Shipping and Returns Process
This article details our shipping, delivery, and return processes for both Austin, TX area customers and online customers.
Order Processing
Please contact us at 512-821-1302 or email us at info@worldinteriors.com to confirm stock availability before purchasing.
All orders received during standard business hours (Monday through Friday, 9:00am to 5:00pm CST), are processed and shipped within 5-7 business days, depending on stock availability and shipment method required. Please allow additional processing time for orders received outside standard business hours and during national holidays.
An email will be sent to notify the customer if we are unable to ship their order in a timely manner (i.e. backorder due to out of stock product, issues with order received, or other delays). At this time, the customer may choose to leave the backorder open to await inventory, or we will accept cancellation for a full refund as long as the cancellation occurs before the order leaves our facility. Orders cannot be cancelled for a full refund once the order is released to the carrier for shipment.
