that way.

That means you can still bag a real leather bean bag or faux leather bean bag way below standard prices for the next 4 weeks so have a browse, request some colour samples and think it over: there’s no rush.

Christmas Delivery Deadline Extended for Quality Bean Bags

Tuesday, December 22nd, 2009

The Christmas delivery deadline has been extended again so you can now order quality ‘Everlast’ faux leather bean bags or real leather beanbags up until 11am Wednesday 23rd December and receive them on Christmas Eve.

Unfortunately, this only applies to our UK Zone 1 shipping areas, as shipping to other zones can only be sent on a 2 day service.  Please visit the delivery info page of our website for shipping zone details.

Next day delivery to UK Zone 1 is still completely free for all bean bags over £30.

Thanks, and once again, merry Christmas!

Extended Christmas delivery for your bean bags

Monday, December 21st, 2009

The presents were all bought weeks ago, each one lovingly encased in shiny, sparkly wrapping paper before being carefully placed underneath the tree…at least that was the idea when we started making our Christmas plans a month or two ago.  As it happens, we’re all still running around in a frenzy, searching for those last few gifts for someone special and longing for a moment of inspiration.

Well, at Cozibag Bean Bags we have extended the last Christmas delivery date to include orders placed up until 11am on Tuesday 22nd December to ensure that everyone can get their last-minute presents as late as possible.  This will give enough time for orders to be dispatched on the 22nd and delivered, free of charge (see free delivery terms), on the 23rd (with a bit of leeway for potential delays as deliveries can also be made on 24th).  We can’t guarantee deliveries to offshore/outer-lying areas as these can only be sent on a 2 day delivery, but we can guarantee they will be dispatched on time and that 99% will make it on Christmas Eve.

Remember, all of our quality bean bags are still on sale with over £100 off some of our real leather bean bags.

Thanks for reading and have a great Christmas.

Cozibag Beanbags Christmas deliveries

Monday, December 14th, 2009

At Cozibag Bean Bags we will work right up until Christmas to ensure our customers have every opportunity to get gifts for their loved ones in time for Christmas.

If you buy one of our quality bean bags, whether it be for children to use as gaming bean bags or as a stylish piece of furniture that adds something a little different and quirky to your living room, order by 18th December to guarantee delivery before Christmas.  Orders placed by 11am on 18th December will be dispatched that day for delivery on Monday 21st December (outer-lying/offshore areas take a day longer).  Orders placed on 18th December but after 11am will be dispatched on Monday 21st for delivery on Tuesday 22nd (again outer-lying/offshore areas take a day longer).

We will be dispatching orders that are placed right up until 22nd December so any last minute orders may be delivered on Christmas Eve, but we can’t guarantee the delivery for obvious reasons (some companies guarantee these things but, when it comes to the crunch, will simply tell you that they have no control over courier delays – we never want to mislead our customers).

So, to be safe, order your leather bean bags and faux leather bean bags by 18th December to avoid disappointment – click here for full delivery details.

England World Cup Glory from the comfort of a Bean Bag!

Monday, December 7th, 2009

So, the nation begins to expect…it’s that time again when every football fan starts to dream of their country lifting the greatest prize in football: The FIFA World Cup.

Unfortunately, the Scots, Welsh and Northern Irish missed out following some below-par performances, and the Irish, well, I think the less said about that one the better.  Therefore, the whole of the UK and Ireland will be cheering on the one remaining home nation to glory…or possibly not, but it’s nice to think that everyone will get behind Rooney and co.

The draw for the group stage was certainly kind to England and at least gives hope to achieving the minimum target of qualifying for the knock-out rounds.  OK, you have to beat the best teams in order to go all the way and win it, but at least there’s a good chance of avoiding a complete hammering from the English press if they reach the later stages!

The last international tournament in Austria and Switzerland (European Championship 2008) was a complete wash out, with all home nations failing to qualify for that one, but England did appear in the last World Cup, staged in Germany, 2006.  Cozibag was then a fledgling company but we met up with some local business owners and were proud to supply some prestigious Birmingham bars with bean bags to allow their customers to watch the games in style.  We only had a limited range of styles at the time and provided them all with classic High-back XXL Beanbag in Red/White combinations in our unbeatable Everlast Faux Leather material , which is beautifully luxurious but incredibly strong.  Mixed colours arent available on the website just at the moment but we will be getting new stock in plenty of time for the World Cup.  They went down a treat and we have since fulfilled more bean bag orders for various shapes and colours.

The Everlast Faux Leather range is very popular with businesses as the bean bags offer high-end style with superb quality workmanship and durability.  We have also started supplying our new range of real leather bean bags to businesses who wish to opt for the most luxurious pieces available.

Holidays are coming!

Tuesday, December 1st, 2009

It’s the first day of advent and the run-up to Christmas begins now.  We’re not fans of the retail industry’s obsession with starting Christmas as soon as possible – putting up decorations in early October is just plain ridiculous!  It’s a time of real anticipation and spiritual reflection for those with genuine Christian beliefs, and a time of sheer excitement at the thought of all those presents for others!

We all have to be a little more careful with how we spend our money these days, and that’s certainly no bad thing – we couldn’t continue lavishing money on every little whim forever.  So, whenever we make a purchase, it’s vital we ensure that we are getting high quality goods that will last a long time, but at a price that won’t break the bank.  This is a philosophy that we always adhere to at Cozibag Bean Bags, both in the purchases we make and the products we sell.

Our bean bags are made from only the finest fabrics and leather; you won’t find shoddy materials or cheap cuts, or lazy and below par stitching on our bean bags.  We also offer free material samples to allow our customers to see for themselves the quality of the material and, of course, whether the colour is right.  On the rare occasion that an item is returned (which is usually due to a bean bag being larger than expected, so please check the sizes carefully!), we don’t charge a ‘re-stocking’ fee – as many other retailers do.  On top of this, the return fees that we do charge to help cover our postage costs are subsidised, so we actually lose money on returned items.  All in all, we try to be as fair as possible and accept that if we give a little, we will retain the confidence of our customers and continue to be appreciated as a top-quality, trustworthy brand.

All of our beanbags are still on sale but prices may vary on the lead-up to Christmas due to changing stock levels, so make sure you get in as soon as you can to get the best price possible.
