Orders & Returns

What is your return policy?

Eligible items can be returned for a refund of the merchandise value within 30 days of receiving an order or seven days for Quick Ship upholstery items. Returns or exchanges without an original or gift receipt will not be accepted. We will issue a refund in the form of the original payment or with a merchandise card. Shipping charges may be applied to your refund amount.

For more details, see our full Returns Policy page

What is your exchange policy?

We’re happy to exchange your item as long as it meets our return policy.  We recommend purchasing the replacement item and then starting a return on our returns page.

How do I start a return?

For Online Purchases:  Visit our returns page to create a UPS shipping label or visit your local store to make a free return. For oversized items and quick-ship furniture, please call our customer care center at (866) 472-4001 for more details. When sending products back via UPS, we suggest dropping the product off at an authorized access point and requesting a receipt from a shipping agent

Do I need to return the product in the original box?

No, you don't need your original box to make a return. Simply visit to the returns page to start a return and create a shipping label and use your own box. 

Still need help? Bring your shipping label and item to a professional shipping location. 

How do I keep track of my return or exhange?

Call our customer care center at 1.866.472.4001 and have the tracking number for your return ready. We can confirm if your new item or refund has been processed. 

When can I expect my refund?

When returning smaller items via mail, we offer UPS 3-day Select shipping to process your return quickly. If we offer a refund with a merchandise card, those can take 10 business days to process and arrive via standard mail after we receive your item.

For larger products like furniture, our customer care team will work with you and schedule a delivery service to pick up and replace your larger items in one trip.  Keep in mind timing and product availability may vary. 

How do I track my order?

You can track your order 24 hours after it is placed.

How do I return or exchange a gift?

To return a gift online, visit our returns page to create a shipping label.

What if my item is damaged, defective or incorrect?

We’re sorry your new item isn’t what you expected. For the fastest response, call our Customer Care team at 866-472-4001. We may ask for some photos to quickly resolve the issue.

Can I ship items to multiple addresses?

When you checkout, you will be given the option on the shipping page to "Ship to multiple addresses."

Personalized and Custom Items

Can I return a monogrammed item?

Unfortunately, we do not offer returns on personalized products. Verify your monogram or personalization is correct before purchasing.

Can I return custom furniture?

No, we do not offer refunds on final sale items, purchases from outlet stores or special orders including custom furniture. 

What is the correct way to list initials for a monogram?

When selecting a style for your monogram, the order of initials varies according to the style. When the center letter is taller than the others, the order of initials is traditionally first/last/middle. For example, say your name is Laura Marie Clark, the monogram would be LCM. For styles in which all letters are equal in size, the order of initials should be first/middle/last. In this case, the monogram would be LMC. See our monogram guidefor details.

PAYMENT METHODS

What payment methods are available?

You can choose to pay with a Credit Card (Visa, MasterCard, American Express or Discover), Pottery Barn Credit Card, PayPal, Apple Pay, Venmo, Affirm, Pottery Barn Teen Gift Card or any Williams-Sonoma Brand Gift Card.

Shipping and Delivery

Shipping Options & Charges

What shipping options are available?

Our products are delivered in two ways, either: 

  • Front Door Parcel Delivery (e.g., UPS, USPS) to your delivery address
  • Truck Delivery for most furniture and other items that exceed parcel carrier shipping weight limits; usually includes our Premium White Glove service and Unlimited Items for a Flat Rate fee
What does "Unlimited Flat Rate" mean?

Unlimited Flat Rate is the fee structure applied to our Truck Delivery for most orders. Items eligible for Unlimited Flat Rate Delivery will be indicated on the product page.

With Unlimited Flat Rate Shipping, an unlimited number of eligible furniture and select non-furniture items can be delivered for a single flat rate, per shipping address. Your order will ship when all items in your order are available for delivery.

Truck Delivery usually includes our premium White Glove Service - items are delivered to your home by appointment to your room of choice— and are then unpacked and fully assembled (installation is not included).

How do you deliver furniture?

Most furniture is delivered by a local moving company with our White Glove service. Once your items are ready to be delivered, our customer service team will contact you and schedule a delivery date and time. Our White Glove Service will bring your new items into the room of your choice and assemble them as well as dispose of all packaging materials when they are finished.

There are some restrictions to our In-Home Delivery and White Glove Service. White Glove Service cannot install lighting fixtures, wall-mounted items, headboards and other select items.

Some smaller furniture pieces can be delivered by parcel carrier which does not include White Glove service (check the product page for details).

What does "Quick Ship" mean?

If an upholstered item is marked as "Quick Ship" it means that it is stocked at one of our warehouses and is available to be delivered within 2 to 4 weeks. There is no additional charge for Quick Ship items. Note that Quick Ship status is subject to product availability at time of shipping.

How do you calculate shipping and processing charges?

For Front Door Shipping, shipping and processing charges are based on the merchandise total for each delivery address. If available, next day delivery incurs an additional charge. 

For Flat Rate Delivery, unlimited flat rate shipping and processing charges are based on the distance from our warehouse to the shipping address, as well as order total. 

Refer to our Shipping Information page for current rates & charges.

What is a delivery surcharge?

Items that are bulky, heavy, or of limited availability may have a delivery surcharge in addition to standard delivery and processing charges. This charge is shown on the product page by the item price and is in addition to regular delivery and processing charges.

Which deliveries will be charged sales tax?

All sales shipped to Texas locations are made by Williams-Sonoma DTC Texas, Inc., and the sales tax is based on the location where the order was received. Orders shipped to California locations are F.O.B. destination point which means title passes in California.

Am I able to return the EGift card?

You may not return or cancel your PBteen eGift Card after it is received. Purchasers who wish to cancel an eGift Card purchase order prior to its delivery to a recipient should contact CashStar Customer Support prior to the delivery date selected at the time of your purchase.

If you return merchandise originally purchased with an eGift Card, any refund will be issued in the form of a merchandise credit that may be used online, in stores or by phone.

What if I loose my gift card, EGift card or merchandise credit?

Please think of Gift Cards, EGift Cards and merchandise credit cards like cash.

If your EGift Card was lost or stolen, contact Cash Star Customer Support immediately.

Can I send a printed EGift card to present to someone as a gift?

Yes. Simply personalize the eGift Card for your recipient, have it sent to yourself, and then print it. To do this, enter your own email address in the "Recipient Email" field, and check the box next to "This is for me." Enter your recipient's name and your own personal message on the Gift Card preview, and complete the transaction normally. You will receive an eGift Card alert via email. Follow the instructions in the message to retrieve your eGift Card, and then click "Print this page." The resulting printout may be presented as a gift to the recipient, and may be redeemed online or in our retail stores.

What is group gifting?

Group gifting is just like "chipping in"- sharing the cost of a gift with friends or family instead of paying for the entire gift yourself. Collected contributions are pooled together and the gift recipient receives an EGift Card for the total value of all contributions. Get started on our Group Gift Cards page.
