Frequently Asked Questions
ABOUT THE BRAND
-
Why did you first start Moss Furniture?
Our founder, Lisa was feeling uninspired by the 9-5 daily grind and wanting to find a way to bring her passions to life. After mustering the courage, Lisa plunged into designing and manufacturing her own furniture – an aspect of her day job that she absolutely loved. With a background in Interior Design, a love of colour and working with unique materials and finishes, Lisa saw an opportunity to enter the market with her own point of difference. As we spend so much time at home and at work, it’s incredibly important for us to surround ourselves in spaces and with objects that bring us joy. At Moss, we hope to empower people to be a little bolder, more playful and build the confident to truly express themselves.
-
What's your design process for creating?
Lead by our Creative Director and Founder, Lisa, our design process is a complex one. We start by analysing trend reports on colours, new materials, economic conditions and more. This research always sparks plenty of inspiration! Once a direction is established, we curate a collection and work with our trusted manufacturers to source materials and create samples. After final tweaks are made, we approve for production!
-
Where are your products made? And where are they designed?
Our products are proudly designed in Melbourne, Australia. While we manufacture out of China, we only work with suppliers who share our values on quality and sustainability.
-
Are your products sustainable?
At Moss, we not only endeavour to focus on the materials used, we also consider the end-of-life cycle for our products. We select materials that are either biodegradable, or can easily be recycled or reused, reducing our contribution to landfill. Our commitment extends beyond the products themselves – we also carefully package our items using eco-friendly materials.

Do products come assembled? Or will I have to put it together?
It will depend on the item. You can check out the product details of each item to see if assembly is required. Most assembly is relatively simple, larger/heavier items may require two people.

-
If I order several items, will they be delivered at the same time?
Not necessarily! Our Homewares are stored in a different location to our Furniture so will be picked, packed and delivered separately. If you have purchased items 'in stock' and items on 'pre-order', we will contact you to ask if you opt to wait for all goods to be available so all items are delivered together or you can have the pre-ordered items delivered at a later date.
-
How will I know when my item has been shipped?
Once your Furniture order has been processed, you will receive a confirmation of fulfilment and our delivery partner will be in contact to book in your delivery. Our delivery partner will call the day prior for a pre-call delivery to confirm details of the job and an SMS is sent with a 2-3 hour window timeframe. On the day of delivery, the drivers will call 30 minutes prior to delivery, between the timeframe given. For delivery of Homewares, you will receive all necessary tracking details from our courier partners.
-
What happens if my item is missing parts when it arrives?
Not a problem at all! If this happens, please send us an email and we will have the missing parts posted out to you. If we don't happen to have the part in stock, we can organise a replacement item to be sent out and swapped over.
-
What should I do if the goods delivered to me were damaged?
All our deliveries are fully insured. It is the customers’ responsibility to inspect the goods once they arrive and report any damages within 48 hours of receipt of goods. We suggest that customers take pictures of the damaged goods for the insurance claim. A replacement will be sent out as soon as possible after investigation. Moss Furniture will bear the delivery cost for replacements only if the claim is lodged within 48 hours receipt of goods. Any claims after 48 hours, the buyer must pay for replacement's delivery cost.
RETURNS, EXCHANGES & WARRANTY
-
How do I obtain a refund?
For all refund inquiries, please send us an email including your name, order number, reason for refund and any supporting imagery/details. We accept refunds for 'change of mind' and 'damaged goods' however conditions apply. See our T&C's and information in FAQs below for further details.
-
What is the refund policy for 'change of mind'?
Moss Furniture understands that sometimes we can make the wrong choices. This is why we provide a 14 day money back guarantee if you are unhappy with a particular product. For any change of minds, we will entitle you to a refund provided that, we are informed within 14 days of delivery. Please note, all return costs will be at the buyers' expense. Therefore, the refund will exclude the total delivery and collection costs. All items must be returned in the original wrappings and not assembled, or part assembled in any way. This will help avoid the 20% restocking fee that applies if goods are not returned in their original condition. Upon receipt of returned goods, we will then inspect and, if everything is in perfect condition, the refund will be processed within 7 working days.
-
What is the refund policy for 'change of mind of custom goods'?
Whilst Moss Furniture does provide custom services to accommodate some trade customers, we do not offer refunds for those custom items if it was due to change of mind. Therefore, it is crucial that the buyer ensures all custom ordered items are what they're after.
-
What is the refund policy for 'damaged goods'?
It is important that the buyer inspects all goods within 48 hours of receipt of goods. Damages must be reported with 48 hours of receipt of goods and customers must adhere to the claims process, including proof of damages and arrangement of goods to be returned for inspection. Faulty claims outside of the 48-hour reporting period will be treated as a warranty claim and, the customer will bear the delivery costs incurred in the claim process. It is also required that all items are returned in their original wrappings and not assembled or part assembled in any way. Otherwise, a 20% restocking fee will apply if goods are not returned in their original condition. We will not refund or replace a product where in our reasonable opinion the product has following the sale to you, become of unacceptable quality due to fair wear and tear, misuse, failure to use in accordance with manufacturer's instructions, using it in an abnormal way or failure to take reasonable care. Upon arrival of your boxes, please note any damage to the boxes as well as any damage to the items themselves. If you feel that the damage to an item or a box is too severe, please refuse the package(s). There is no need to refuse all packages if others are in good condition.
-
What are the warranty T&C's?
Moss Furniture warrants all goods from manufacturing defects that is, material and workmanship for a 12-month period. This period will start from date of goods received. Whilst we offer a warranty on all our products, it does not cover normal wear and tear, commercial use, damage arising from abnormal use, improperly maintained or modified goods. Any claims for damage after 48 hours from receipt will be treated as warranty claims and delivery/pickup charges will apply. Products will be repaired or replaced, depending on product circumstances and it is solely at the discretion of Moss Furniture.
MY ORDER
-
Can I make changes to my contact details after confirming the order?
Yes! Please send us an email with the changes and where possible, we’ll make a note on your order and with our delivery partners.
-
What does pre-order mean?
If an item becomes out of stock, a pre-order option may be available. If you see a product that is on ‘pre-order’, this means it is not currently in stock, but a new order is being placed with the supplier. Items may sell out fast once they arrive so it’s best to purchase items on pre-order to ensure you’re not disappointed! Each pre-order item will have an approximate ETA noted for your reference. ETA dates will remain current on our website and pre-order customers will receive updates via email. Once your item/s are ready, our delivery partners will be in touch to arrange your delivery.
-
How do I cancel a pre-order?
Please send us an email with your contact details and order number and we’ll cancel your order in the system. If the item has not been dispatched, we will refund you the full amount, including your delivery fee. If the item has already been picked or dispatched, the associated fees unfortunately cannot be refunded.
