Decibel Editions / Delivery & returnsOrdering by inquiry

From studio
to space.

Discuss a piece, its specification and delivery with the studio. Preparing or sending an inquiry does not place an order or make a payment.

Plan the journey.
Allow for the piece.

Production time and shipping time are different. Ask about both before approving a made-to-order piece, custom specification or project.

The piece and the quote
Confirm the design, finish, quantity, final price, applicable taxes and delivery charges in writing before placing an order.
Schedule and destination
Confirm availability, production timing, shipping method and delivery estimates for the specific piece and destination.
Delivery + installation
Decibel handles shipping logistics, white-glove delivery and installation. Specify the services you need and confirm their scope and cost in your quote.
Access and receiving
Share entrances, stairs, elevators, loading restrictions and the route into the space. Confirm who will receive the piece and any site requirements.

Know what
the handoff includes.

Confirm unpacking, room placement, assembly, installation and packaging removal. These are different from a threshold delivery, which may stop at the building entrance.

  1. Confirm
    the address.

    Check delivery availability and any unusual destination or freight-forwarding arrangement before ordering.

  2. Review
    the access.

    Share clearances and site restrictions before the delivery service is agreed.

  3. Plan
    the arrival.

    Confirm the receiving arrangements, service level and schedule for your order.

  4. Keep
    the details.

    Retain the quote, agreed specification, order terms and delivery instructions.

Before you commit

Changes,
returns &

Requesting a change or return

Changes and cancellations

Contact the studio promptly. Ask what can be changed at the current production or shipping stage, and confirm any applicable costs and agreed next steps in writing.

Damage, defects or an incorrect item

Tell the studio what happened and provide the relevant order details and photographs. These concerns should be considered separately from a change-of-mind return. This guidance does not limit any rights you have under applicable law.
