Please check the order confirmation and note that the specification does not include freight costs.
Estimated delivery costs stated in connection with web orders, offers and confirmations are not final. The final delivery cost is determined only when dispatching the order based on actual weight and volume.

Retention of ownership
Ownership of the supplied goods is the right of by Room until the entire amount, incl. of any accrued interest and costs, is paid.
Delivery
Inventories can be dispatched within a few working days. Delivery of inventories is subject to order confirmation and any special conditions will be specified. Unless otherwise agreed, by Room will arrange for delivery through a forwarding agent chosen by by Room. The forwarding agent will notify you on the day of delivery. I.e. you will receive a mail or a text message that your shipment is out for delivery that day. Since your items are already loaded on the truck and on their way to you, it is impossible for you to change the date of delivery.
Delivery will be made to the address supplied by the buyer and it is buyers’ responsibility that the delivery place is accessible. Should the forwarding agent try to deliver your goods in vain, because your goods reception is closed, extra costs of 80% of the freight amount will be charged to you. By Room has no obligations toward reporting tariffs, taxes or other.
All items from by Room are sold EX WORKS, i.e. freight costs for each shipment will be invoiced to the buyer.
Facts about your purchase
Items from by Room are basically divided into three categories:
- Original, old items
- Partly newly manufactured semi handmade items made of recycled materials
- Newly manufactured, semi handmade items made of new or used materials
Please notice: When purchasing any of our items from the above mentioned categories we draw your attention to the fact that no two items necessarily are identical despite the same item number. There will be differences in shade, color and size from one item to another. This means, that you will have to expect differences to the item seen on our homepage or at a fair. By Room therefore cannot guarantee that the purchased item is identical to the item seen.
As for items made of wood, we draw your attention to the fact that wood is a living material, which will change over time. Wood adapts to the surroundings and small cracks may appear between the wood grains. Items that consist of iron will eventually convert to rust.
Purchase of items with leather, please be aware that leather is a natural product, and there will be variation in both color, appearance and surface. Small scratches and scars are natural and not production defects. Due to the processing process, leather goods can smell a little, but it will decrease over time.
Our throws and many other of our textile products are made from recycled cotton and there will be differences in the weaving, due to the material being reused. This is not an error or flaw but the uniqueness of the item.
In general, our products are made from recycled and sustainable materials.
We therefor urge our customers to keep in mind, that no two items are quite similar.
