To be clear, "free" return shipping is not actually free! It just appears that way but the shipping company still charges a fee to the business, and the product price is raised to compensate. That means free return shipping may not be so free after all, as you’re actually paying the shipping cost in the product price. And you may be thinking the retailers are doing you the favour. Quite a clever trick, really.Â
Work much harder to reduce our costs. First and foremost, we offer the best curated collections in the market. We continuously find better ways to explain every detail in a language you understand, rather than relying on manufacturers' descriptions. Our product pages are visually stunning, and we are always available to personally respond to your inquiries, ensuring you make the most informed decisions. Additionally, we offer free consultations with our professional interior designer when needed.
We also cover the shipping costs to your door. When extra protection is necessary, we opt to ship on wooden pallets, despite the higher cost. This commitment to quality is why our return request rates have been less than 1% for consecutive years—because we always exceed expectations.
To deliver the highest quality products at the most affordable prices. After all, isn't this the essence of online shopping?

We accept no-remorse returns only when all conditions below are met:
Not returnable: final sale / marked non-returnable items, gift cards, assembled/used items, modified items, or items without original packaging/protection.
Important: If the return arrives damaged due to insufficient packaging or shipping damage, the return may be rejected or store credit may be reduced based on the condition received.

Why 24 hours? Courier claims often require timely reporting. Late reports may limit what we can claim from the courier.
Depending on product type and vendor availability, we may provide replacement parts, replacement item, or a practical resolution such as a retouch/repair solution. If a return is required for a verified defect/damage and replacement cannot be provided, we will confirm the next steps and whether return shipping is covered for that case.
