For high-volume retail accounts requiring bespoke KPI benchmarks (such as localized 48h swap logistics), our commercial team can draft dedicated warranty annexes.

What happens if a customer experiences missing parts on delivery? +
Every 40HQ container includes 1-2% extra pre-bagged hardware sets and replacement slats inside the container buffer. If your warehouse buffer is depleted, we air-courier replacement hardware directly via DHL or FedEx at our cost within 48 hours of verification.
Who covers the air freight costs for urgent replacement components? +
If the issue is caused by a factory packaging omission, defective mechanism, or manufacturing fault confirmed via barcode review, DIKAPABED covers 100% of international air freight and replacement manufacturing costs.
How do you maintain dye-lot fabric consistency on replacement parts? +
For each mass-production purchase order, our upholstery workshop retains a 5-meter reference roll of the exact dye-lot fabric alongside signed gold-seal inspection swatches. Replacement headboard covers or side rails are fabricated directly from this retained batch.
Can we order extra customized spare parts inventory in advance? +
Yes. Many large e-commerce and retail partners purchase dedicated spare parts cartons (e.g., 50x gas struts, 100x wood slats, 20x centre legs) shipped directly in their container. These are billed at nominal factory production cost to help minimize local stockout risks.
How are roll-packed and vacuum-compressed mattresses covered? +
Our pocket spring and hybrid mattresses are warranted for 5 years against permanent structural coil collapse (>2.5cm) and expansion failure when opened within our recommended 3-month warehousing window.
