Order Changes & Cancellations
We try our best to meet delivery dates. Anticipated dates for special orders and non-stocking items are estimates and cannot be guaranteed. They are based upon our historical experience with each vendor and delays may occur due to factors beyond our control (e.g. Manufacturing delays, Transportation delays, shortages of raw goods). Please know that we will continue to do everything we can to get your items shipped to you as soon as possible, but due to circumstances outside of our control we are not able to accept returns or cancellations for delayed shipments. We do our best to keep up-to-date information on all our products to help you make informed decisions while purchasing. We welcome you to contact us prior to purchasing with any questions so we can help you with selecting the perfect piece or to discuss lead times.
Please contact us within 24 hours of placing your order should you need to cancel or modify it.
For backordered items we will communicate with you on the lead time at the time of ordering. Once estimated timelines have been communicated to you, these items are not eligible for cancellation or modification after 24hrs. If the order has already been shipped from our warehouse or the manufacturer, we are unable to cancel or make changes, even if you have not yet received your tracking number. Special order/Custom orders cannot be modified or canceled after 24 hours of placing your order.
DAMAGES + MANUFACTURER DEFECTS
Damage/Defects are subject to inspection and approval and need to be reported within the first 24hrs of receiving the item. Claims with our manufacturers can take up to 1-4 weeks for a resolution. It is required that you keep all original packaging until claim has been resolved.
Please note natural materials including wood and marble have variations and their imperfections are not considered defects but rather the organic nature of the material. Solid wood adapts to the climate in your home, it can shift size and cause cracking, this is not necessarily a defect in the product, but rather the nature of the material. Please ensure your home humidity level is kept at a minimum of 40% to not void any manufacturer warranty with wood products.
With fabric items, pilling is not considered a manufacturing defect.
Unfortunately, damages are sometimes incurred in transit. Please follow closely for instructions.
For a small or large item with concealed damage please take several clear photos of the damaged product, original packaging, and packing materials in the box (foam, bubble wrap) that were used for protection.
For a large item with damaged packaging please inspect it thoroughly and report to the delivery driver any damages (tear, dents, etc.) to the box, take several photos and ensure the driver records damages prior to signing for the delivery. *If you do not make note of visible damage on the package, we cannot be responsible for product damage and may not be able to complete a replacement or credit.
For manufacturing defects, timelines vary depending on claim and manufacturer. The limitation for submitting these claims varies from 6-12 months from date of delivery. Please contact us for any questions you may have regarding manufacturer warranty on the item of interest.
RETURN SHIPPING
If you are returning an item, the return shipping is the responsibility of the customer and our initial shipping costs will be deducted from your total refund amount. We do not offer return shipping labels. Please note our actual shipping costs are often higher than what we charge directly to our customers.
