DELIVERY & SHIPPING
SHIPPING IS NOT INCLUDED WITH ANY CUSTOM ORDER, IN-STOCK FURNITURE ORDER OR HOME DECOR ITEMS.
▪️CLIENTS ARRANGE DELIVERY: JENNIFER VITALIA DESIGN IS AN ARTISTIC SERVICE WITH NO AFFILIATION WITH ANY DELIVERY COMPANY, RECEIVES NO COMPENSATION FOR REFERRALS, HAS NO CONTROL OVER PRICING, DELIVERY DATES, TIME OF DELIVERY OR DAMAGES THAT MAY OCCUR DURING TRANSIT OR DELIVERY NOR DOES IT HAVE A SHIPPING DEPARTMENT. BY ARRAGING SHIPPING, CLIENT HAS FULL CONTROL OVER WHEN, HOW AND WITH WHAT COMPANY THEY WILL RECEVIE THEIR PIECE(S). FOR THE TRANSPORT PROTECTION, THE DELIVERY COMPANY SHOULD BE LICENSED AND INSURED. CLIENT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR COMMUNICATING WITH DELIVERY COMPANY FOR UPDATES ONCE FURNITURE IS PICKED UP FROM JVD STUDIO. ONCE DELIVERY HAS BEEN SET UP, PLEASE COMMUNICATE DETAILS TO: INFO@JVITALIA.COM. NOTE: THESE ARE AVERAGE WEIGHTS, DELIVERY COMPANIES WILL NEED THE IMAGES TO GIVE ACCURATE PRICING.
▪️COVID DELAYS: THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC HAS CREATED MANY NEW CHALLENGES. SMALL BUSINESSES GLOBALLY HAVE BEEN NEGATIVELY AFFECTED WITH SUCH DISRUPTIONS AS SUPPLY DEFICITS, STAFF SHORTAGES, AND EXPONENTIAL INCREASES IN SHIPPING COSTS. JVD IS NO EXCEPTION. FOR THIS REASON, IF NJ IS AGAIN SHUT DOWN BECAUSE OF A STATE OF EMERGENCY, THERE WILL BE A DELAY IN THE ORDERS PLACED IMMEDIATELY BEFORE, DURING AND CLOSELY AFTER THE SHUT DOWN. THIS DELAY IS A DIRECT REFLECTION OF THE SHUT DOWN, NOT OF JVD'S LACK OF EFFORT TO MEET THE CLIENT'S UNDERSTOOD PRODUCTION TIME. PLEASE KEEP THIS IN MIND WHEN PLACING YOUR IN-STOCK ORDER. EXPECT DELAYS:
PLEASE BE PREPARED FOR EXTENSIVE DELAYS AND PRICE INCREASES CAUSED BY THE PANDEMIC. HAVING A FLEXIBLE DELIVERY DATE RANGE AND PATIENCE TENDS TO BE MORE COST EFFECTIVE. REQUESTS TO CANCEL AND REFUND DUE TO SHIPPING COSTS OR DELAYS ARE NOT HONORED. IF A CLIENT'S DELIVERY TIME EXCEEDS THE PURPOSE OF THE FURNITURE PIECE, A REQUEST TO CANCEL MAY BE APPROVED AND THE CLIENT WILL RECEIVE STORE CREDIT ONLY.
▪️SHIPPING SUGGESTIONS: THE FOLLOWING ARE SHIPPING PLATFORMS CURRENTLY BEING USED BY CLIENTS: USHIP.COM, PLYCON, J&R EXPRESS TRUCKING, UBER PACKAGE. ARRANGEMENTS FROM OTHER TRANSPORTERS ARE WELCOMED, AS IS CLIENT PICK UP. BECAUSE THESE ARE CUSTOM, ONE- OF- A- KIND PIECES THEY CANNOT BE SHIPPED VIA: USPS, UPS, FED-EX, GREYHOUND, DHL. ITEMS WILL NOT BE RELEASED TO THESE COMPANIES BECAUSE SHIPMENT MUST BE HANDLED BY A TWO-MAN HAND CARRIER ONLY. DAMAGES DURING TRANSIT MUST BE REPORTED DIRECTLY TO THE DELIVERY COMPANY. JVD CAN ASSIST, IF REQUESTED, WITH ANY SUPPORT DOCUMENTS NEEDED FOR RESOLUTION.
