-
4.8 White-Glove Service
Some products that are oversize, heavy, fragile or one of a kind are delivered by our white-glove service to ensure that they arrive safely. White-glove products cannot be shipped by any other delivery method because of their weight, their size and/or the special care and handling they require. White-glove deliveries are made Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Weekend delivery is not available.
As part of our white-glove service, we will bring the product(s) into your home, perform light assembly (e.g., attaching the legs to a table and inserting hardware) and dispose of the packaging materials. Our white-glove service is unable to provide more-involved types of assembly and construction, and we cannot move existing furniture or make any modifications to your home. Please measure your space (doorways, elevators, stairways, etc.) before buying products from us to ensure that they will fit into your home. If a product does not fit, it will be sent back to us and return shipping charges and a restocking fee will be deducted from the amount of your refund. In addition, the original shipping charges will not be refunded.
Please contact us at 1-516-277-1010 if there could be any delivery challenges at your home, such as multiple f lights of stairs or a narrow or long driveway. Note that additional charges may apply in such instances.
For more information about our white-glove service, please see our Shipping & Deliverypage.
-
4.9 Entryway Service
Our entryway service is an alternative to our white-glove service and may be available for certain oversize, heavy, fragile or one of a kind products. Entryway deliveries are made Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Weekend delivery is not available. Note that our entryway service is less expensive than our white-glove service, but it does not include bringing the product(s) into your home, performing light assembly or disposing of packaging materials. For more information about our entryway service, please see our Shipping & Delivery page.

Upon receipt of your order, please inspect your package. If you receive a damaged product, Pasargad Home will replace the product or issue a refund (including shipping charges) at no cost to you. Simply fill out this form to let us know what happened.
In the event that you observe significant damage to the product’s outer packaging, please reject the shipment and have the carrier return it. If there is minor damage to the packaging, please indicate this when you sign for the shipment.
Please note that some products are shipped directly from the manufacturer, and others are shipped to our warehouse first for repackaging. As a result, your purchases may arrive in multiple shipments. Please visit the “Orders” section of your online Pasargad Home account to track the status of your orders. If all of your shipments have been delivered and you are still missing products, please Contact Us immediately.

You can find out if a product is eligible for return by reviewing the product description on the Services, your order confirmation email or the order details page in the “Orders” section of your online Pasargad Home account. Products marked “final sale” are not eligible for return.
In the event that we issue a refund, we will credit the payment method you used to purchase the product, but note that we will not refund the original shipping fees.
