GENERAL
It is important that your shopping experience is hassle free, so prior to purchase, please take the time to read the terms and conditions outlined below, and if you have any queries, please contact Ruby & Rose Interiors prior to purchase.

Whilst we endeavour to keep the website up-to-date, due to the popularity of some items, they might be unavailable at the time of purchase. If this occurs, you will be contacted within 24 hours to discuss your options -- i.e. place the item on backorder, purchase an alternative product, or request a full refund.

PAYMENT -- WITHIN AUSTRALIA
PayPal shopping carts are used throughout this website. PayPal is an internationally-recognised, safe and secure method of payment. If you would like more information about PayPal prior to shopping, please click on the logo below:

Upon receipt and clearance of your payment, your items will be despatched within 2-3 working days (Monday to Friday, excluding public holidays).

POSTAGE -- WITHIN AUSTRALIA
Due to escalating postage costs, Ruby & Rose Interiors is no longer able to offer free postage within Australia. At check out, postage will be charged based on a percentage of the total amount of the purchase. Therefore by purchasing multiple items in a single transaction, your overall postage cost will be reduced, thereby saving you enormously on postage. For your information, the postage percentage schedule is outlined below:

NB: Upon receiving your order, if we deem that the postage percentage calculated is out of balance with your geographical destination, or the total size of the parcel, we may reduce the postage charge and offer a refund via PayPal.

Provided items are in stock, all orders will be despatched within 24-48 hours of receipt of order. All items (except furniture and larger items) will be sent via Australia Post Registered Mail (within Australia). Depending on your location within Australia, your items should take between 2-5 working days to arrive (Monday to Friday, excluding public holidays). Delays in delivery may occur due to public holidays and other unforeseen circumstances -- Ruby & Rose Interiors does not take responsibility for these delays.

NB: Registered Mail includes insurance for items up to $100 value for loss or damage. Ruby & Rose Interiors will pay additional insurance for items in excess of $100 at the time of despatch.

Your order will be delivered during normal business hours and Registered Mail deliveries need to be signed for upon delivery. If nobody is home at the time of delivery, the parcel will be taken to your local post office and a calling card will be left.

If you require your items more urgently, please contact Ruby & Rose Interiors prior to purchase, and we will investigate alternative postage methods for you, e.g. express post or a courier service. Once this information has been obtained, you will be provided with details for payment.

Bulky items such as furniture will be sent via road transport. Due to the many variations in the furniture products we offer, it is not possible to include freight costs on our website. If you wish to purchase an item of furniture, please email your "Wish List" to mdk@rubyandroseinteriors.com.au and you will be provided with the freight cost and details for payment.

PAYMENT & POSTAGE -- INTERNATIONAL

Alternatively, you can choose to keep the item and we will compensate you for any drop in value. If the problem is not major, we will repair the item within a reasonable time.
