Will my pieces be delivered as the are completed or all at once?
Shipping times vary depending on what product is ordered. Pieces stagger into the warehouse for local delivery, so once all items are received, the delivery is scheduled for one trip unless otherwise noted.
What is the difference between White Glove vs. Curbside Delivery?
White Glove Delivery is a premium delivery service whereas the crew members deliver and set up items in the home such as large area rug, place the furniture where you prefer, apply slipcovers when applicable and remove debris/boxes from the home. Curbside Delivery is a standard, cost effective method where boxed items are left at or near the outside of the home.
Can my order be "RUSHED"?
Depending in the item, we can offer RUSHED services on Manufacturing and/or Delivery. Each item presents a different time line and fee, please call 1-800-473-2137 (select Order Processing or Customer Service) to inquire about the RUSH ability and/or fee for the item.
What forms of payment do you accept?
All major credit cards: Visa, MasterCard, American Express & Discover. Paypal, Local Checks and Wire Transfers are also accepted.
What if I change my mind after placing an order online?
All online orders can be cancelled if request is within a 24 hour period from order placement. After the 24 hours, or the processing of an order, there is a cancel fee & re-stock fee (if applicable) that is 25% of the subtotal. Custom items are non-refundable and non-returnable.
Do you ship outside of the continental USA?
We ship to any of the contiguous United States. Apologies to our friends in Hawaii, Alaska & Puerto Rico. Please note: some of our vendors will drop ship smaller boxed goods (pillows, lamps, decor) to the aforementioned territories. Please call 1-800-473-2137 (Select Customer Service) to see if the item you are interested in can ship to you. Any items going overseas can be shipped to a container arranged by the customer and/or picked up by customer's own shipper and we will box/prep the shipment as well as provide the box details and weight.
When it comes to rugs and runners? How do I know what size works for my space for entry doormats?
RUNNERS: For custom stair runners, we recommend consulting a professional. Every staircase is unique and custom rugs are not returnable. Many installers will include initial measurements in the installation price. Many rugs make a fine choice for a stair runner and we sell samples to order/preview before you commit to the product. SAMPLES: Order a sample to see what you think in person! Saves time and money on return shipping a large, heavy rug. Sample fee is refunded upon the same rug purchase in any size. Sample has hanging grommets and is not intended as a small rug. DOORMATS: Our best selling rope doormats are perfect for the entry, back porch, outdoor shower and more. The rope door mat is 1" thick and can come in custom sizes. Best way to size for your entry door or back door is to measure the door width and match that or extend it by a few inches - even if one door is fixed. Visually, you want the door size to work with the mat size. Custom sizing is available on most door mat colors & styles. Contact us for more information at thecrew@ourbothouse.com
Where is my order?
Our Boat House does not take ownership of all the goods we offer in store or on our website, nor do we stock all goods offered. Some pieces require manufacturing time such as slipcovered goods, custom driftwood pieces, custom finished pieces, custom art with framing, quote books, door mats, rugs, special size rugs or runners, throw pillows, etc. At times, pieces on the order will be custom made and ship direct from a manufacturer located outside of Florida. At times, goods must ship to Our Boat House and will be received and distributed from Our Boat House. Please review details on each item outlining lead times. Most established goods that ship "as is" like lamps, chandeliers, pendants, set rug sizes, decorative pieces such as trays, shells, books, etc will ship quicker than custom pieces. Some will ship direct from the manufacturer aka drop ship to your home, whereas others require longer processing time or ship from one coast to the other. If you have immediate questions regarding your order, please call 1-800-473-2137, select Order Processing or email thecrew@ourboathouse.com. Please have your Order PO ready or the email used on the order.
