DELIVERY INFO

At VLP, we take pride in the manufacturing of our furniture. It is our goal to deliver your purchase to you in the quickest and most efficient way possible. All our products are fully packaged for safe transit and will be handled by professional third-party delivery carriers.

We work with multiple specialist delivery partners to ensure your order reaches you safely and on time. This may result in your order having multiple shipments from separate delivery partners. Kindly note that shipping cost is calculated per shipment (not per total order), based on the warehouse location that your product(s) is shipped from. Speed of delivery depends on the type of product, product availability, and proximity to metropolitan areas. To help you with your purchasing decision, you may find out more about delivery lead times on each individual product page.

You may enter your zip code on any product page to check if we deliver to your area. If your area is currently unavailable, we recommend to contact our help center to stay informed about our latest updates on support@vlpfurniture.com

All shipments are delivered Monday to Friday between 9:00 am and 5:00 pm, with specified hours on Saturdays in selected cities (at an additional charge). If you wish to request to see if a Saturday delivery is possible for your area, please reach out to us before your order has been processed. Kindly note, not all requests can be fulfilled.

Please note that it is your responsibility to check that your items will fit through doors, staircases and elevators in their packaging before you place your order. Product and package dimensions are included in the product description on our website. Failed delivery due to inability to access your home will result in additional delivery charges.

Please note that while we may be able to have your order shipped to a freight forwarder, once the shipment is in their hands, VLP is released of all responsibility for issues that may arise during and as a result of the freight forwarding process.

SHIPPING FEES AND LOCATIONS

Flat Rate Shipping Per Shipment

Shipping fees are charged per shipment, not per order, and are fixed at flat rates depending on shipment value as well as delivery location.

A friendly reminder that for orders with multiple items, dependent upon each item’s estimated delivery, there may be multiple shipments per order. Shipping fees are calculated based on your location and order subtotal. Total shipping fees charged will be indicated during the checkout process, after processing the number of shipments required based on estimated delivery of all your items.

RECEIVING ITEMS

For security purposes, our delivery partners may verify your photo ID prior to the unloading of the products. Failure to comply with verification requests will be considered as refusing delivery, the item(s) will be returned to the warehouse, and a service fee will be charged. If you choose to reschedule, a secondary delivery fee will be applied.

Upon delivery, you or a third party appointed by you shall inspect the item(s) carefully before our delivery partner leaves the premises. Any damaged or defective items must be noted on the proof of delivery and reported to VLP within 7 days of delivery.

VLP reserves the right in its absolute discretion to determine whether a product or a component of a product has failed due to a defect or wear and tear. Such replacement or repair is offered by VLP at its sole discretion. In the event that an exchange for the defective piece cannot be arranged, VLP reserves the right to offer a substitute or full refund. All repair or replacement of item(s) will depend on inventory availability. VLP shall not be liable for any consequences (whether direct or indirect) of the delay in the delivery of the goods and no such delay shall entitle the customer to treat this agreement as being repudiated by VLP or to any comparison.

SIGNING OF PROOF OF DELIVERY RECEIPT (POD)

A POD is not simply a receipt of delivery, but an acknowledgment that the goods arrived intact. All too often, PODs are signed without inspecting your delivery.

We advise confirming that the shipment was intended for you, that the entire order has been delivered, and that it was delivered undamaged.

Anything not indicated on this form before signature will result in VLP being unable to authorize any damage claims after your driver has left.

Please follow this checklist we have created for you to follow before the Point of Delivery (POD) is signed:

Checklist:
1. Please check all cartons for visible damage.
2. Please confirm you have received the correct items as per the POD and the delivery order.
3. If you have White Glove delivery: Please wait until all items have been assembled and there is no visible damage to the items. Then sign off on POD.
4. If there is serious damage to a carton point it out to the delivery driver.
5. If there is damage: Please take photos of the damage and cartons.
6. Please indicate any property damage caused by delivery on the POD. We will need to photographs and video footage of the damage occurring to document the damage.

After you’ve gone through your entire shipment and documented any issues, you may obtain the driver’s signature or initials next to your notes about the damaged items on the POD.

*Please do not dispose cartons until the issue is resolved.

‘Estimated Delivery’ lead-times shown on each product page indicate the estimated date range you can expect the item to arrive at your delivery location. This lead time includes time taken for stock movement from manufacturing locations to our warehouse (this includes factors such as whether an item is made-to-order), and last mile delivery to your door.

Simply enter your zip code on any product page to see an estimate of when you can expect to receive the item. Please note that these dates are an estimate and may be subject to potential unforeseen delays.
