(POLITIQUE DE LIVRAISON, D’EXPÉDITION ET D’EXÉCUTION)
SUMMARY : Meubles de Luxe processes orders after verification and availability checks, with confirmation sent once accepted; orders may be changed or canceled only before fulfillment, and the merchant may cancel orders with a full refund if issues arise. Delivery is mainly within the Greater Montreal area (up to 75 km), with multiple delivery options (curbside, room-of-choice, freight/white glove, or free warehouse pickup), each with estimated timelines and fees. Customers must be present, prepare access, and inspect items at delivery, noting any visible damage immediately. Risk transfers at shipment or receipt depending on delivery type, and delays due to carriers, weather, or force majeure are not the company’s liability, though Quebec law allows cancellation if delivery exceeds 30 days without valid cause. All damage, missing, or incorrect item claims must be reported within strict 24–48 hour deadlines, while returns or exchanges for preference reasons follow the separate return policy and never result in cash refunds. Pickup orders require ID, proper vehicles, and inspection within 48 hours, and all shipping disputes are governed by Quebec law.
SECTION I: ORDER PROCESSING & FULFILLMENT
1. Order Confirmation and Processing Timeline
1.1. Order Receipt: Upon successful submission of your order and payment authorization, you will receive an automated Order Acknowledgement email. This email confirms we have received your order but does not constitute our acceptance of the order or confirmation of product availability.
1.2. Order Verification and Acceptance: All orders are subject to verification and availability. Our sales team conducts a manual review typically within 1-2 business days (Monday-Friday, excluding Quebec statutory holidays) to:
- Confirm item availability from our warehouse or manufacturer.
- Verify pricing accuracy.
- Confirm shipping address validity and delivery feasibility.
- Screen for potential fraud.
Once verified, you will receive an Order Confirmation email, which constitutes our formal acceptance of your contract of sale. If an item is unavailable or an error is identified, we will contact you via phone or email with options (e.g., backorder, substitution, or cancellation).
1.3. Backorders: If an item is temporarily out of stock but available for future shipment, we may place it on a backorder status. You will be notified of the estimated restock date. You may choose to keep the item on order, substitute it, or cancel it for a full refund. Partial shipments of in-stock items may be arranged, with separate shipping charges applicable.
2. Changes or Cancellations Before Shipment
2.1. Customer-Requested Changes/Cancellations: To request a change (address, item) or cancellation to a verified order, you must contact our Customer Service at (514) 321-1666 or via our contact form immediately. Requests are only honored if the order has not yet been processed for picking and packing. We cannot guarantee changes or cancellations can be made once the order has entered the fulfillment stage.
2.2. Merchant-Initiated Cancellations: We reserve the right to refuse or cancel any order at any time for reasons including, but not limited to: product unavailability, inability to obtain authorization for your payment, pricing or product description errors, suspected fraudulent activity, or inability to deliver to the provided address. If we cancel your order, we will issue a full refund to your original payment method.

6. Transfer of Risk and Title
6.1. Risk of Loss/Damage: The risk of loss and damage for the products passes to you, the customer, upon our delivery to the carrier for Standard shipments, or upon your receipt and signing for Premium/Freight shipments. You are responsible for filing any claims with the carrier for damage occurring in transit, supported by the notations made on the delivery receipt at the time of delivery.

We are not liable for delays caused by carrier delays, severe weather, incorrect addresses provided by the customer, acts of government, labor disputes, or other circumstances beyond our reasonable control (“Force Majeure”).
7.3. Statutory Right Regarding Delays (Quebec CPA):
Under the Quebec Consumer Protection Act, if we are unable to deliver within 30 days of the delivery date specified in the contract (or agreed upon after scheduling), and the delay is not due to Force Majeure, you have the right to cancel the contract and obtain a full refund, unless you accept a further delay in writing.
