A: When you buy from Haiku Designs you are not fueling the big-name box stores of the world. Here at Haiku we are proud to be a small operation located in Wilsonville, Oregon. With fewer than a dozen employees, we are a company based on solid values, and we firmly believe in providing the best customer experience and offering high quality products. For 2 decades we have made customer relationships our priority by giving each and every order the personalized attention people deserve. From our hand selected product offerings to the one-on-one phone calls before your new beautiful furniture is shipped, we strive to continuously demonstrate that we genuinely care about our catalog selection and the wonderful people that shop through it. If we sound like the kind of people you would like to do business with, and we can provide you with the personalized shopping experience you are seeking, then you have found the answer to why you should choose Haiku Designs.
A: As an online retailer only, we do not have a showroom. If you require more information about a particular item to help you make a purchasing decision, please do not hesitate to call anytime with questions.
The Products
A: While our designers at Haiku Designs look for beautiful pieces to match your home, we also pay close attention to the manufacturing process, the sourcing and materials used. We love items that are well made and built to last, so they don't end up in landfills. We prefer items that are eco-friendly and sustainable, as well as items that are organic with no off-gassing, and we pass on a lot more items than we accept, but sometimes, you may just be looking for a beautiful piece. We do our best to call out an item’s eco-friendliness and sustainability (or when it’s not). Our Haiku Concierges are happy to answer questions about your specific items to make sure you have a beautiful piece that meets your needs. Check out this article from our blog, “What is the Difference?” where we define some of these terms used in some of our listings.
A: Typically, design is subjective and in the eye of the beholder, but our Haiku Designs family of customers define Japanese Modern as furniture that has a Modern look and feel, and is often inspired by Japanese design. Usually these pieces feature clean lines and simple, yet elegant, designs. Furniture that can identify as Japanese Modern are often beautiful not only because of the design, but also because of the quality and craftsmanship that make these pieces stand out. Since 1990, we’ve searched and curated items looking for this beautiful aesthetic. We think you’ll love these items, too.
A: All furniture items are sold with a 1 year manufacturer's warranty against any defects in craftsmanship or functionality. Beyond that it is our desire to have happy customers and earn your business any time you have home furnishing needs. Feel free to contact us with any issues you have with a Haiku purchase and we’ll do what we can to help you resolve them.
Ordering and Payment
A: Orders can be placed online or over the phone. When you create a login on the website, it will allow you to keep items in your cart, shop at your leisure and go back to the items you are deciding between. Additionally, you can update any changes in shipping information, keep tabs on a current order, or ask questions of the CS team.
A: We are not in the business of saying no when customers want to pay for their items! We do accept all major credit cards, PayPal and payment plans with Affirm--and if checks are your thing, we can make that work too!
A: You will not see the charge hit your card until the items are being prepared for shipping. With Copeland, Saloom and any other custom or special orders, payment is taken immediately and purchases may not be cancelled unless done so within 3 days of the order date.

You will earn 5% off of any order and of course, free shipping applies to any and all orders. If you have some limitation caused by your service we'll help to arrange and offset the cost of any install or set-up services that we can provide.
A: Generally, yes. We mark items as Available indicating they are generally In Stock and Ready to Ship. In addition to all of our own in stock inventory, some of our items are shipped directly from the manufacturers, have a lead time to ship, or are made to order. Our manufacturers are always really good at making awesome products that we love, but sometimes are not that great at getting us their inventory info promptly, so we try not over-promise by saying "Yes, it's In Stock".
A: We have a few items that we can't sell as "New" since they've had open boxes, been used as floor models, or have packaging issues. If you're interested in learning more and getting a great deal, please call our Haiku Concierges.

Shipping
A: Once you have committed to your purchase, the process of getting that item to your home should be seamless and simple, maybe even enjoyable? At Haiku Designs, your Delivery concierge will handle the shipping process from start to finish. Directly after your order is placed the wheels start turning as your order is prepared and packed for shipment to your home or office. If you have any hesitation, interest or general curiosity about the delivery process please take a moment to read the following post about how we ship from our Haiku Designs blog, Shipping Made Easy, which runs through the process from beginning to end.
A: White Glove is a common term used to encompass anything beyond standard freight deliveries. We can arrange everything from delivery inside the front door to complete assembly of an entire home worth of furniture! Free shipping is offered with all furniture items and this will get your order to your home although it is your responsibility to get the items inside. White Glove will be required to get anything beyond the driveway. Threshold delivery gets your order inside the front door or garage. Room of Choice will get your items wherever you need them inside the home. White Glove Assembly will get your items delivered, assembled and all packing materials removed. Yes there is an added cost with a White Glove Delivery and we're more than happy to get a quote based on the actual items you are ordering delivered to your physical address. Simply choose "White Glove - Contact me for options" under the shipping options at Checkout. A Haiku Concierge will contact you ASAP to discuss the options for your area.
A: Furniture is shipped via freight carrier and comes palletized and strapped to protect it during transit. Your personal Haiku concierge will communicate with you how and when the shipment will take place. This is done via email and a follow up phone call. Please let us know if there are any issues, special requests etc. that can hinder a successful delivery. The carriers will contact you to set up the final delivery which you must be present for, and a signature is required.
A: Although rare, occasionally things are damaged during the shipping process. If your items arrive with any issues (holes in boxes, flattened corners, etc.) you simply need to make a note of the damage on the proof of delivery, and then sign to accept the shipment. Notify the delivery concierge team and any issues will be handled as quickly and efficiently as possible.
A: Yes! You can log into your order at haikudesigns.com to see the status. Additionally, you will receive tracking information once your items have been picked up and are moving. This will give you real time status of your items as they move from the warehouse to your door!
A: Furniture over $250 ships for free in the Continental (Lower 48) United States. We do charge for shipping to Alaska, Hawaii, US Territories and International shipments. What this means is that we will cover the ground shipping or freight cost to get your item/s to your home. Ground deliveries will be dropped off at the front door. Freight shipments will be delivered to your driveway. Please be aware that unless you have arranged White Glove or Threshold delivery it will be your responsibility to get the items into your home or garage. Some drivers will help to get things into a garage but this is not required of them. Additionally, if you live in an apartment building, it will be your responsibility to get the items from the ground floor to your apartment. White Glove delivery, which includes anything from "just inside the front door (threshold)" to "complete set up" is available at an added cost with all orders. If you are interested in this service, please ask our delivery concierge for a quote.
Cancellations & Returns:
A: Yes, we absolutely take returns! Please be sure to contact Haiku Designs before any items are returned so that we can discuss the process and the proper steps to be taken. Additionally, it is important to know that although shipping to you is free, you will be responsible for the cost of returning the item/s to us.
A: Yes, you may cancel any order after it is placed. Copeland, West Bros and Saloom orders need to be cancelled within 72 hours after being placed. Any custom, made to order items that are not cancelled within 72 hours are charged in full and may not be cancelled or returned.
