Terms & Conditions

RETURNS & EXCHANGES

If your purchase did not live up to your expectations, please contact us within (7) seven days after receiving your items(s) to request a return with some exclusions. (see below) 

Please do not return items to our store without pre-approval, as we will need to review and indicate the appropriate steps required for your return. We do not accept returns on all items for cost and space reasons. (see below) We will inspect all items upon return, and if your return is approved, we'll send you instructions on how and where to return your package. To start a return, you can contact us at sales@ah-bohd.ca. Items without a request first will not be taken.

Please note: Return shipping & shipping charges cannot be refunded and will be deducted from your refund.

If an item is damaged during the return process, we will assess the refund amount based on its received condition. A Damage Fee of 25% or more of the purchase price will be applied depending on the state of the returned item. Please note if the item is considered unsalvageable, we may not be able to provide any refund. 

If your item is eligible for a return, your item must be in the same condition that you received it, unused, with tags, and in its original packaging to be eligible for a return. You'll also require the original receipt or proof of purchase. Some items hold a restocking fee of 25-35%.

Damages and issues
Please inspect your order upon reception and contact us immediately (within 24 hours) if the item is defective, damaged or if you receive the wrong product so that we can evaluate the issue and make it right.

Exceptions / non-returnable items
Certain items are non-refundable, like floor model and final sale items, custom order pieces (including furniture, rugs and art), all furniture, hardwire light fixtures, items damaged by daily wear. Please get in touch if you have questions or concerns about your specific article.
Unfortunately, we cannot accept returns on sale items or gift cards, and delivery fees are non-refundable. 

Exchanges
The fastest way to ensure you get what you want is to return the item you have, and once the return is accepted, make a separate purchase for the new item.

Refunds
We will notify you once we receive and inspect your refunded item and let you know if the refund was approved or not. If approved, we issue a refund immediately on your original payment method. Please remember that it can take some time for your bank or credit card company to process and post the refund. Most financial institutions take 5-10 to return your funds. 

Order Cancellations
Orders are eligible for cancellation within 24 hours of the initial order, excluding Farrow & Ball paint and accessories. A refund is provided back to the original method of payment without question. 

Manufacturer Defects/Transit Damage
Unfortunately, damages can happen, and we get that. If you happen to have an item with a manufacturer defect, please inform us within 24 hours of receiving the item. If you are obtaining white glove delivery, please inspect the piece before the drivers depart and have them make a note of any damages or defects. Defects or damages that happen over time are only available within the first six months of receiving the item; after six months, we can no longer guarantee replacement or credit. All items are subject to approval after we have an opportunity to inspect the defective item. 

Please Note: Natural materials, such as wood and marble, have variations, and these imperfections are not considered defects. As foreign wood adapts to different climates, it can shift in size, resulting in cracking. These are not necessarily product defects but rather a wonderful reminder of their organic nature. 

Make a Claim: Please email sales@ah-bohd.ca to begin your claim request for defects or damages. We’ll reach out to you as soon as possible with the following steps! This process can take anywhere from 3-5 weeks to complete as we work to issue a replacement or suitable solution. We will be working hard behind the scenes to settle it as quickly as feasible but are presently experiencing delays in response times from claims. 

Cancelling Your Order
Please get in touch with us within 24hrs of placing your order to request a cancellation. If your order has shipped out already, shipping is non-refundable. You may also be required to incur the inconvenience and cost of having to receive the item and ship it back if we are unable to reroute the product during transit. 

Please Note: Custom and made-to-order items are not eligible for cancellation after 48hrs. Unshipped back ordered items can be cancelled without issue!

GUS* MODERN - HOME DELIVERY – FLAT 8% SHIPPING*  – Small items will ship via UPS directly to you. For more oversized items, the delivery team will carefully unload the order outside your location. We suggest asking a family member or friend for an extra hand to move the item to its final position.

Contact your local Gus* Modern retail store for more information. We calculate a flat 8% shipping rate on the MSRP of your order before any applicable discounts or rebates.

White-Glove Delivery

Both Free Local White glove service and Long Distance White glove service is available in most areas, including a room of choice, unpacking, assembly and garbage removal.

Oversized and heavy items are not guaranteed beyond main floor entry for liability reasons. Please double-check the weight and measurements before ordering. We ask you to contact us with any questions regarding the size and weight of your products. 

A representative from the delivery team will contact you when your shipment is available. Please ensure all walkways and the area you wish to place the item(s) is clear and ready for delivery; we do not move furniture to accommodate your delivery. We ask that you inspect all items before the delivery team’s departure.

Order Notes

Please note during checkout all specific or unique situations the delivery team may encounter during delivery—no elevator, second floor, etc. 

Please ensure items fit through and into their desired destination before ordering. Double-check doorways and stairwells. If you have any questions about the size, please don't hesitate to ask. 

NOTE: We cannot accept a return or exchange for items that do not fit or cannot be delivered due to size or building constraints.
