Free Shipping
All of our products are qualified for free shipping to 48 contiguous states. Once your merchandise is ready to ship, we will provide you with an estimated shipping date, based on information from shipping lines, trucking carriers, and other delivery agents.
All free shipping is for curbside delivery to your delivery address, unless you have chosen white glove delivery when placing your order. In furniture industry, curbside delivery means the trucking service will park in front of your delivery address and unload your merchandise at your curb. There you receive the product.
If you need the driver’s assistance bringing your product to your garage or inside your home or office, this service is offered by independent third party delivery carriers or contractors and can be arranged for an additional fee.
Please use a valid street address for delivery of your order. It is your responsibility that the furniture dimensions allow for easy delivery through doorways, passageways, stairways or any other way as you deem fit, and will fit into the living space of your choice.
For Hawaii and Alaska, Canada and other countries, the extra fees will be assessed upon delivery. Any additional taxes, brokerage fees and shipping costs associated with shipping to another country, outside of the USA, will be charged to the customer. All users acknowledge the 4-6 week estimated delivery time is merely an estimate. Sometimes orders may take longer than the estimated 4-6 week delivery.
Washingtonian Furniture will make a good faith effort to expedite merchandise, however delays from outside manufacturers, carriers and shippers may occur.
Damages
All products are fully inspected and in perfect condition before being shipped out. When the merchandise is received, we ask that you inspect the inside and outside of the cartons for any shipping damage. In the event there is noticeable damage (even if it is only slight) to the cartons, contents, or packaging, or you receive the incorrect product, please write" Damaged in Transit" when you sign for receiving delivery, and report the damage to us within 24 hours. This is VERY important. If you do not write this on the freight bill and contact us, we cannot guarantee that your delivery will be repaired, replaced, or otherwise remedied. If you return a damaged item without receiving authorization from us, the return will not be accepted and you will be responsible for the cost to reship the item. Failure to write "DAMAGED IN TRANSIT" will release Washingtonian Furniture from all damage liabilities. Washingtonian Furniture is only responsible for the damaged or missing item and not the other non-damaged, or non-missing pieces.
If your order is damaged you must email us a clear picture showing the damage within 24 hours of receiving your order. Please also retain the original packaging unless otherwise directed by our customer service department. Once the carrier picks up the item and brings it back to our distribution facility, you may either re-order the unusable, damaged, defective or incorrect product, at no charge, or receive a full refund.
If any parts of the merchandise are missing, contact us and you may conveniently request replacement parts via a support ticket. If you decide you do not want part replacement, the merchandise can be returned under our standard return policy.
Cancellation Policy
If you choose to cancel your order after it has been placed within 24 hours, you are eligible for a full refund. All cancellations must be communicated to us via email and sent to customerservice@washingtonianfurniture.com. Please note that for a full refund, you must email us within 24 hours of purchase, including weekend purchases.
Return Policy
If you are simply unhappy with the product customers may return any item within 60 days of delivery. Most other stores will charge 20%-30% of a re-stocking fee, but we waive it for you. Although your furniture is shipped to you for free at our cost, we do not charge you back for our outbound shipping expense. And you would not be charged for shipping handling fee either. But in fairness, you would be responsible for return trip shipping fees. You would be given a refund via check less the return shipping fees. All returns must be returned in their original packaging, and make sure that the merchandise is in the same condition. Washingtonian Furniture will refund via Check or direct deposit.
Non-Returnable Items
· Custom orders (i.e. products that are built-to-order or personalized in any way)
· Items that are not in original condition.
· Items that are not in the original box with sufficient packaging materials.
· Large quantities or project quotations: When ordering large quantities or special orders for large projects, we suggest ordering a sample for evaluation, as some manufacturers will not allow returns on large quantities.
Items that Do Not Fit: In the event the furniture does not fit into your room or house, the delivery company will not return the merchandise without an authorization from Washingtonian Furniture. This item can be returned under our Standard Return Policy.
Trademarks
All trademarks, service marks and trade names of Washingtonian Furniture used in the site are trademarks or registered trademarks of Washingtonian Furniture.
Warranty & Cancellation Disclaimer
By agreeing to these terms and conditions, you recognize that our estimated arrival times are purely estimates and we do not, in anyway, guarantee any delivery date. Returns from non-customized items, not due to defect or damage within 60 days of delivery, merits the customer to pay return trip shipping charges. Orders that are canceled within 24 hours after being placed will merit a full refund. Our 1 year manufacturer guarantee does not apply to product defects resulting from weather conditions (applicable for outdoor furniture). Customized orders (any change to the color, direction or configuration) can absolutely not be canceled for any reason 24 hours after being placed. If the customer is making a claim of defect, we will need to see clear documentation (i.e. photos) showing the defect. If there is in fact a manufacturer defect, the defective item will be re-ordered from the manufacturer. We cannot guarantee the exact dimensions of our products. Due to the manufacturing process, it is possible that there can be slight differences in the quoted vs actual dimensions.
Colors/Shades/Inspections
When changing the color of your sofa or sectional, the color that you choose, unless otherwise stated, will be applied to the complete sofa or sectional (this includes all pillows). We do not guarantee color, tone, shades, or finishes on any item because screen settings may vary from computer to computer. For the best depiction of item color, set your screen so that other items in the picture seem to be in their natural color. If you are trying to match items with other items you already have, you must do so at your own risk. Please read our return policies before making a purchase. Additionally, when purchasing items made with leather please be advised that color shades can vary from dye lot to dye lot. If you believe there is a color discrepancy, and you are receiving a large item, such as a sofa or sectional sofa that requires in-home delivery, you MUST write in the discrepancy on the delivery receipt. Failure to do so will release Washingtonian Furniture of all liability.
A manufacturer defect or color related issue can be filed within 14 days of receipt of merchandise. If our inspectors confirm there is a quality related defect, or substantial color difference, you may re-place the original order at no charge, or receive a full refund.
