Overview
We want you to be satisfied. Our returns and refunds policy explains options for faulty products, incorrect shipments, change-of-mind returns (where eligible), and warranty claims.
1. Defective or damaged items on arrival
If an item arrives damaged or defective, notify us within 7 calendar days of delivery at [orders@avumgmt.ca] with photos and order number. We will arrange a repair, replacement, or refund at no cost to you. For items damaged in transit, we will coordinate with the carrier and may require a damage claim.
2. Incorrect items
If we shipped the wrong item, notify us within 7 days and we will cover return shipping and ship the correct item.
3. Change-of-mind returns (non-defective)
If you change your mind, eligible items may be returned within 14 days of delivery in unused, resalable condition with original packaging. Personalized, custom-made, clearance, and special-order furniture or home goods may not be eligible for change-of-mind returns—these terms will be noted on the product page.
-
Return shipping: Customer pays return shipping unless otherwise stated.

Refunds: Refunds issued to the original payment method within 7–14 business days after we receive and inspect the return, minus the original shipping charge and a restocking fee where applicable.

To start a return or report a defect, email orders@avumgmt.ca with your order number, photos (for damage/defect), and a brief description. We will provide a Return Authorization (RA) and instructions.
