Shipping, Delivery, and Assembly

How will my order ship?

Most orders take 24-48 hours to process and ship out of our fulfillment centers unless a specific estimated shipping date is displayed. All delivery dates are estimates and actual delivery times may vary or be subject to change.

Our products are delivered in two ways, either:

Parcel Delivery Products marked "Parcel Delivery" in the "Details" tab on the product page, ship via small parcel delivery. Please refer to the product page and tracking info, for delivery estimate. Please Note:  Parcel-Delivery items may ship together with Truck-Delivery items in your order resulting in longer transit times.

Truck Delivery (e.g., sofas, large tables, large order quantities, etc.) Products marked "Truck Delivery" in the details tab, ship using a freight truck.

We offer four delivery levels at checkout:

Front Door Delivery - delivered to the outside entrance of your home or building at the ground level

Enhanced Delivery - delivered to your room of choice on any floor

Premium Delivery - includes Enhanced Delivery & item setup

White Glove Delivery - includes Premium Delivery & packaging removal

If your apartment is above ground level, we recommend upgrading to either Enhanced, Premium, or White Glove Delivery.

Please note: upgraded delivery options and extended area surcharges, are non-refundable once the item has shipped. During checkout, you will be provided an estimated delivery date window. Our delivery partner will contact you prior to your delivery date to schedule a delivery appointment.

Truck Delivery customers: Original packaging must be retained and used in the event of a return, otherwise a $99 repacking fee will be deducted from your refund. Customers who selected White Glove delivery as the delivery method will not need to retain packaging. ALL truck-delivery returns will need to be boxed up or protected with bubble wrap for a pickup to occur.

CHECK FOR DAMAGE

Carefully inspect your item as soon as you receive it and notify us of any damage or defect within 48 hours of receiving your item. We cannot honor any claims of damage after 48 hours after the time of delivery.

(What does this mean?): If your item has any shipping damage or manufacturing defects, we want to know as soon as possible so we can assist you! In the unlikely event of any damage or defects, we want you to know that we're happy to help you resolve the issue.

WHAT TO EXPECT FOR ORDERS WITH TRUCK DELIVERY

Your order will be in transit from our fulfillment center for approximately 7-21 days, depending on your delivery location. Please note your shipment tracking may not show any progress or movement during transit. Once your order arrives at your local delivery hub, and the delivery route has been established, you will be contacted by our final mile delivery partner to schedule a delivery appointment.

Estimated Delivery Date

Estimated arrival dates provided on the checkout page and on the carrier’s, website are estimates only that are subject to change. Due to the current extreme demand for shipping, transit times may be further delayed. Truck deliveries are unlike small parcel carriers such as UPS or FedEx and don't have regular routes to every neighborhood each day.

Once the carrier confirms the route, they will contact you at least 24 hours prior to delivery to confirm your appointment.

Delivery Appointment

As soon as our final mile delivery partner receives your shipment and confirms a route, they will contact you to confirm a delivery appointment day and time. Please make sure you will be present at the time of the delivery to receive your order.  

Inspecting your delivery

Inspect every inch of your furniture as soon as you receive it. We will need to report any damage or issues to the carrier as soon as possible. It is important to us that your furniture arrives in perfect condition. We expect nothing less and neither should you. 

Approve and Accept

Before your order leaves our fulfillment centers, each package is inspected by our shipping team to make sure it is in perfect condition. However, we know damage can sometimes occur in transit. If your furniture has been damaged, please note that on your Proof of Delivery form.

Refuse Delivery

Don’t worry if anything is damaged in transit—we have you covered! Before refusing the delivery, take some pictures of the damage and write "refusing delivery due to damage" on any documentation that the delivery partner requests you to sign. After you have refused delivery please call our friendly customer support team, weekdays between 6 AM to 5 PM PST at 1-855-310-1450, or chat with us live on our website. 

IMPORTANT: Original packaging must be retained and used in the event of a return or exchange. If an item is returned or exchanged without the original packaging, a repacking fee will be deducted from your refund. Please see below for more details. Does not apply to items shipped with White Glove Delivery.

  

RETURNS & EXCHANGES

We want you to love our products as much as we do, we therefore offer a 100-day return window on all orders. If your item isn’t perfect for your space, we’re here to help! 

 

FREE EXCHANGES

At any time within your 100-day return window, you may request an exchange for any item in your order. Your first exchange will be completed free of charge. (After the first exchange, any future exchanges will have return shipping costs deducted from your refund per the return policy below). All exchanges will be delivered with our Front Door Delivery - delivered to the outside entrance of your home or building at the ground level. You may upgrade your shipping method.

For Truck Delivery Items, our returns team will assist you with setting up a date for exchanging your original item for the new one in the same appointment (This service may not be available in all zip codes, in which case a separate pickup will be scheduled).  If the new item is of greater value than the item being returned, we will invoice for the difference in cost as one part of the exchange process. However, if the new item is of lesser value, the difference in cost will be refunded to the original method of payment when the exchange is complete.

One free exchange per household.

IMPORTANT: Items must be in new or like-new condition to be eligible for returns or exchanges. Original packaging must be retained and used in the event of a return or exchange. If an item is returned or exchanged without the original packaging, a repacking fee will be deducted from your refund. Please see below for more details. Does not apply to items shipped with White Glove Delivery.

 

RETURNS

If you would like to initiate a return, please give us a call at (469) 656-4222, or email support@muude.com.

Your item may be returned for any reason, whether you tried it in your space and found it wasn’t quite right or if you just had a change of heart. We’ll gladly accept your return. Items must be in new or like-new condition to be eligible for returns or exchanges.

Please note:

~Truck Delivery items will have a $49 per item return shipping fee deducted from your refund.

~Small Parcel Delivery items will have a $19 per item return shipping fee deducted from your refund.

~The shipping method can be seen on every product page in the Details section.

Extended Area Surcharges

For some addresses, Extended Area Delivery Surcharges may be added to the order at checkout. Please be aware, this delivery surcharge is not refundable once the order ships.

 

SHOULD I KEEP MY PACKAGING?

Original packaging must be retained and used in the event of a return. If an item is returned without the original packaging, a repacking fee will be deducted from your refund:

~$49 per item for Small Parcel Delivery item.

~$99 per item for Truck Delivery items. This fee will be waived for customers who upgraded to White Glove Delivery at checkout.

(What does this mean?): When you're receiving your delivery, some delivery crews may offer to remove the packaging as a courtesy. Even if a delivery crew offers to do this for you, please remember to retain all packaging when you receive your item and hold onto it for the duration of the return period. Carriers are unable to PICK UP OR RETURN an unpackaged item. If you need to make a return, any shipping carrier that may pick up the item from your home can only do so if your item is packaged. If you dispose of the original packaging and then need to make a return, we will require the item to be packaged before authorizing a pickup. An example of an acceptable alternative is bubble wrap. Any items returned without original packaging are subject to a repacking fee.  This will include items that have been bubble-wrapped or otherwise repackaged without the original box. 

ALL Truck Delivery returns (including orders with White glove Delivery purchased at checkout with packaging removal included) will need to be boxed up or protected with bubble or saran wrap for a pickup to occur. The fee for non-original packaging will be waived for customers who upgraded to White Glove Delivery at checkout. 

In the event of a return, all upgraded delivery options (Enhanced Delivery, Premium Delivery, White Glove Delivery) are non-refundable. 

All Truck Delivery returns will be picked up at the outside entrance of your home or building at the ground level. If you require a pickup from inside your home, disassembly, or repackaging of your items, a $99 service fee will be deducted from your refund. These additional services may not be available in every zip code.

 

Damage Upon Delivery

Things don’t always go as planned! In the unlikely event your item arrives damaged, please get in touch with us right away. We ask that you inspect your item immediately upon receiving it and report any shipping damage or manufacturing defects within 48 hours of receiving it. We may not be able to honor a damage claim made after 48 hours have passed.

Just take some pictures of the problem areas of the item as well as its packaging and send them along to us at support@muude.com. We’ll be glad to help you from there with any replacements or repairs you may need!

 

Warranty

Our standard manufacturer’s warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship for one year from the products’ date of delivery on all items. Please note that our warranty is non-transferable, and therefore cannot apply to items that have been gifted or bought secondhand.

 

Additionally, we offer a 10-year limited warranty on all upholstered sofas (leather and fabric). This warranty covers structural elements, such as wood frames, springs, joints, bases, legs and hardware, which are integral to the items use. 

 

If you experience an issue with your item, please let us know. We will arrange replacement parts, repair, and if necessary, a full replacement or refund. Please note that all our warranties are non-transferable. Warranties are only valid when products are used for their intended purpose and exhibit normal use. Defects or damage resulting from negligence, misuse, accidents, abnormal use, modifications, or commercial purposes will not be covered by our warranty. 

 

WHAT TO EXPECT FOR A RETURN

Small Parcel Items

For small parcel returns (any item that ships via UPS or FedEx), we will generate a return shipping label for you to use. If you require FedEx or UPS to pick up from your home, we can arrange this service for you. Pickup requests have a $20 flat fee deducted from the refund due. 

Truck Delivery Items

Large items (sofas, TV stands, dining tables, etc.) that ship via Truck Delivery will need a freight carrier pick up. Once you let us know you would like to make the return, we begin the paperwork required for the return. This can take 3 to 5 business days and is subject to change. Once the paperwork is processed, the carrier will reach out to you to schedule a pickup on the next available route. Truck delivery is unlike the small parcel carriers such as UPS or Fedex and don't have regular routes to every neighborhood each day. Once the carrier can confirm the route, they will reach out to you to schedule an appointment. While freight carriers call at least a business day or two in advance, they tend not to call earlier than that. The timeframe for a return pickup varies depending on your zip code.

 

When will I receive my refund?

A refund to the original form of payment is processed once the item has been received by our fulfillment centers and inspected by our returns team.

 

CANCELLATIONS

You can cancel any time before an item ships. If you need to cancel an order, please contact our customer support team as soon as possible. If an item has already shipped, this will be considered a return, and our standard return policy will apply.

How long does it take to ship my order?

Most orders will ship out from our fulfillment centers within 1-2 business days, unless otherwise noted on the product page.

Can I upgrade to in-home delivery/assembly?

For Truck Delivery items, we currently offer four delivery levels at checkout: 

Front Door Delivery - delivered to the outside entrance of your home or building at the ground level

Enhanced Delivery - delivered to your room of choice on any floor

Premium Delivery - includes Enhanced Delivery & item setup

White Glove Delivery - includes Premium Delivery & packaging removal

If your apartment is above ground level, we recommend upgrading to either Enhanced, Premium, or White Glove Delivery.

If your item/s needs delivery beyond 2 flights of stairs, please contact us with the additional stair count, so that we can inform our delivery partner. In some cases, additional delivery personnel may be required.

If your building requires a Certificate of Insurance and you need assistance, please reach out to us for help.

Upgraded delivery methods are nonrefundable once the item has shipped.

Can I track my shipment?

Yes, an email with a tracking link will be sent once we’ve packed and shipped your order. Please note that all delivery dates are estimated, and actual delivery times may vary or be subject to change.

Will I get a call when the furniture is going to be delivered?

With Parcel Delivery shipments, you’ll be notified with tracking that will indicate when your shipment is due to arrive. If you would like a notification, you can log into the UPS or Fedex site to request notifications to be sent via email when your shipment is near.  For LTL shipments, our Freight delivery partners will call ahead of time to schedule a delivery appointment.

Can I place my order on hold to be delivered after a certain date?

If your order hasn’t already shipped, we can put a hold on your order for up to 21 days until you’re ready for us to send it! Just reach out to our customer service team to get this set up.

Do you ship internationally (i.e., outside the US)?

At present we only ship within the continental United States. If you need to ship out elsewhere, please contact our customer service team: https://www.polyandbark.com/pages/contact

Can you ship to a PO/APO/FPO Box?

We do not currently ship to PO Boxes or the like and require a street address in order to ship.

Can I change my shipping address after I place the order?

If your order hasn’t shipped, we can make any changes to the order that you need! If your order has already shipped, it will be necessary to contact UPS about changing the address.

What happens if I miss my delivery appointment?

Parcel Delivery services like UPS and Fedex will make up to three attempts to deliver your packages, so don’t worry if you miss the first attempt! All Truck Delivery services call ahead to arrange delivery and will hold your shipment locally for a few days while they call again to arrange another drop off.

I ordered multiple items, but they did not arrive together, what’s going on?

In a multi-pack shipment, part of your order may get separated from the rest of the order. This usually happens because one truck was filled before the entirety of your order was loaded onto it. If you ever notice that your whole order hasn’t shown up, be sure to check your tracking link; on the tracking page you’ll see a link reading “Packages in shipment”, which will show you the individual tracking numbers of each piece of your shipment.
