Delivery
products and orders
When you make a purchase, the product page on our website will specify its availability. It's important to be aware that unless explicitly stated otherwise, each product is crafted on demand. This means that occasional discrepancies or alterations may arise, such as shortages of raw materials.
If, after placing an order, the marble option for a product becomes unavailable, Aprils Form will promptly notify the customer. At that point, the customer will have the choice to either replace the ordered product with an alternative one or to cancel the order and receive a refund. This policy ensures transparency and flexibility in the event of unforeseen circumstances affecting the availability of specific options.
Aprils Form is pleased to accommodate custom shipping requests for international deliveries beyond the USA and Canada. If you'd like to receive a quote and proceed with your international order, kindly reach out to us at hello@aprilsform.com, and we will respond promptly.
Delivery
We offer two delivery options to accommodate your needs: Door Delivery and White Glove Delivery. Once an order is placed, you can choose between these options at checkout.
- Choosing a Delivery Option: When placing your order, you can select either Door Delivery (curbside) or White Glove Delivery (includes inside delivery, placement, and debris removal). If you choose White Glove Delivery, there will be an additional fee, which will be outlined during the checkout process.
- Changing Delivery Options During Production: You may switch your delivery option while your custom marble furniture is still in production. This can be done by contacting our customer service team. If switching from Door Delivery to White Glove Delivery or vice versa during this period, no additional administrative fee will be applied, but you will still be responsible for the cost difference between the two services.
- Changes After Production (Before Delivery): If you wish to change your delivery method after production has completed and the item is en route to our distribution warehouse, there will be an administrative charge. This is because we use separate warehouses and delivery agents for Door Delivery and White Glove Delivery. This administrative fee is separate from the cost difference between the two delivery methods.
- Changes to delivery options after the item is already en route to the final delivery destination may not be possible. If the option is available, the administrative fee and delivery cost adjustments will apply.
- We encourage you to finalize your preferred delivery method during the ordering process to avoid any additional fees.
If you are considering White glove delivery, prior to placing an order, it is crucial to measure every entryway leading into your home, as it is your responsibility to ensure that the items will fit. If you reside in a building with an elevator, please verify that the items can fit into the elevator as well. This is particularly crucial when ordering stone furniture as these items are heavy and often pose challenges for home entry. If delivery is unsuccessful due to inadequate access, a return delivery charge will be applicable, and the customer is responsible for covering the cost of the return shipping back to the warehouse. Items that cannot be delivered are subject to our return policy.
For any questions or assistance in changing your delivery option, please contact us at your earliest convenience.
At Aprils Form, we understand that plans can change, and we aim to accommodate such changes to the best of our ability. However, to ensure the smooth operation and delivery of your orders, we have established the following policy regarding address changes:
- Before Shipment to Warehouse: Address changes are permissible at no additional cost while your order is still in production. We encourage you to review and confirm your delivery address at the time of ordering and notify us as soon as possible if a change is needed.
- After Shipment to Warehouse: Once your order has been shipped to our warehouse, a fee of $200 will be applied for any address changes requested more than six weeks after the original order date or if the status of order is in the "Shipping to Warehouse" stage. This fee covers the administrative and logistical costs that are put in place by our logistics partners.
To request an address change, please contact our customer service team at hello@aprilsform.com with your order number and the new address details. Our team will guide you through the process and inform you of any applicable fees.
