Accounts & Portal Access

Urbia is a wholesaler and sells only to resellers, including retailers and members of the interior design trade. Please apply for an account to be considered.

If you are not a member of the trade, you can purchase Urbia products through a retail partner.

Retailers

Retailers with a verifiable brick-and-mortar location and a valid Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) are eligible for Urbia's Wholesale base price level, with no minimum order requirements.

Retailers who stock inventory with an opening order of $6,000 are eligible for our Stocking price level. Once your opening order has shipped, your account is active and there is no reorder minimum. To maintain the preferred Stocking price level, active accounts must order at least $25,000 per calendar year.

Designers

There are no minimum order requirements for members of the trade, including but not limited to designers, interior decorators, and architecture firms.

With the exception of custom, made-to-order merchandise, you may cancel an order before it has shipped. Any deposits will be applied to your account as a credit memo for use on future orders. Any other refund is at the discretion of Urbia management.

Urbia accepts all major credit cards, checks, ACH payments, and wire transfers. We do not accept third-party credit cards or credit cards belonging to your customer.

Subject to inventory availability, orders paid by credit card ship immediately. Orders paid by check, ACH, or wire transfer ship once the funds have cleared.

Except for customers with payment terms, payment in full, including shipping and convenience fees, is due before an order ships.

Credit cards are not charged when an order is placed. They are charged when the order is being processed for shipment. Urbia charges a 3.5% credit card convenience fee per transaction.

See Urbia's accepted forms of payment, Credit Card Authorization, and Credit Application below.

Shipping & Delivery

All domestically stocked products ship from our Philadelphia, PA warehouse. All made-to-order upholstery ships from our Los Angeles, CA workroom.

At your request, Urbia can arrange shipping to a commercial receiving dock within the continental United States. Our minimum packaging and freight charge is $350 or 18% of the order value, whichever is greater. Oversized items are subject to a shipping surcharge, as outlined below.

Shipments to commercial locations typically take 7-14 business days from pickup. Please let us know if you need expedited shipping or delivery to a non-commercial receiving dock so we can quote the additional charges.

Shipping rates are subject to change and will be confirmed when you place your order. Your order may arrive in several shipments; this will not affect your shipping costs. At this time, Urbia does not arrange white-glove residential delivery.

Expedited service: Quoted at the time of request.

Liftgate fee: $150 per shipment.

Oversized item fee: $100 per order when one or more oversized items are included in the shipment.

Oversized items include, but are not limited to:

  • Rectangular tables with an overall length greater than 88 inches.
  • Round and square tables with an overall length greater than 58 inches.
  • Upholstery with an overall length greater than 73 inches.

Select items are eligible for small-parcel shipping through FedEx or UPS. To use your own carrier account, provide your account number so we can generate shipping labels and bill shipping to your account with no additional fee.

If you do not have a FedEx or UPS account, we can provide a small-parcel spot quote with either carrier for eligible shipments.

You may arrange for a third-party carrier to pick up your order at our warehouse at no additional charge.

Your carrier's driver is responsible for inspecting the products and noting any damage or concerns before loading the shipment onto the truck. Urbia is not responsible for damage caused by your carrier.

When your order ships, we send the shipping contacts in our system an automated message with carrier details and the tracking reference number. For additional assistance, contact your account manager or our Helpdesk.

Urbia is not liable for shipping delays for any cause. A delay does not entitle you to cancel an order after it has shipped or to refuse delivery. Depending on product availability, delivery may occur in multiple shipments.

Contact your account manager to arrange shipments to Canada.

Urbia can ship containers to any international destination. However, orders originating from Philadelphia, PA and Los Angeles, CA can only ship to a commercial receiver within the continental United States. You are responsible for coordinating the additional freight from that receiver to the final destination.

All returns must be properly packaged in their original packaging and ready for pickup within ten (10) business days of the initial claim. All returns, including those related to damage or defects, require prior approval from Urbia. Freight costs associated with unapproved returns are nonrefundable.

Urbia offers a fully custom upholstery line called Toccare. Choose from our standard configurations or design your own. For non-upholstered custom pieces, contact your account manager.

Customer Limited Warranty: Casegoods

Urbia Imports, LLC warrants its casegoods products for one (1) year from the date of invoice. This limited warranty applies exclusively to the original purchaser under conditions of normal use and terminates in the event of resale.

Wood and metal products

Wood and metal products are warranted to be free of defects in materials and workmanship under ordinary use. Certain changes in these materials over time are expected, are not considered defects, and are not covered by this limited warranty. Exceptions include:

  • Naturally occurring variations in grain character and color.
  • Hairline cracks that may develop over time in highly figured veneers. These veneers come from areas of a tree that grow in different directions, creating tension in the wood fibers. This natural characteristic is not considered a defect.
  • Color or surface changes caused by natural color changes, variations, or movement in lumber or veneer products, or by exposure to extreme temperature changes and/or direct sunlight.

Marble, concrete, and stone tops

Marble, concrete, and stone tops are warranted to be free of defects in materials and workmanship under ordinary use. Because these materials are absorbent, Urbia Imports, LLC does not warrant against stains resulting from spills.

Glass and mirrors

Glass and mirrors are warranted against defects in materials and workmanship under ordinary use. Chips or scratches caused by handling after delivery are not the responsibility of Urbia Imports, LLC.

Fabrics, leathers, and upholstery materials

Certain casegoods products include fabrics, leathers, cushions, and other filling materials. Urbia Imports, LLC warrants these components to be free of defects in materials and workmanship. The following are exceptions and are not considered defects:

  • Wrinkles, scratches, insect bites, healed scars, other natural markings, or color variations that occur in certain leathers.
  • Color or surface changes caused by exposure to extreme temperature changes and/or direct sunlight.
  • Wrinkling, puckering, and shade variations resulting from fabrics being washed to achieve a more relaxed appearance and softer feel.

Warranty conditions

The following conditions apply except where prohibited by law:

This warranty is valid for the original purchaser from the date of invoice and covers defects in materials and workmanship under ordinary use for the period specified.

The warranty applies under conditions of normal residential use. It does not cover damage resulting from negligence or misuse, including improper cleaning, exposure to chemicals and foreign substances, liquids, accidents, or use for which the product was not intended.

Any product modifications by a dealer or consumer, or the use of non-Urbia Imports, LLC parts, void the warranty. Alterations of any type by the consumer nullify the warranty entirely.

Transportation and delivery damage is excluded.

Under this limited warranty, Urbia Imports, LLC may repair or replace defective items that do not perform as expected under normal conditions. The determination of liability is solely the responsibility of Urbia Imports, LLC.

Warranty claims must first be presented to the authorized dealer from whom the original purchase was made. Dated proof of purchase and delivery from the original authorized dealer is required.
