Product Variances
Variations in Natural Materials
Natural materials such as rattan, wood and plant fibres will have inherent variances in colour or grain pattern caused by nature. These differences are a natural characteristic of the materials and may not be perfectly captured in online images or images supplemented by our customer service for pre-sale enquiries.
Variations in Finishes
All natural materials have a variation in how they accept the finishing process.
Small indentations in the finishes may occur and are not classed as defects, as in most cases these occur due to the finishes covering natural air pockets in the material.
Finishes on the bottom or interior facing surfaces will be finished as deemed fit such as with sealant or lacquer and will not be polished or finished similarly to the top surfaces unless specified.
Variations in Measurements
Measurements will be true to ±2 cm. For custom-made items, Nature Native reserves the right to adjust the dimensions, and will advise you accordingly, as we deem fit for use and stability.
Variations from Online Images
The images displayed on our website are intended to provide a general representation of the products. Due to variations in lighting, screen settings, and photography techniques, the colour and appearance of the product may differ slightly from what is shown online.
By making a purchase, you acknowledge and accept that the aforementioned variances do not constitute a defect and are not grounds for returns or exchanges.
Pre-Order / Made to Order Policy
Lead times for pre-order or made to order pieces pieces are dependent on our incoming container shipment dates.
While we do our best to ensure the timely fulfilment of your orders accordingly, external factors beyond our control may lead to delays. The lead times are thus not guaranteed.
Items specially customised to your specifications (Made to Order) may not be cancelled due to delayed fulfilment. We apologise that we are not able to accept any cancellations once the production is in progress.
Please keep us informed within 3 working days from date of purchase if you wish to make any changes to your custom-made pieces. Kindly be advised that customised items are not eligible for our 14-day returns and exchanges.
Final Sale: As-Is & Sample Items
Items marked as "As-Is," sample pieces, and floor models designated as Final Sale may contain inherent cosmetic defects, as reflected by the discounts offered by Nature Native. These items may not be returned or exchanged upon fulfilment, as indicated on the product page.
By agreeing to purchase and/or making payment, you acknowledge that you are aware of the above and release Nature Native from liability for any defects discovered on/after delivery. Any exchanges or store credit refunds for Final Sale items are at the discretion of Nature Native.

DELIVERY
Delivery Service Delays
While we make every effort to deliver your items within the estimated timeframe as arranged, delivery times may vary due to unforeseen circumstances such as traffic delays, weather conditions, or other factors beyond our control.
We seek your kind understanding in these instances and we will do our best to keep you informed of any service delays as soon as we receive further information from our engaged delivery service.
Incorrect Delivery Address & Contact Information
It is your responsibility to ensure that accurate information is provided at the time of purchase. We will use this information to communicate regarding your delivery. If you have to change your delivery address, please contact us before any delivery arrangements are made.
Should your order be erroneously accepted on your behalf by an unknown party due to your provision of an incorrect delivery address, no refund will be made by Nature Native for the lost order. The responsibility is also transferred to you to trace back the items should you wish to do so.
Please always double check the delivery details reflected in your e-receipt / order confirmation. Once our delivery service is out for delivery, additional charges will apply for change of addresses / redelivery to the correct address.
Missed Delivery
Please ensure that you or an appointed recipient are present within the agreed delivery timeframe to receive the items into your premises, especially for orders containing furniture and fragile items.
If no one is available to receive the delivery within the timeframe arranged, the delivery may be rescheduled and additional charges will apply.
Should you have special delivery instructions or requirements, please indicate in your order notes at the time of purchase, or when we get in touch on delivery arrangements. While we will do our best to accommodate your requests, we cannot guarantee fulfilment of all special instructions.
Lack of Access & Safety
Inaccessible or unsafe delivery locations may result in delays and additional charges will apply for delivery cancellations.
Refusal of Entry by Building Management
It is your responsibility to place any deposit to the building management for moving goods into the premises should there be such a requirement. Some apartment complexes may have delivery timing restrictions imposed, please let us know when we get in touch on deliveries to avoid failed deliveries.
Nature Native reserves the right to reschedule the delivery and additional charges will apply.
Inaccessible Entryways
Please ensure the smooth transport of your purchases by checking measurements of furniture pieces against that of access areas or availability of alternative access such as cargo lifts.
Nature Native reserves the right to cancel the delivery should areas be deemed inaccessible by our delivery service. For such cancellations, a 20% restocking fee will apply.
Staircarry
Please be advised that our deliveries do not include staircarry and additional charges will apply if required. Kindly let us know when delivery arrangements are made so that we can ensure that manpower is catered for.
Additional fees at S$10 per manpower for each flight not accessible by elevator will be charged on every item carried. This charge is also applicable to stairs within landed properties or HDB maisonette, and will be collected by our delivery service on-site.
i.e. If you require 2 helpers to carry one armchair up one flight of stairs, the staircarry charges will be $20. In instances where there are two flights of stairs to get to the next level/storey, the charge will be $40.
If the request is made on-site due to inaccessible elevators, more time may be required for additional manpower to arrive and may result in delays. Additional charges will apply for rescheduling.
Should you opt to handle any staircarry on your own, you acknowledge that Nature Native and our engaged delivery service will not be liable for any damages discovered thereafter.
