SHIPPING​

​

You deserve the best, and so does our product. That’s why we’ve worked to determine the best, most efficient shipping methods to get you the goods. We are a small business and you are emailing a real person.

DOMESTIC SHIPPING

 

Design Vault will contract shipping through a range of third-party providers, with furniture delivery time to most locations within the contiguous US states of 10-15 business days, but in rare circumstances, up to 4 weeks. We are not responsible for any shipping charges paid to third parties. 

​

It is the buyer’s responsibility to inspect upon delivery, and to refuse receipt of any items not in satisfactory condition. If using a third-party receiver, clients acknowledge the receiving party takes full responsibility for the condition of pieces at the point of delivery if no defects are documented directly with the carrier. On request, customers may also coordinate their own shipping directly with the carrier of their choice by making all arrangements for pick-up and packaging requirements. Carriers arranged by customers take responsibility for item condition at the point of pick-up.

​

PRE-ORDERS

​

A pre-order is the purchase of an item not currently in stock at our warehouse. Every pre-order item has an estimated arrival date to our warehouse in Dallas, TX. Any product purchased on pre-order will be reserved for the buyer and shipped out or scheduled for white glove delivery (depending on the size and nature of the piece) after the product has arrived to our warehouse. Please expect delivery within 1-4 weeks after the estimated arrival date listed on the product page.

​

ORDER HOLDS

​

Design Vault will only hold orders of in-stock products up to 30 days. The 30 day hold time will apply to pre-orders and custom furniture beginning after the first notification for delivery or pick-up.

​

SCHEDULING DELIVERY

​

Our Operations Team will be in touch to schedule white glove delivery once your products are ready to go (1-7 days in advance). If you have specific delivery requests or instructions, please note these on your order at time of purchase. Smaller items are often sent via UPS. These deliveries are not scheduled, but tracking will be shared to the email you provide once your order is sent out.

UPHOLSTERY
​
For reupholstery, clients acknowledge that yardage quotes are provided to the best of our ability without shorting the piece in question. Due to volume and space constraints, Design Vault will not be responsible for the handling and return of excess client fabric. Deposits made for any work are not refundable if an order is cancelled. If an order is cancelled before shipment, that deposit or payment will be returned to the customer as a store credit which can be used for future purchases at Design Vault.
