SECTION 30 – SHIPPING RATES

Standard Delivery

Most items on Rouse Home ship at no additional cost and are noted as “Free Shipping” on their product detail page. Standard Delivery offers doorstep delivery of your order in its original packaging. Keep in mind if you live in an apartment or condominium complex, this delivery option will only deliver your items as far as the front entrance of your building. This service level does not include delivery inside your home, unpacking and/or assembly. If you require additional service with the delivery of your purchase, we suggest choosing our White Glove Delivery Service option.

White Glove Delivery – $199 (one item). $100 for each additional White Glove Delivery eligible item. 

Our premium White Glove Delivery service includes a scheduled appointment from one of our certified white glove delivery teams, placement of the item into your room of choice, light assembly (for instance, attach legs or insert hardware), and disposal of the packaging materials. Our White Glove Delivery Service teams are not bonded or insured for any wall mounting, structural modifications or electrical work.

Freight Fees 

If your order does not qualify for free shipping, any associated shipping costs will be listed in cart.

 

SECTION 31 – RESCHEDULING

We understand timing is important, so if you need to reschedule the date, contact the delivery provider as soon as possible at the phone number listed in your order confirmation. We request a 48-hour notice if you want to reschedule or cancel delivery. Additional fees will incur if you reschedule less than 48 hours prior to delivery, if no one is home when the delivery team arrives, or if you change your delivery address after an item ships. If delivery does not take place within 30 days of the original scheduled delivery date, the order may be treated as a canceled order. 

 

SECTION 32 – THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT WHITE GLOVE DELIVERY

Shortly before the arrival date, our delivery service will contact you to schedule a delivery appointment. Items will not be delivered without an appointment.

Deliveries are made Monday through Friday 8am-5pm. Weekend delivery is not available.

Please make sure an adult 18 or older will be home during the delivery window. The delivery window may vary depending on your location. Usually there is a four-hour window, but sometimes it is greater.

The delivery service cannot make any modifications to your home. Please measure your space (doorways, elevators, stairways, etc.) before buying the item to ensure it will fit into your home. If the item doesn’t fit, it will be sent back to us. Return shipping charges will be deducted from the amount of your refund. The original shipping charges will not be refunded.

If you’ve purchased multiple items shipping via White Glove Delivery, you may have multiple delivery appointments with different delivery companies. We work with several delivery companies, depending on the type of product and where it’s located.

Please contact us at 888-339-1453 if there could be any delivery challenges at your home such as multiple flights of stairs or a narrow or long driveway. Additional charges may apply.

 

SECTION 33 –  ADDITIONAL SHIPPING CHARGES

Some of our items require additional charges to ensure they arrive at your home in safe and sound condition. Artwork, lighting, glass and delicate items may need to be securely carted and packaged, and glass lampshades may require special handling fees. Any additional shipping charge above our standard shipping cost is noted on the product page as a “delivery surcharge”.

Any changes to the shipping address after an item has shipped or missed delivery appointments will incur additional charges.

 

SECTION 34 – MULTIPLE SHIPMENTS

If you have a large order and one item is going to cause a delay or is backordered, we may ship your order in multiple shipments. You will not pay any extra shipping charges for the extra shipment(s).

 

SECTION 35 – SHIPPING TIME FRAMES

Estimated ship times are located on each product page and indicate when an item ships from the warehouse. Due to the custom nature of many of our items, delivery lead times will vary. It is important to note that these are estimated shipping times and are subject to availability of products and/or manufacturer’s availability. If a product you have ordered is out of stock or on backorder, we will contact you with a shipment date and you can decide to either keep the order as is, cancel the item or cancel the entire order. Occasionally issues arise that may lead to additional production time, such as our manufacturers experiencing a backup in production. If this is the case you will be alerted as soon as we are made aware that a problem exists. If you need to verify stock information and availability prior to placing your order, please contact customer service at customercare@rousehome.com.
