PLEASE vote YES below if you find this Guide Useful  :)

CHECK LIST :-

  1. Use Ebays new FREE POSTAGE search for easily seeing the Total Cost. Alternatively add the sale price to the Postage Cost for a Total when making comparisons.
  2. Learn from previous Buyers - Check the Sellers FEEDBACK and DETAILED SELLER RATINGS. Ebay supplies these figures to enable you to easily find The BEST SELLER.
  3. Don't be Fooled - Check the ITEM DESCRIPTION thoroughly - You may think you are about to buy a Filled Beanbag but it may be just a COVER ONLY.....BEWARE !!
  4. Do Not just look at the Picture and decide to Buy - Pictures can be misleading especially when No Model is used - Check Sizes given in ITEM DESCRIPTION to see the TRUE SIZE   -  RE-CHECK the Claimed Sizes upon Delivery as it is not uncommon for sellers to Exaggerate Sizes. Refer to Feedbacks given for clues :- "Better than Picture" is preferable to "Not as good as Picture"
  5. Check RETURN POLICIES  carefully - a RE-STOCKING FEE is charged by some sellers.
  6. Make sure your beanbag has BREATHER EYELETS fitted where necessary - these allow air to release from the bag safely, without breather eyelets fitted on larger beanbags there is a high risk of seems splitting under the pressure of you sitting or lying in it.
  7. DELIVERY TIMES - check sellers FEEDBACK to see from previous Buyers the Actual Delivery times taken - Some claim to be Fast as they DO NOT Make To Order when in fact they take much longer to deliver their "Off the Shelf" products.
  8. Most professional sellers have other outlets - EBAY is BY FAR the cheapest place to Buy.
  9. Make sure the Beanbag has been Manufactured in accordance with BS 5852, The Furniture And Furnishings (Fire)(Safety) Regulations 1988 - Buying from a Professional Manufacturer should ensure your Beanbag is Safe.
  10. Buying a Cover Only ?.. be very careful. There are Covers Only listed from non-UK sellers which will not only require you to buy loose filling once you get it, but May also need a schedule 3 interliner to conform to UK regulations which exist for Your Safety. A cover will need to be manufactured from Fire Retardency treated fabric to Not require a schedule 3 interliner.
