Return shipping is explained in Regular Return: DIY and Assisted Return: Get Our Help below.

Assisted Return: Get our help

If you are within our standard fulfillment area, you can request an assisted return, and our carrier will collect the order for curbside return only. The equivalent of the standard outbound shipping fee will be deducted from your refund. Additional fees may apply if extra services are required. Contact our team to see if you are within the fulfillment area.

We can only accept returned items in original packaging and like-new condition. Products with scratches, stains, damages, or modifications cannot be returned.

Restocking Fee

A 20% restocking fee will apply to returns.

Custom Order and Final Sale Items

Custom orders, products marked as Final Sale, and any part(s) orders cannot be returned or refunded. Items marked as “Final Sale” are not covered by our usual warranty. Custom orders are those unique pieces that are either not in stock in our warehouse or not part of our readily available “quick ship” series. If you’ve chosen something with material customizations that are out of stock or not part of our “quick ship” products, that’s a custom order too.

48-Hour Cooling-Off Period

All orders, including custom orders, can be canceled within 48 hours without incurring any fees.

We value your business and want you to be thrilled with your new purchase. If anything isn’t just right, please let us know, and we’ll do everything we can to make it so. Your satisfaction is our priority.

European Union 14 day cooling off period

Notwithstanding the above, if the merchandise is being shipped into the European Union, you have the right to cancel or return your order within 14 days, for any reason and without a justification. As above, your item must be in the same condition that you received it, with tags, and in its original packaging.

Please note that because of this cooling off period, production of custom order pieces are delayed by 14 days which will extend their estimated shipping times by 14 days.

Cancellation: Unshipped

After the cooling-off period, you can still cancel your order for a full refund before the order is set up for shipment.

Please note that this does not apply to Custom Orders, final sale, or any ordered parts.

Cancellation: Shipped

Changed your mind after the order has been set up for shipment? You can still cancel, but please be aware that a restocking fee and the costs of both outbound and return shipping will be deducted from your refund amount. Again, cancellation is not possible to Custom Orders after production has begun.

Cancellation: Custom Orders

Once a custom order has entered production and moved to ‘In Production’ status, all costs of production have been incurred, and therefore a cancellation is no longer possible, and the balance paid cannot be refunded.

Special Note on Vouchers And Gift Cards

If a cancelled order contains a voucher, this voucher is considered void and will not be reinstated. If an order is cancelled from which a voucher or gift card was generated, the refund amount will be adjusted accordingly.

Already Received Your Order?

If you have already received your order, please refer to the Return Policy below, as a cancellation is no longer available.

Custom Orders:

At Archetype Forms, we understand that sometimes you need something special. Custom orders are those unique pieces that are either not in stock in our warehouse or not part of our readily available “quick ship” series.

If you’ve chosen something with material customizations that are out of stock or not part of our “quick ship” products, that’s a custom order too. Material customizations include but are not limited to upholstery, metals, woods, stones, and glass pieces that are not part of our in-stock and quick-ship products.

Custom order items are non-refundable after applicable cooling off periods and/or production has begun, whichever is the latest of the dates. Contact us as soon as possible if you need changes or have had a change of heart.

Original Packaging:

Original packaging is the boxes, wraps, labels, supports, foam, and all other parts or documents that arrived within or attached to the packaging that the product was delivered in. Original packaging ensures the items are returned safely and to prevent damage.

Quick-Ship items have not been customized by the customer and are clearly indicated on the products/materials

Restocking Fee:

Our standard restocking fee is 20%. This is charged because products returned cannot be sold as new. Therefore, expenses have been accrued that must be recovered.
