RETURNS, CANCELLATIONS, EXCHANGES, SHIPPING & LOCAL DELIVERY POLICIES


 

SHIPPING INFORMATION & LOCAL DELIVERY

Our in-stock orders take about 3-7 business days to reach a customer depending on location and any weather / shipping delays out our control. Any custom orders will take approximately 4-10 weeks (we will update you on any changes).

Shipments are made to continental U.S. locations only.

Please note delivery costs can be quoted ahead of time as price given in our cart is apprx for most items over 20lbs and depending on locations, please call or send an email for a quote prior to purchasing.

We use USPS, UPS or FedEx for smaller items, and larger items will ship ground freight. We reserve the right to choose which freight way carries your shipment. We do not, however, control the shipping companies (freight or UPS). Once a shipment is in the hands of the delivery company, we cannot change shipping addresses, we cannot make a delivery happen on a certain day, and we can only approximate delivery times as we only have the information the delivery company makes available to us. Please understand that our staff would love to have more direct control over shipments so that we could ensure an amazing customer service experience every time.

All shipments, unless specifically denoted, are curb-side shipments. All larger shipments, shipped via freight carrier, will require a signature at the time of delivery. If you authorize the shipping company to leave the delivery without a signature, The Garden District can not be held responsible for damages that may occur during delivery.

Remote or hard-to-reach areas may incur additional shipping fees.  It is the customers responsibility to inform us of any problems with this type of delivery at the time of purchase. The Garden District is not responsible for shipping costs on merchandise not delivered due to a shipping companies inability to deliver to a particular location. Certain circumstances may include but are not limited to: narrow or winding roads, dirt or gravel roads, and vacant establishments. In-home delivery is neither implied nor offered without additional charge, and is not necessarily available even if the customer is willing to pay more for it.

 

If an item is shipped and returned because it is not deliverable due to an incorrect address, the customer will be responsible for shipping both ways. Orders for larger items that must ship freight require the shipping company to contact the customer prior to delivery. If the product is returned because the freight company could not reach the customer, this will be considered a return, and the order will be subject to our regular return policies.

Shipping Outside of the Continental U.S.

At this time we do not ship outside the continental US.

Local deliveries

All local deliveries must be scheduled with us within 48-72 hrs of your purchase after the order is processed which is usually 24-48 hrs after receipt. We advise to email us or text us with contact person, full address and a delivery day. ( we are unable to confirm exact time of delivery as this varies, but we will try to provide a 4-6 hr. window for the delivery when possible and contact you 30 min to 1 hr before).

Please advise that someone must be available to receive the items in person and sign for them. We are not responsible if the location is not able to accommodate the delivery on the day of delivery, we will be happy to re-deliver for an additional fee. Please contact us if you need a re-delivery. 

All other applicable exchange & return information still applies as mentioned above on shipped items.
