Information about two-tier pricing
Why do we operate a two-tier pricing policy?
No member of our society should be without a bed to sleep on at night, a chair to sit on or access to a washing machine to wear clean clothes. Sadly, this is a reality for many people. A key part of our mission is to eradicate economic inequality, making essential household items financially accessible to everyone. Our two-tier pricing policy improves the odds for thousands of people on low-incomes, restoring dignity and ensuring their living standards improve.
How is our two-tier pricing structured?
Goods at our stores are listed with two prices standard and discount. A discount price can be accessed by; Visitors who claim financial support, students and customers in employment earning £17,000 per annum or less.This is an example of how a pricing ticket will appear on an item at a Furniture Now! store Our access to high-quality furniture and dedication to customer service ensures that every visitor to our stores leaves satisfied.
Our standard tier price still provides excellent value for money, with our high-quality goods cheaper than all mainstream furniture and electrical suppliers on the high street.
How do I prove I qualify for the discount price?
In order to qualify for discount pricing, evidence must be supplied to a member of staff in the form of;
Welfare support
