Purchasing & Sale Policy
Pricing & Availability
All prices are subject to change without notice at any time. Available inventory is subject to change without notice at any time. As a result, if your order is canceled for any reason, you may not be able to purchase the same item you originally ordered, and if the same item is available, it may not be available at the same price of your original purchase.
Sales Tax
We will collect sales or use tax (collectively “Sales Tax”) and Value-Added Tax (“VAT”) on purchases of taxable items from buyers located in certain jurisdictions where we have determined that we have a legal obligation to collect taxes for such purchases. In these jurisdictions, we will remit the tax collected from buyers to the appropriate taxing authority.
Sales Tax and VAT will apply based on a buyer’s shipping address rather than a buyer’s billing address. These taxes will apply to all purchases of taxable items for applicable jurisdictions.
Applicable tax rates may vary by jurisdiction. For Sales Tax purposes, some states may include shipping fees in the calculation of Sales Tax while other states may exclude shipping fees.
Cancellation Policy
We reserve the right to cancel orders at our sole discretion.
At Valyou, we understand that circumstances may arise where you need to cancel your orders. Please review our cancellation policy outlined below:
Cancellation Timeframe
In-Stock Items:
Customers can cancel their order before receiving a tracking number.
If the cancellation request is made within this timeframe, no additional fees will be incurred, and a full refund will be provided.
Made-to-Order and Pre-Order Items:
These items can be canceled without any fees within 24 hours of purchase.
After 24 hours, cancellations are not allowed and will incur a 50% cancellation fee.
Cancellation after Receiving a Tracking Number
If a cancellation request is made after receiving a tracking number, a restocking fee of 50% will apply to the order total. This restocking fee will be deducted from the refund amount, irrespective of whether the item is on pre-order or currently in stock.
Cancellation of Orders in Transit
In the event that an order is already in transit but the customer still wishes to cancel, we can request for the order to be re-routed to a different customer. However, please note that a re-routing fee will be deducted from the refund amount including the 50% cancellation fee.
The exact amount of the re-routing fee will depend on the specific circumstances and will be communicated to the customer during the cancellation process.
Cancellation of Order with a Promotion
Should you opt to cancel an item that was part of a "Buy & Get Free" promotion, kindly be aware that the cancellation will nullify the promotion, and the value of the complimentary item may be subtracted from your refund total.
We strive to provide flexibility and accommodate cancellation requests whenever possible. If you have any questions or need assistance with canceling your order, please reach out to our customer support team.

Shipping Contact, Billing and Payment Information
Please review your shipping, contact, billing and payment information for accuracy before submitting an order. Billing information must match the billing information you have on file with the issuing bank.
Change of Address
Once an item has been shipped, we understand that circumstances may arise where a customer needs to change the shipping address. However, please note that changing the shipping address after the item has already been shipped can incur additional costs and logistical challenges. If a customer wishes to change the shipping address after the item has been shipped, they will be responsible for the address change shipping fee. This fee will be a minimum of $150 or the actual cost incurred by us, whichever amount is greater. We highly recommend customers to provide accurate and up-to-date shipping information at the time of purchase to avoid any inconvenience. In the event that an address change is necessary after the item has been shipped, please contact our customer support team as soon as possible to initiate the process. Please note that while we will make every effort to accommodate address change requests, there may be situations where it is not feasible or may result in a delay in delivery. We cannot guarantee that an address change can be processed successfully.
Missed Delivery appointment
Once your item is ready to be shipped, the shipping carrier will schedule a delivery date/time for you. Date and times can not always be changed. Missing that appointment will result in redelivery and a rescheduling fee of $150 or the actual cost incurred by us, whichever amount is greater.
Items won't fit main entrance
It is the customer's responsibility to carefully review the dimensions of the furniture and assess the suitability of their main entrance for accommodating it. If the customer requests cancellation due to the aforementioned scenario, return fees will be applicable and a full refund will not be granted.
All delivery times are estimates and are not guaranteed. Shipments may be affected by weather-related delays, carrier limitations or other events outside of our control.
Shipping Process/Damages
