Pricing & Sales tax

All prices are shown in USD and include customs duties and import taxes to the USA. You will not be charged any additional fees for import upon delivery.

Essem Design does not currently collect U.S. sales tax, as our sales volume remains below the threshold for economic nexus in each state. As a result, your purchase may not include sales tax at checkout. Depending on your state’s laws, you may be required to self-report and pay use tax on your purchase to your state’s tax authority. If this changes in the future and we are required to collect sales tax in your state, the amount will be clearly shown at checkout before completing your purchase.

All orders to the United States are shipped free of charge with UPS from Sweden.

Most products displayed in our webshop are held in stock for immediate delivery. The normal delivery time for these products are 6–9 business days. Estimated delivery times are given for each product. Around Christmas/New Year and in the summer, delivery times may be slightly longer than stated due to our suppliers holidays.

Damage in transit

If you notice that the packaging is broken, ask the postman or forwarder to write this on your receipt. Then take photos of the damage, both to the outer packaging and to the damaged product. You can then contact us using our return and claim form and attach the signed receipt and the pictures. It is important to do this within 2 days. We will replace the damaged product and send a new one.

Warranties

Warranties for our products are valid for 10 years for manufacturing faults, subject to normal use. All warranties apply in the countries we sell to. If you wish to claim on the warranty, you must contact us. The appearance of the goods may vary according to the material and production.

We comply with the rules laid down in Swedish law.

Please contact us before buying for further information about your item.

Claims

All claims, damaged or faulty goods must be reported to us as soon as possible after delivery, particularly if you suspect damage in transit (see ‘Damage in transit’ under delivery terms). Take pictures of the damage which you can send to us with your claim, including the order number and your contact details. The easiest way to do this is with the Return/claim form.

Variations in natural materials

All natural materials such as cast aluminium, wood etc. may display natural variations. For example, there may be differences between cast parts, and wood can vary according to the position of the grain. This will not necessarily justify a claim, because it is a natural part of the material.

Where a claim is approved, we will bear all costs associated with the claim, including all forwarding costs.

Right of withdrawal and return

At Essem Design we naturally want you to be happy with your product. When you shop with us, you have a 14-day cooling-off period in accordance with the Swedish Distance and Doorstep Sales Act. This means that consumers have the right to cancel their purchase within 14 days of receiving the goods. After you have notified us of your return on our Return/claim form, and we have approved it, you can use the return label that we send to you by mail and you then have 14 days to send the goods back. Please note that you should never return a product without contacting us first.

Of course you can pick up and look at the product, but it must be sent back in its original condition and packaging.

If you return goods we take 30 USD in return deductions.

Exceptions from the right of withdrawal

And, it doesn't applies to items from the Essem Archive. You will see information about this on the products it concerns.
