RETURN & EXCHANGES

Does furniture take longer to arrive?

Furniture orders often take longer to arrive due to the logistics of shipping larger pieces. In addition, most furniture pieces are delivered by white glove services. White glove delivery services need to make an appointment with you for in–home delivery.

Once you receive a shipping notification email, a shipping company representative will call you within two to three weeks to schedule a delivery time.

Your actual delivery date should fall within the estimated arrival date range for your item(s). Check your estimated arrival date by visiting the Order History section in My Account.

What is white-glove delivery & what do i need to know when using it?

White Glove services will deliver the item/s into your room of choice, perform light assembly (for instance, attach legs or insert hardware), and dispose of the packaging materials.

Some things to know:

  • White Glove & Entryway items cannot be shipped by any other delivery method because of their weight, their size, and the special care and handling they require.
  • Our delivery service will contact you to schedule an appointment shortly before the arrival date.
  • Deliveries are made Monday through Friday 8am-5pm. Weekend delivery is not available.
  • The delivery service cannot make any modifications to your home. Please measure your space (doorways, elevators, stairways, etc.) before buying the item to ensure it will fit into your home. If the item doesn’t fit, it will be sent back to us. Return shipping charges will be deducted from the amount of your refund. The original shipping charges will not be refunded.
  • If you’ve purchased multiple items shipping via White Glove or Entryway delivery, you may have multiple delivery appointments with different delivery companies. We work with several delivery companies, depending on the type of product and where it’s located.
  • Please contact us at 513.321.4730 if there could be any delivery challenges at your home such as multiple flights of stairs or a narrow or long driveway. Additional charges may apply.

  3. Call us at 513.321.4730 and we’ll help resolve the issue.

ET DESIGN CENTER

What is The ET Design Center?

The ET Design Center is a place to come touch, feel, and test-drive some of your favorite products from our site and see how beautifully they can be mixed and made your own. Visitors can book and enjoy a (totally free!) consultation with an English Traditions designer who will inevitably become your new best friend in home decor. He or she will sit with you, listen to what you need, look at whatever you’ve brought in for inspiration—photographs of your house, tears from a magazine—and then guide you to help find the English Traditions pieces you need. The designers know our inventory and vendors and can help you on your journey to create a home you love!

What happens after I book an appointment?

Once you book a consultation, your designer will reach out to learn more about any projects you are working on and your personal tastes. If you don’t have a specific design need in mind, that’s okay! Your designer would still love to connect with you to get a sense of your style.

Is there a fee for my consultation?

No! A visit to The ET Design Center is absolutely free, as is the inspiration and advice you’ll find there. You’ll pay only for any products you might buy via our website during your consultation.

What should I expect from a consultation?

In your appointment, you and your designer will discuss your style needs! You’ll leave your session with a clear direction for any projects you’re working on—and a shopping list for items that can help your stylish dreams come true.

Do I need to prepare before the consultation? Is there anything I should bring?

Anything you can provide in advance will help drive your conversation. Pictures of your current space, floor plans, measurements, and inspirational images will give your designer an idea of your space and style. If you know you are working within a certain budget, please let us know that as well, so we can tailor the conversation to your needs. Feel free to email any images or information to info@englishtraditions.com before your appointment.

How many of your products are represented at The ET Design Center?

While we’d love to show you everything, we have thousands of products available online and only so much space. Our designers update the space seasonally to showcase how you can mix the wide range of new pieces, vintage finds, artisanal creations, and designer favorites we currently love.

Can I buy something directly from The ET Design Center floor?

Of course! During your visit, a designer can help you order online any pieces you love and have them delivered to your home! Or you can bring your shopping list home and make a final decision about what to buy later.
