SitJoy Shipping Policy

At SitJoy, we take pride in the manufacturing of our furniture. It is our goal to deliver your purchase to you as quickly and efficiently as possible. All our products are fully packaged for safe transit and will be handled by professional third-party delivery carriers.

We work with multiple specialist delivery partners to ensure your order reaches you safely and on time. This may result in your order having multiple shipments from separate delivery partners. Kindly note that the shipping cost is calculated per shipment (not per total order), based on the warehouse location that your product(s) is shipped from. Speed of delivery depends on the type of product, product availability, and proximity to Metropolitan areas. 

All shipments are delivered Monday through Saturday between 7:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. If you wish to request to see if the non-specified hours are possible for your area, please contact us before your order has been processed. Kindly note that not all requests can be fulfilled.

Please note that it is your responsibility to check that your items will fit through doors, staircases, and elevators in their packaging before you place your order. Product and package dimensions are included in the product description on our website. Failed delivery due to our inability to access your home will result in additional delivery charges.

Please note that while we may be able to have your order shipped to a freight forwarder, once the shipment is in their hands, SitJoy is released of all responsibility for issues that may arise during and as a result of the freight forwarding process.

SHIPPING FEES AND LOCATIONS

Shipping fees are charged per shipment, not per order, and are fixed at flat rates depending on shipment value as well as delivery location.

A friendly reminder that for orders with multiple items, depending on each item’s estimated delivery date, there may be multiple shipments per order. Shipping fees are calculated based on your location and order subtotal. Total shipping fees charged will be indicated during the checkout process after processing the number of shipments required based on the estimated delivery of all your items.

TYPES OF DELIVERY

For some major cities, free shipping is applicable to all shipments.

We provide Standard Service.

1. Standard Service 

We will deliver your item(s) to either the ground floor, lobby, or first dry area of your home (such as a garage, front porch, lobby, etc.) or apartment building. Deliveries to any address that requires using a lift or staircase will be left at the entrance of the lift or foot of the stairs. This service does not include unpacking, assembly, or trash removal. Your signature won’t be required; our team will simply photograph your order at your doorstep as proof of delivery.

To initiate delivery, we will send an email notifying you that your order is ready to ship. You will then either receive a fixed delivery date with tracking information or be contacted by our delivery partner to arrange a delivery date and time window.

RECEIVING ITEMS

For security purposes, our delivery partners may verify your photo ID prior to the unloading of the products. Failure to comply with verification requests will be considered refusing delivery; the item(s) will be returned to the warehouse, and a service fee will be charged. If you choose to reschedule, a secondary delivery fee will be applied.

Upon delivery, you or a third party appointed by you shall inspect the item(s) carefully before our delivery partner leaves the premises. Any damaged or defective items must be reported to SitJoy within 3 business days of delivery and noted on the proof of delivery document. Please contact us and provide photos showing the damage or fault within 7 business days. We will reply within 3 business days.

SitJoy reserves the right, in its absolute discretion, to determine whether a product or a component of a product has failed due to a defect or wear and tear. Such replacement or repair is offered by SitJoy at its sole discretion. In the event that an exchange for the defective piece cannot be arranged, SitJoy reserves the right to offer a substitute or full refund. All repair or replacement of item(s) will depend on inventory availability. SitJoy shall not be liable for any consequences (whether direct or indirect) of the delay in the delivery of the goods, and no such delay shall entitle the customer to treat this agreement as being repudiated by SitJoy or to any comparison. (Return policy)

SIGNING OF PROOF OF DELIVERY RECEIPT (POD)

A POD is not simply a receipt of delivery but an acknowledgment that the goods arrived intact. All too often, PODs are signed without inspecting your delivery.

We advise confirming that the shipment was intended for you, that the entire order has been delivered, and that it was delivered undamaged.

Anything not indicated on this form before your signature will result in SitJoy being unable to authorize any damage claims after your driver has left.

Please follow this checklist we have created for you to follow before the Point of Delivery (POD) is signed:

Checklist:

1. Please check all cartons for visible damage.
2. Please confirm you have received the correct items as per the POD and the delivery order.
3. If you have White Glove delivery: Please wait until all items have been assembled and there is no visible damage to the items. Then sign off on POD.
4. If there is serious damage to a carton please check whether the product is damaged.
5. If there is damage: Please take photos of the damage, cartons and product ID code.
6. Please indicate any property damage caused by delivery on the POD. We will need to photos and video footage of the damage occurring to document the damage. 

After you’ve gone through your entire shipment and documented any issues, you may obtain the driver’s signature or initials next to your notes about the damaged items on the POD.

*Please do not dispose cartons until the issue is resolved.

 

ESTIMATED DELIVERY DATE

The "Estimated Delivery" lead times shown on each product page indicate the estimated date range in which you can expect the item to arrive at your delivery location. This lead time includes time taken for stock movement from manufacturing locations to our warehouse (this includes factors such as whether an item is made-to-order) and last-mile delivery to your door.

Please note that these dates are an estimate and may be subject to potential unforeseen delays.

SCHEDULING AND TRACKING OF SHIPMENTS

You will receive an email notification when your order has left our local warehouse.

For delivery by FedEx, you will be provided with the tracking information in the email.

For deliveries by our specialized carriers, you will be contacted directly by the carrier to confirm a delivery date and timeframe.

DELAYING/HOLD SHIPMENTS

We are able to provide 14 days of free storage for all shipments. The 14 days of free storage begin when you receive the "It's on its way!" e-mail and/or when the attempt at delivery scheduling begins.

DELAYED SHIPMENT / DELIVERY DUE TO UNFORESEEN SITUATIONS

In the event of a delay in shipment due to unforeseen situations, SitJoy reserves the right to reschedule the delivery, subject to the availability of the next open delivery date.

No specific time of delivery can be provided. A time frame will be advised but cannot be guaranteed. SitJoy shall not be liable for any consequences, any loss suffered, or any expenses incurred (whether direct or indirect) due to the delay in the shipment or delivery of the goods, and no such delay shall entitle the customer to treat this agreement as being repudiated by SitJoy or to any comparison.

Order Cancellation:

Cancelled at Origin Terminal – No Charge

Cancelled In-Transit – $149

REDELIVERY FEE

Any last-minute changes for scheduled delivery dates must be requested 3 business days after ordering and prior to your confirmed delivery. Any last-minute requests after said timeframe will be subject to a re-delivery fee of $100 as well as any applicable taxes.

MISSED DELIVERIES

Our delivery partners will contact you to schedule your delivery slot. All delivery appointments are confirmed with customers before departure. If a delivery cannot be completed because of the customer’s non-availability, SitJoy will charge $149.

Please note that orders will be cancelled and subject to a fee of $149 if you cannot be reached to schedule your delivery date with the carrier. During the day of delivery, you will need to be available to be contacted either by phone or email. If you are not present and/or available at the delivery address within your allocated delivery slot, our delivery partners will wait for approximately 15 minutes before they leave. All undeliverable orders will be returned to our distribution center and restocked. To reschedule a delivery to the correct delivery address, we will contact you to arrange for the next available delivery with a re-delivery fee (charge at cost). We do ask that you let our delivery partners know of any necessary changes to your delivery slot at least three business days in advance.

Waiting Time:

Our delivery partners will confirm delivery time frames with you 24 hours prior to the scheduled delivery time and 30 minutes prior to arrival. However, if the customer is not at home upon arrival, the delivery team will notify the customer of his arrival. If the customer requests that the delivery team wait until he/she reaches his/her home, the team will wait for 15 minutes at no additional cost. However, any waiting time after the first 15 minutes will be charged. The delivery team will not wait for any customer for more than 30 minutes following their arrival during the scheduled delivery timeframe.

INCORRECT DELIVERY ADDRESS

All undeliverable orders will be returned to our distribution center and restocked. To reschedule a delivery to the correct address, we will contact you to arrange for the next available delivery with a re-delivery fee.

DELIVERY RESTRICTIONS

We reserve the right to refuse delivery to specific locations for items we deem at high risk of loss or damage, as well as areas that are inaccessible for our home delivery services.

We cannot deliver to PO boxes or Parcel Lockers because they're usually too small to accept most of the items we sell.
