What happens if I change my mind after ordering?

  

Your order is considered a special order. Manufacturers will not accept a cancellation after it has been placed into production on made to order items or if the item has left the manufacturer on in stock items. Manufacturers will not take returns. Should you wish to cancel or change an order we will do out best to comply with your request but our ability to cancel of change your order will depend on our ability to change or cancel the order with the manufacturer.

At UptownLeather.Com we strive to provide you with your greatest furniture value and the most competitive pricing. Most furniture retailers and particularly online furniture retailers do not accept cancellations of special orders. At our discretion and withn 30 days from receipt we will accept a cancellation of an in stock item that has been shipped or a made to order item that has been placed into production. A canceled order of this type is costly and often involves shipment from the manufacturer, delivery charges by a specialized nationwide delivery service, warehousing, clearance discounting and redelivery charges. To cover our cost there will be a 25% restocking fee plus a delivery charge. Most of our products are offered with free shipping, so please be aware that if you return one of these products our actual shipping costs will be deducted from your return refund. Items damaged due to improper use cannot be returned.

After you receive your order confirmation we allow our customers 72 hours to review their order and make any needed changes. Thereafter the order is considered "as ordered" and is noncancelable except under the terms as outlined above.


The delivery service does reserve the right to repair or replace an item that has transit damage at their discretion. Similarly the manufacturer does reserve the right to repair or replace a defective item at their discretion. Be assured you will receive a like new repair or replacement. We cannot accept a cancellation of a damaged or defective item except under the guidelines of our policy stated above.

All returned products must be in original condition and packaging. Unfortunately, we cannot take returns of products that have been assembled or modified. Additionally, certain products cannot be returned because neither we, nor our suppliers can take them back. Mattresses for example are not returnable, once they are shipped due to local and state regulations. If you have any questions about whether a product can be returned, please give us a call. Clearance items are sold as is and are not subject to return except if found damaged or defective upon delivery. 

If you refuse an order, it will then fall under our standard return policy, where actual shipping and restocking fees will be deducted from your refund.

Damages

Top

What if my furniture is damaged on delivery?
It is rare that an item is damaged on delivery but on occasion it does occur. There are two types of damage, transportation damage and manufacturer's defects.


Top


Transportation Damage: The delivery service is responsible for damage that occurs during transportation. It is important that you inspect your order carefully prior to you or your representative signing the bill of lading as received in good condition. If the item has transportation damage as opposed to a manufactures defect do not accept the item. If the item is damaged and not defective note this on the bill of laden and refuse the damaged item, accept other items in good condition. We will assist you in the repair or replacement of the damaged item but transit damage is the responsibility of the delivery service and not UptownLeather.Com. If you accept an item as received in good condition you are accepting the item as is. You cannot make a claim for transportation damage after you have signed for an item as received in good condition.

Manufacturers Defects:

Manufacturers inspect their furniture during the manufacturing process. On some occasions their may be a defect that was missed by the manufacturers quality control. This type of damage is not the result of transportation or handling. If you feel that your item has a manufacturers defect please contact us so we may assist you. Your furniture is warranted by the manufacturer and not UptownLeather.Com. Many items have manufacturers warranties that exceed the industry average. Generally an in home repair service or even the driver can repair your furniture, but in some cases the item may have to be returned to the delivery service restoration facility for repair or replacement. Often times the manufacture will require photographs of the defective item and a written description. Manufacturers do not offer refunds or discounts on defective items. They will be willing to repair or replace the item. Whether an item is repaired or replaced will be determined by the manufacturer and our staff. In any case you will receive an item back that is in like new condition. In is important to note that furniture is made by hand of natural products. For example leather grains and coloration's may vary from the online photographs or even the swatches your received. There may also be sizing variations from our published dimensions. Variations are to be expected and are not considered defects. Remember that you or your agent will be asked to sign the Bill of Lading as received in good condition. Inspect your furniture carefully. If your item has a manufacturers defect at the time of delivery refuse the defective item only. Please also call us if you find a defect.

It is unlikely that your furniture will have a  defect or damage, our damage rate is less than 1%.  Furniture that has a defect or has been damaged can take from 3-10 weeks to be repaired or replaced and returned to you.

What if I can't be home for the delivery?
If you have asked someone else to receive your furniture such as a friend, one of your children, a relative, your nanny, your gatekeper, your contractor, your decorator, your building supervisor or your housekeeper this person will then be acting on your behalf and will be your authorized agent. If they sign the Bill of Lading as received in good condition it will considered as received in good condition.

Price Matching

Your furniture is made by hand and there can be variations.
As a result it is typical to expect some variation on colors and finishes. Upholstered furniture both leather and fabric are bench made by craftsman, as a result of this you can expect some sizing variation. Similarly some fabrics and leather upholstery, particularly Aniline dyed leather may vary in coloration and texture from the online photographs or the samples you may have received. This is what makes each item unique. Unless the manufacturer made a color or finish error this is not considered a manufacturers defect and we cannot accept a return for this reason.
