Updated August, 2021 - Covid-19 and other unforeseen issues may cause delays or changes in shipping.

WHEN WILL I RECEIVE MY ITEM(S)?

The date your item(s) will be received is subject to several contributing factors, including the type of order In-Stock w/Manufacturer or Supplier, In-Stock Locally, On Back Order, etc. - the type of shipping and/or delivery method used, etc.


HOW WILL MY ITEM (S) ARRIVE?

Our shipping/ delivery options are dependent on the type of item(s) ordered. Smaller orders will be shipped via UPS GROUND, USPS  or  Fed Ex. Larger items are shipped outside of Delray Beach & surrounding areas, we use a 3rd Party Shipping Company for White Glove Delivery.


I ORDERED MULTIPLE ITEMS. WILL THEY SHIP SEPARATELY?

We make every attempt to ship your order complete, but due to stock, some items will stagger in shipment. If you are not at the shipping address full time, please let OBH know.  Should an exception arise, we will reach out to you and make appropriate accommodations.


HOW DO I CHECK ON MY ORDER?

When you order online, you will receive an automated email that we have received the order. Depending on the item, (please read the item description carefully) the item will take anywhere from 3-5 business days to weeks. Supply chains have been impacted by the aftershock of COVID-19 on the import and manufacturing industry.

HOW ARE SHIPPING COSTS CALCULATED?

Shipping costs are calculated based on the type of item(s) ordered, weight of the item and cubic sq f of the item.


IS SHIPPING COST DIFFERENT FROM DELIVERY COST?

Yes, a true shipping fee is what it costs for the item to be shipped, whereas delivery is the item brought to your home, outside or inside. These are usually calculated at the time or purchase and in some circumstances the delivery fee is calculated prior to delivery "type" is determined.


TAXES & FEES - What taxes do I pay? Sales Tax and Local County Taxes are applied to merchandise for orders being shipped/delivered within the state of Florida. 


WHAT TYPES OF DELIVERY METHODS ARE THERE?

We offer Standard Delivery (also known as Curbside Delivery) this is where your items will be left adjacent to the home, but not brought inside. This standard fee is automatically calculated based on the order amount.  We offer local White Glove Residential Delivery in and near the Delray Beach, FL area and in a 50 mile radius. We offer out of town White Glove Residential Delivery using various 3rd Party White Glove Delivery companies in the select area. White Glove Delivery is an in-home delivery service where the items are arranged in the room(s) and set up, then all debris and packaging is removed from the home.

DO YOU TAKE AWAY OLD FURNITURE/ MATTRESSES?

Unfortunately, we are only able to place, assemble and arrange the items that we have provided. We cannot remove unwanted sofas, mattresses, case goods, etc.


WHAT IS THE OVERALL LEAD TIME VS. MANUFACTURING TIME FOR A SLIPCOVERED PIECE?

The overall lead time is how long the item will take to arrive at your home. The Manufacturing Time is how long it actually takes to make your slipcover or upholstered piece. Both of these times are ESTIMATED due to supplies, labor and shipping times.

Once a slipcovered item is ordered, it is entered and acknowledged in the system. Then, it goes into production. This is a period of time where framing, upholstery and sewing happens so there are not many UPDATES regarding progress of the piece(s). Once the piece(s) are complete, they will be packaged for shipment. If items are shipping residentially outside of Florida, they may take 1-4 weeks to arrive. If items are purchased locally to Delray Beach, FL they may take 1-2 weeks to arrive after being prepared for shipment.

The overall estimated lead time on a custom slipcover item is anywhere from 8-24 weeks depending on the item ordered. This is subject to change depending on manufacturing, supply, labor or shipper issues that may occur and are out of our control.


HOW DO I GET MY CUSTOM SEATING PIECES?

When your custom seating piece or custom table/furniture  is complete, the 3rd party white glove delivery crew will be in contact with you directly to arrange the delivery of these  larger items to schedule your delivery appointment. We will provide contact information should you need to reach out to them. For local Delray Beach delivery, our shipping crew will be in contact with you when your items arrive at our local warehouse.


WHO DO I CONTACT WITH A PACKAGE OR DELIVERY ISSUE?
