Local delivery is provided from the Ming’s downtown Issaquah location to you and delivered to your doorstep or the first available dry area outside of your house or building.

Delivery will be made to a customer’s front porch, front door, curbside, or garage, but the shipper will not enter the home or remove packaging.
Please make sure to measure doorways, stairways, and elevators prior to purchase to make sure that the item being purchased can be delivered into your home or residence. Upon pickup and delivery, Ming’s will not dismantle an item for reassembly. Items that are unable to be delivered for any reason will be returned to Ming’s Zen Gallery, and you will be responsible for all return shipping charges, including shipping insurance.
If you live outside our local delivery area, please contact our Concierge team at zenbymings@gmail.com or (425) 814-0178 for assistance finding a delivery solution.
Local delivery does not include unpacking, inspection, assembly, or installation. For apartment buildings, if the building approves and the size of the item permits, delivery can be made to the lobby. Please make sure you have correct measurements, and the item will fit the desired space in your home.
Ming’s Zen Gallery will be in contact with you prior to delivery to schedule an appropriate delivery time. Signature is required at delivery.

RETURN & EXCHANGE POLICY
MING’S ZEN GALLERY - RETURN POLICY
Most of our items are one-of-a-kind antiques/vintage pieces and as such all sales are final and ineligible for return or exchange. If an item is final sale, that information will be included in the "Details" section on the product page. Most antiques and pieces of fine jewelry are listed as final sale, so please refer to the product details for information on eligibility for return.
For items that are eligible for returns, buyers have two calendar days from the date of delivery (excluding weekends and U.S. federal holidays) to inspect the object and contact our Concierge team at zenbymings@gmail.com or (425) 814-0178 to request a Return Authorization.
When contacting us to initiate a return, please include:
• The reason for the return
• Your order number (find this in your order confirmation email)
• Your phone number
• If the item arrived damaged, photos of the damaged item and packaging. Send a close-up photo of the area(s) of concern, and photos of the item as a whole. Photos are required to file a claim for damaged property.
Once we review your return request, we will send you an email with further instructions.
Each returned item must be received in the condition it was in when shipped. Note that all returns will be inspected upon receipt for authenticity and condition. We reserve the right to decline any return or deduct from amounts refundable for any damage to property.
A refund of the purchase price paid, less any charges for which the buyer is responsible, will be processed upon confirmation that the item has been returned to Ming’s Zen Gallery. Refunded amounts will be credited to the payment method used to purchase the relevant item.
We are unable to honor a request for return that is received more than two calendar days (excluding weekends and U.S. federal holidays) after delivery.
Note that when returning an item, you will be solely responsible for any return shipping costs, including any taxes or custom duties. Please contact our Concierge team at zenbymings@gmail.com or (425) 814-0178 with any questions regarding the status of your return.
Inspecting an Object
Upon delivery of your order, request the shipping carrier's paperwork, and keep all packaging and shipping documents for your records. Note any condition issues, discrepancies, or damage. Take close-up photos and images of the entire item.
Item Issue or Shipping Damage
In the unlikely event that you receive a damaged item, contact our Concierge team at zenbymings@gmail.com or (425) 814-0178. We will work with you and the seller to reach a satisfactory solution.
