Shipping & Handling

ByCloudia will assist customers in determining the best method of shipment for their items. Shipping options include local delivery, White Glove shipping providers, and crating services. ByCloudia will coordinate with customers and third party shipping providers in order to deliver your items swiftly and safely. If you are setting up your own shipping, please beware of shipping companies that are not insured and bonded. Free shipping in the Austin metro area.

By completing a purchase through ByCloudia you acknowledge that responsibility of your purchase transfers to the Third Party delivery provider of your choice at the time of pickup.

USPS & UPS Shipping:

Items that are eligible for shipping via UPS or USPS will be mailed within 5 days of payment. Items will be insured.

Please understand that delays in shipments via USPS or UPS are not the fault of ByCloudia. If you would like to ensure an item arrives by a certain date, we will assist with expedited delivery. Items that are returned to us due to incorrect delivery addresses, will be charged a shipping fee again in order to reship. Items that are lost in the mail or stolen following delivery are not the responsibility of ByCloudia, nor can we be held liable for replacing the item. We will happily assist in filing a claim with the mail provider. Clients are responsible for any insurance deductibles involved with an insurance claim.Answer

Returns

Buyers have 48 hours after delivery to inspect their item(s) and contact hello@bycloudia.life if they wish to return an item. The buyer is responsible for the outbound and return shipping charges, and they will be deducted from the buyer's original purchase price + taxes if applicable.

For Parcel returns, buyers are responsible for packaging and shipping the return within three business days after the return shipping label is received. The buyer may also be responsible for the packing charges incurred by the seller. Buyers may not be reimbursed for returns that are not received in original condition.

To make sure both the Buyer and the Seller are satisfied, ByCloudia collects payment from the Buyer at the time of purchase and only releases payment to the Seller after the 48-hour Return Policy window has expired.

When contacting us to initiate a return, please include:

The reason for the return
Your order # (you can find this in your order confirmation email)
Your phone number
If the item arrived damaged, photos of the damaged item and packaging

Once we review your return request, we will contact you with further instructions.

Each returned item must be received in original condition. We reserve the right to deduct for any damage that may have occurred not related to transportation. A refund of the purchase amount, less any charges for which the buyer is responsible, will be processed upon confirmation that the item has been safely returned to the seller.

If you have any hesitation prior to purchase or would like more details, we would love to share more photos and answer any questions. ByCloudia neither assumes nor offers any warranty on vintage, or refinished/reupholstered items after items leave our showroom.Answer
