Unpacking and debris removal is NOT included. You will be called when the shipment arrives to your local delivery center to make a delivery appointment.  Threshold Delivery for furniture is done Monday through Friday during typical business hours. If the delivery address is a commercial location, a delivery appointment may not be made unless indicated after the order is placed.  Threshold Delivery is not applicable for items that ship via parcel or for international shipments.

Rescheduling of delivery appointments with less than 48 hours of advanced notice or missed delivery appointments may also be subject to additional fees. Please contact us  for further information.

We do not offer expedited shipping on our products, as many of our items are made to order and shipped directly from the vendor’s warehouse. In some rare circumstances some exceptions can be made. Please contact us for any questions regarding expedited shipping.

Design Public Group is not responsible for storage fees of any order. Additional charges may apply if storage is requested.

You can always check the status of your order using our order tracking page. A link to this page was sent to the email address on the order--where you received your order confirmation. Be sure to check your spam/promo folder, as our emails can end up there from time to time! If you do not see this email or your order confirmation, please reach out to us here (under "Questions About Existing Orders"). Please allow one business day for our response.

The majority of our smaller items are shipped via UPS parcel, while our larger furniture pieces are shipped via freight through Diligent Delivery Systems. For parcel shipments, you will receive a tracking notification once your order has shipped. For freight shipments, you will receive a tracking number when the shipment is moving within North America.

If your item is being delivered Threshold, White Glove or White Glove + Assembly, you will receive a phone call to schedule final delivery once the order has arrived to your local delivery hub.

Shipping times vary for each product and manufacturer. Please refer to the lead times quoted on each product page for a more accurate estimate. Our quoted lead times are estimations based on the historical average lead time and our most recent stocking information from the manufacturer. Backordered items are indicated on the product page as well as your order confirmation.

If you find an identical product offered online for a lower price, we will gladly match the price. The following terms apply: 

• We must verify that the product is offered by an authorized US retailer (contiguous US) and that it is identical to ours, in stock, not in limited quantity, brand new, and covered by the manufacturer's warranty.
• The price quoted by the other retailer must include all applicable charges including those for options, customization, shipping, and handling.
• We cannot match prices on special orders, items sold through auction sites, overstock sites, deal sites or those sold through special events (e.g. limited-time sales, closeouts, clearances, or liquidations).
• In cases where a product manufacturer mandates a Minimum Advertised Price (MAP), we cannot match prices lower than the MAP.
• Gus Modern items are exempted from this program
• Price matching does not include taxes or prices that are lower due to typographical errors.
• Due to localization issues and currency fluctuations we do not price match to international sites.
• Finally, the advertised price must be available to all customers and cannot require any kind of membership, affiliation, coupon codes or sign-ups.

To report a lower price and request a price match, email us and provide the following:

• A link to the web page of the product offered by the other retailer
• Our competitor's price
• A list of any applicable options (finish, material, etc.) you have selected for this product

Please note coupon codes or other promotions may not be used to further discount a price match request.

Time Limit on our Price Match: 

• Stocked items (lead time of less than 5 weeks): If the above terms are met, we can price match your stocked item before it has shipped. If your item has already shipped or has been delivered, the price match is subject to be denied. Final sale items are excluded from all price adjustments.
• Made-to-Order items (lead time of over 5 weeks): If the above terms are met, we can price match your made-to-order items prior to our cancellation period for Made to Order items. Final sale items are excluded from all price adjustments.

We understand you can’t pass up that last minute invitation to fly off to Paris, but should you find yourself in this situation while expecting a Design Public delivery, please let us know as soon as possible and we’ll do everything we can to arrange or delay your delivery. 

Please note if a shipping company attempts delivery, is unable to complete it, and your item is returned to sender, the resulting shipping cost (both directions) and a 20% restocking fee will be deducted from your refund. Additionally, your refund may experience delays while we work to manually track your shipment, obtain the shipping costs, and submit your refund.

Our Customer Success Team is available M-Th, 7am-5pm, Fridays 7am-12pm, PST. You can reach us at 310-504-3674 ext 2.

If you email us over the weekend or on a holiday, we will get back to you within 1-2 business days. If you call outside of business hours,please leave us a voicemailand we will be happy to return your call during our business hours.

If you are reaching out on a weekend or holiday to request a cancel or report a claim (within 24 hours, as per ourpolicies), please know that the elapsed time from your response to ours will not be counted as within the 24 hours. As long as we see that you reached out within 24 hours of the order (cancel) or the delivery (claim), we will be happy to honor your request or resolve your claim. 

If you are reaching out within 24 hours of placing your order (time stamp on your order confirmation email), we will cancel your order for a full refund. If you reach out within 24 hours and your order ends up shipping, we will still honor your request to cancel.

Any cancellation request made 24 hours after order placement is subject to be denied. Design Public does not accept cancellation requests once the item has shipped. If your order has been delayed, please reach out to us within 24 hours of receiving your order status update email with your request to cancel. We will do everything we can to cancel your order, but cannot guarantee cancellation until we have the manufacturer's reply, as we are a drop-ship company.

If you are requesting to cancel a made-to-order item, the customer may be subject to a cancellation fee or denial of the request.  If an item has a lead time of more than 5 weeks and/or has more than 5 upholstery options, it is likely a made to order item. If you do not know whether the item in question is made-to-order, please contact us and ask before your order! Once production begins on made to order items, any cancellation request is subject to be denied. 

We want you to be happy with your order and your experience shopping Design Public Group.
