Q2: What materials are used in your furniture?
A: We are committed to quality and sustainability. Our products are primarily crafted from solid hardwoods (such as rubberwood, acacia, and oak) and high-grade engineered woods (like MDF and plywood) with real wood veneers. These materials are selected for their durability, stability, and aesthetic appeal. We prioritize partners who source wood from responsibly managed forests.

Q3: How can I be sure about the color and finish of a product?
A: We provide high-resolution, professionally taken photographs of all our products from multiple angles on our product pages. However, we acknowledge that screen calibrations can vary between devices. For the most accurate representation, please read the detailed written description of the finish (e.g., “matte walnut,” “distressed oak”). If you require absolute certainty, we recommend requesting a physical wood sample if available, or contacting our customer service team for further detailed description.

Q4: Where can I find the dimensions and weight capacity for a product?
A: Detailed product dimensions (Height, Width, Depth), item weight, and weight capacity (where applicable) are clearly listed in the “Specifications” or “Product Details” section on each product page on halous.store. We strongly recommend you measure your available space before ordering to ensure a perfect fit.

Q5: Are your products ready-to-assemble (RTA)?
A: The majority of our furniture is designed as Ready-to-Assemble (RTA) to ensure more efficient shipping and lower costs for our customers. This also allows for easier movement through doorways and stairwells. Each product’s listing will specify if assembly is required. All necessary hardware and clear, step-by-step assembly instructions are included in the package.

Q6: Do you offer product customization?
A: Currently, HaloUS LLC does not offer customization services for our products. We focus on delivering a curated collection of pre-designed items that meet our high standards for quality, style, and value.

III. Ordering Process

Q7: How do I place an order?
A: Placing an order is simple:

Browse halous.store and add your desired items to the shopping cart.
Review your cart to confirm items and quantities.
Proceed to checkout.
Enter your shipping information.
Select your preferred shipping method.
Enter your payment details via our secure Stripe gateway (supporting credit/debit cards, Apple Pay, and Google Pay).
Review your order summary and click “Place Order.” You will receive an order confirmation email immediately.

Q8: Can I modify or cancel my order after placing it?
A: We process orders very quickly to ensure fast delivery. Therefore, modifications or cancellations are only possible if the order has not yet advanced to the “Processing” stage in our warehouse. You must contact us immediately by phone at +84818685222 to request a cancellation. Once an order is processing or has shipped, it is subject to our standard return policy upon delivery.

Q9: Why am I having trouble checking out?
A: Common checkout issues can include:

Payment Declined: This is typically initiated by your bank for security reasons. Please contact your bank to pre-authorize the transaction.
Address Verification Error: Ensure the billing address you entered matches the address on file with your card issuer exactly.
Browser Issues: Try refreshing the page, clearing your browser cache, or using a different web browser.
If problems persist, please contact our customer service team.

Q10: Will I receive a confirmation for my order?
A: Yes, immediately after your order is successfully placed, an automated order confirmation email will be sent to the email address you provided at checkout. This email contains your order number, a list of purchased items, shipping address, and the order total. If you do not see this email within 30 minutes, please check your spam/junk folder.

IV. Payment & Pricing

Q11: What payment methods do you accept?
A: We accept all major credit and debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover) as well as digital wallets (Apple Pay, Google Pay). All payments are securely processed through our partner, Stripe.

Q12: Is my payment information secure?
A: Absolutely. Security is our top priority. We never directly handle or store your full payment details. All transactions are encrypted and processed by Stripe, a PCI DSS Level 1 certified payment processor—the most stringent level of certification in the payments industry.

Q13: Why is there a pending charge on my account?
A: When you place an order, your bank may place a temporary “authorization hold” on the funds to ensure they are available. This is a standard practice and is not a final charge. The hold will typically be removed within 1-5 business days if the order is canceled or replaced by the final charge when your order ships.

Q14: Do you charge sales tax?
A: We are required to collect sales tax on orders shipped to addresses within states where HaloUS LLC has a tax nexus. The applicable sales tax will be automatically calculated and displayed during the checkout process before you complete your purchase.

Q15: The product is on sale, but the discount isn’t applying.
A: Please ensure you have entered any promotional code correctly in the designated field at checkout. If the issue continues, verify the terms of the promotion (e.g., it may apply only to specific products or have a minimum order value). Contact customer service for assistance.

V. Shipping & Delivery

Q16: Where do you ship?
A: We currently ship to all 50 states within the United States and to a growing number of international destinations. Shipping costs and delivery times will vary for international orders.

Q17: How much does shipping cost, and how long will it take?
A: Shipping costs are calculated based on the size, weight, and destination of your order. You will see the exact shipping cost options during checkout before you finalize your payment. Delivery times vary but are typically between 3-10 business days for in-stock items within the continental U.S., depending on the shipping method selected. Please refer to our detailed Shipping Policy for more information.

Q18: How will my order be shipped?
A: Smaller items may ship via parcel carriers like UPS or FedEx. Larger furniture items are typically shipped via Freight Carrier (LTL) and will be delivered to your curb-side. White-glove delivery (in-home placement and unpacking) may be available for an additional fee for certain large items; this option will be presented at checkout if available.

Q19: Can I track my order?
A: Yes. Once your order has shipped, you will receive a shipping confirmation email that includes your tracking number(s) and a link to track your package’s progress. You can also log into your account on halous.store to view your order status and tracking information.

Q20: What should I do if my order arrives damaged?
A: We take great care in packaging our products, but damage can occasionally occur in transit.

Do not refuse the delivery.
Inspect the package(s) immediately upon delivery.
Take clear photographs of any damage to the product and the packaging.
Contact our customer service team within 48 hours of delivery at lieuphidinh253@gmail.com with your order number and the photos. We will promptly arrange for a replacement or resolution.

VI. Returns, Refunds & Exchanges

Q21: What is your return policy?
A: We offer a 30-day return policy from the date of delivery for items in new, unused, and unassembled condition, in their original packaging. You must obtain a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number from our customer service team before returning any item. Please see our full Refund and Return Policy for complete details, including restocking fees and return shipping responsibilities.

Q22: How do I start a return?
A: To initiate a return, please contact our customer service team via email or phone to request an RMA number. Do not ship any items back without this authorization.

Q23: Are there any items that cannot be returned?
A: Yes, for health and safety reasons, we cannot accept returns on items that have been assembled, used, altered, or are not in their original packaging.

Q24: Who pays for return shipping?
A: For returns based on a change of mind or sizing, the customer is responsible for the return shipping costs. If the return is due to our error (e.g., wrong item shipped) or a manufacturer defect, we will cover the return shipping costs.

Q25: How long does it take to receive my refund?
A: Once we receive and inspect the returned item, it takes up to 5 business days to process the refund. It may then take an additional 5-10 business days for the refund to appear on your original payment method, depending on your bank’s processing time.

Q26: Do you offer exchanges?
A: To get you the correct product as quickly as possible, we handle exchanges by processing a return for the unwanted item and having you place a new order for the desired item. This ensures the new item is reserved for you immediately.

VII. Product Care & Assembly

Q27: Are assembly instructions included?
A: Yes, every RTA product includes detailed, step-by-step assembly instructions with diagrams. Many products also have a QR code on the packaging that links to a digital version or a video tutorial.

A: Please contact our customer service team immediately with your order number and a description or photo of the missing or problematic part. We will ship the required components to you at no charge as quickly as possible.

Dust regularly with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth.

Use coasters under drinks and placemats under hot dishes to prevent rings and heat damage.
