Changes to your Order(s)
To avoid any extra fees, in case you want to make any changes / modifications to your order (for example, add and/or remove item(s) or cancel your order, whether in full or in part, please make sure to do so ONLY within twenty four (24) hours from the time of the order. Upon expiration of said 24-hour window, you may be liable for any extra fees/charges/costs, including, but not limited to, restocking fee(s), shipping back costs, unloading from/loading back into the truck costs, warehouse labor costs (whether hourly and/or fixed), labelling costs, truck fees, gas surcharge(s), etc. in regards to any and/or all change(s) / modification(s) to and/or cancellation of your order(s).

Order Cancellation(s)
Since we are committed to our customers, we implement expedited order processing. With that in mind, there is a 24-hour (from the time of the order) limitation to cancel it - we will not charge the card for 24 hours from the time of the order. To ensure customer satisfaction, when contacting us after hours, please send us an e-mail + text message or leave a voice mail. Such 2-step verification of cancellation will ensure that we do not place the order with the manufacturer and, thus, avoid restocking and/or other applicable fee(s). If cancelled later than 24 hours from the time of purchase, a 25% restocking fee plus applicable shipping and storage costs (approximately $60 - $120) may be charged. Order cannot be cancelled once prepared for shipment or shipped. If your order cannot be cancelled as requested for any of the above reasons, we will send an e-mail with a detailed explanation. If this is the case, and you do not want to receive the merchandise, you may return it under our 30-Day Standard Return Policy. Otherwise, if your order has been successfully cancelled, we will initiate a refund to the original payment method. Usually, it takes 7-10 business days for the refund to post to your bank account. Cancellations may be made either via e-mail or phone (followed by e-mail order cancellation request). Most cancellation requests are reviewed and responded within 1-3 business days. If your payment is made in the form of cash in our showroom (1440 S Anaheim Blvd C2) and you would like to cancel your order, please call us, email us or inform the store staff of your cancellation request. Most cancellation requests are processed within 1-2 days, in some rare cases longer. Once and if your request is approved, we will provide a refund within 7-10 days. You will have the option to pick up cash, or we can offer you a check mailed back to you. Not all refund requests will be approved.

Damaged or Defective Merchandise
Our priority is to make sure that you are fully satisfied with your order. However, in extremely rare cases some products may arrive damaged. In such an unlikely event we will do our best to expedite delivery of a replacement at no extra cost to you. We recommend to fully inspect all packages at the time of delivery or store pick-up, whatever is applicable. If found, any clear damage to the packaging / product and/or any discrepancies to the order must be noted on our delivery paperwork or, if it’s a store pick-up, communicated to our store rep. Such note will allow us to provide you with a free replacement.

Product shall be considered damaged and/or defective if it has visible scratches, dents, water spots, or any other evidence of impact or mishandling. However, this shall not apply to the so called “scratches” and “dents” that are normal for this type of product (for example, some products made of wood may have “dents” and/or “scratches” implemented by the manufacturer for the purpose of achieving a unique look). We recommend to inspect boxes at the time of delivery / pick-up and make respective notes in the delivery paperwork as detailed in Shipping Policy and immediately communicate any issues via e-mail (please make sure to attach supporting digital images clearly showing such issue) with detailed explanation of the problem. Upon receipt of such e-mail we will contact the manufacturer and request an expedited replacement. If no notes of any damage are made in delivery paperwork, any damages, defects and/or imperfections will be considered “homemade” and the item will no longer qualify for a free replacement or refund. We shall not be responsible or otherwise liable in regards to any “homemade” damage.

Please feel free to call 714-909-0460 to report any damages or defects to the merchandise that you ordered from us.

Backorders and Discontinued Products
