Homekode Home furniture and decor (Dubai, UAE)
A UAE-based furniture and home decor retailer with a genuinely short 2-3 day return window, free standard shipping across the Emirates, and a notable catch: cash-on-delivery orders are refunded only as store credit, not cash.

A genuinely short return window, and a cash-on-delivery catch worth knowing
Homekode, operated by Homekode Home Furniture Trading Co. L.L.C. (a registered UAE company, commercial license 1124991), sells furniture and home decor, including sofas, mirrors, rugs, lighting and artificial plants, delivered within the UAE only.
Two details stand out versus most other brands we have reviewed this batch. First, the return window is just 2-3 days from the date you receive your order, far shorter than the 14-30 day windows common elsewhere, so you need to inspect furniture quickly. Second, if you paid by Cash on Delivery, Homekode's policy states the refund is issued only as store credit for future orders, not cash back, while card or installment (Tabby/Tamara) payments are refunded to the original payment method. Return shipping itself is free for eligible items, and orders can be cancelled within 24 hours of placement with no penalty; after that, a cancellation is not eligible for a refund. Damaged items must be reported within 7 days with photo or video evidence, and accidental damage from incorrect self-installation is explicitly not covered. We have not purchased furniture from Homekode ourselves, and the storefront's access restrictions meant we could not capture a live screenshot or confirm specific prices for this review.
Right for
- UAE-based buyers, since delivery is UAE-only and free shipping applies across the Emirates
- Buyers who pay by card or an installment plan (Tabby/Tamara), since those refund to the original payment method
- Anyone who inspects furniture immediately on delivery, given the short 2-3 day return window
Wrong for
- Buyers who pay Cash on Delivery and might want an actual refund rather than store credit
- Anyone outside the UAE, since Homekode does not deliver internationally
- Buyers who may need more than a few days to decide whether to keep a large furniture item
+What it gets right
- Return shipping is free for eligible items. The policy states free carriage on all unwanted items eligible for return, rather than passing that cost to the buyer.
- The cancellation window and fee structure are stated plainly. A clear 24-hour, no-penalty cancellation window is disclosed upfront.
- Damage-reporting requirements are specific rather than vague. The policy names exact photo/video evidence needed, including separate requirements for wall-mounted items like mirrors.
- A named, licensed UAE company stands behind the site. Homekode Home Furniture Trading Co. L.L.C. and a specific commercial license number are disclosed.
- Liability and dispute-resolution terms are explicit. The policy states a clear liability cap tied to the purchase price rather than leaving that open-ended.
−Where it slips
- The return window is just 2-3 days from receipt. This is considerably shorter than the 14-30 day windows common among other brands we have reviewed, leaving little time to decide.
- Cash-on-delivery refunds are store credit only, not cash. Only card or installment-plan payments get refunded to the original payment method; COD buyers cannot get cash back.
- We could not independently confirm specific product prices. The storefront restricts non-UAE automated access, which limited our ability to verify pricing for this review.
- Accidental damage from incorrect self-assembly is explicitly excluded. Given that not all products currently ship with assembly instructions, per the brand's own policy, this is a real risk worth planning for.
- Delivery is UAE-only. There is no option for buyers outside the UAE to order from this storefront at all.
Weighted for return-policy specificity, refund-method transparency and independent evidence
This is a desk-research review: we have not purchased from Homekode, and the storefront's access restrictions limited our ability to independently verify pricing. The free return shipping and clear damage-reporting process are real strengths; the short return window and the cash-on-delivery store-credit catch held the score back.
The long version
What Homekode sells, how its unusually short return window and cash-on-delivery refund terms actually work, and what we could not verify due to the storefront's access restrictions.
What Homekode sells
Homekode, operated by Homekode Home Furniture Trading Co. L.L.C. (UAE commercial license 1124991), sells furniture and home decor across categories including sofas, dining and bedroom furniture, mirrors and wall decor, rugs, lighting, artificial plants, kitchen and bathroom items, and outdoor furniture, delivered within the UAE only.
Pricing
Homekode prices its catalog in AED (UAE dirhams). The storefront restricts automated access from outside the UAE, which prevented us from independently confirming specific product prices for this review as of 30 Oct 2026; check current pricing directly on the product page.
Returns: a short window, and the cash-on-delivery catch
Homekode offers free return shipping on eligible items, but the window to request a return or replacement is just 2-3 days from the date you receive your order, requiring a return request with order details, reason, and a photo of the product in original packaging. Orders can be cancelled within 24 hours of placement with no penalty; after that, cancellation is not eligible for a refund. Refunds are typically processed within 2-3 working days after the returned item is received and verified, with card or installment (Tabby/Tamara) payments refunded to the original payment method within 7-10 working days. Orders paid via Cash on Delivery are refunded only as store credit for future purchases, not as cash.
Damaged items
Any item that arrives damaged or marked must be reported within 7 days, with the item returned in its original packaging; Homekode arranges a replacement once notified. Damage reports require specific photo or video evidence, and wall-mounted items like mirrors require additional documentation (front/back photos of the item, the mounting hook and screw, and the full wall). Accidental damage caused by incorrect self-installation is explicitly excluded from the replacement policy.
Shipping
Homekode ships within the UAE only, with free standard shipping and expedited delivery available for AED 100-300 depending on item weight and location. Delivery is to the doorstep only; in-home placement or installation may carry an additional charge, available on request.
Buying advice
Inspect your order immediately on delivery, since the return window is only 2-3 days. If you plan to pay Cash on Delivery, understand that any refund will come back as store credit rather than cash; paying by card or an installment plan keeps your refund options more flexible.

Detailed policies, with a short return window and a cash-on-delivery catch
Homekode is a licensed UAE furniture retailer with free return shipping, a clear 24-hour cancellation window, and specific, well-documented damage-reporting requirements.
Its return window is unusually short at 2-3 days, and Cash on Delivery buyers should know their refund comes back only as store credit, not cash, so weigh your payment method and inspection timeline before ordering.

How this review was put together
This is a desk-research review. We have not purchased furniture from Homekode. Policies come from homekode.com, checked 30 Oct 2026; the storefront region-restricts non-UAE automated access, which prevented us from independently confirming specific pricing or capturing a live screenshot, so we used our own branded summary card instead of a site screenshot and disclose that gap rather than guess at pricing. We wrote our own text. We did not review the brand's affiliate programme terms.
