DELIVERY
Velvet Moss provides delivery of merchandise through a number of different third-party delivery services. Velvet Moss is only a facilitator between the customer purchasing the merchandise and the delivery service being used. Velvet Moss is not an agent for either and has no liability with respect to the delivery service. However, in the event an item arrives damaged or incorrect, Velvet Moss will coordinate a replacement, credit or refund based on circumstances.
Delivery charges will not be refunded for returned merchandise. If a customer requires a return delivery/pick-up the standard delivery fee will apply. Refused orders are subject to return freight & any applicable restocking fees. Delivery charges are not refundable for unsuccessful attempts (ie customers who are not at a delivery address during agreed date/time or for merchandise, or for orders which do not fit into building or residence) or for approved/pick-ups.
For deliveries, customers must sign a “Proof of Delivery Note” that ensures that all items have been inspected prior to signing and were received in good condition. Should any item arrive damaged - it MUST be noted on the proof of delivery note. Once the “Proof of “Delivery Note” has been signed stating the merchandise arrived in good condition – Velvet Moss will not be responsible for any repairs, replacements, exchanges or returns of any kind. It is the customer’s or customer’s receiving person’s responsibility to inspect each item thoroughly at the time of delivery and note any irregularities. Issues found after the delivery service has left will be the responsibility of the customers.
All items must be paid-in-full before the delivery is scheduled.
DELIVERY POSTPONEMENT & STORAGE FEES
The customer agrees to accept delivery or arrange a pickup within 30 days of the order being available. After 30 days of the order being available for delivery or pick-up, the customer understands and agrees to a 5% storage fee per month for the retail cost of any and all goods until the items are picked up or delivered.
