What is California Proposition 65, and how does it apply to the items you sell?
All of our dinnerware, glassware and other items used for serving food are tested to ensure that they meet FDA and California Proposition 65 requirements for lead and cadmium.

Like most fine porcelain dinnerware and crystal glasses, some of our Pickard dinnerware, Raynaud dinnerware, Riedel glassware and Waterford stemware are made using lead. In accordance with Proposition 65, we issue the following warning to our California customers: "Use of this product will expose you to lead and/or cadmium, chemicals known to the State of California to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm."

In accordance with Proposition 65, when a ceramic glaze meets FDA standards but fails to meet the standards of Proposition 65, we issue the following warning to our California customers: "The materials used as colored decorations on the exterior of this product contain lead, a chemical known to the State of California to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm." If the interior or pouring lip of a serving vessel is finished with a glaze that contains lead, we issue the following warning: "Use of this product will expose you to lead and/or cadmium, chemicals known to the State of California to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm."
How do I specify a three-initial monogram?
A number of items in our collection can be customized with monogramming or personalization. Styles and character limitations vary, as detailed in the item`s description. Traditional-style three-initial monograms feature a slightly taller middle initial. For an individual, list the initials in the following order: first name, last name, middle name. For a couple's monogram, list the initials in this order: wife's first name, couple's last name, husband's first name. For modern-style monograms, in which all the letters are the same size, list an individual`s initials in the following order: first name, middle name, last name.

We regret that monogrammed and personalized items cannot be gift wrapped or returned.

Furniture Services

Are fabric swatches available?
To assist with your furniture selections, we offer complimentary fabric and wood swatches online, in stores, and through the catalog. Please call Customer Service at 888.922.4108 8AM to 12AM ET (M-F), 9AM to 9PM ET (S, S) for additional questions or to request a swatch. You may also request swatches online from any product page. Simply find the product you like, and then click on the Request Swatch link under its swatch area on the product page.
Can I order upholstered furniture in a fabric from a previous season?
The availability of fabrics from previous seasons is limited. Please call 888.922.4108 8AM to 12AM ET (M-F), 9AM to 9PM ET (S, S) to confirm availability.
What is the estimated time for delivery for furniture? How will it be delivered and what services will be offered?
Please allow 2-4 weeks for non-upholstered furniture delivery (6-8 weeks for Hickory Chair items) and 45 days for custom upholstery orders (60 days during the holiday season). Most furniture is delivered using our In-Home White-Glove delivery service, which includes unpacking, inspection, placement and the removal of all packing materials.
How do I measure for furniture?
1. Measure Your Space
  1. Before choosing furniture, consider the space it will occupy. Start by measuring the perimeter of the room and sketching a simple floor plan to plot the placement of furniture. Be sure to indicate all windows, doors, heating vents and existing furniture.
  2. Also consider lighting. Where are the electrical outlets in the room? Will you read in this chair? Will a table lamp sit on this dresser? Is there a wall sconce?
2. Confirm the Furniture Dimensions
  1. We provide the dimensions of each piece of furniture available to you online and in our catalog. By comparing the length x width x height dimensions, you can begin to visualize how a piece of furniture will fit in the available space.
3. Measure for Delivery
  1. After determining the measurements of your furniture selection, you will also want to consider delivery of this item. It's essential that it can pass through all entryways, elevators and stairways.
  2. Start by measuring the height and width of your entryways and elevator doors. If an item cannot fit straight through an entryway, consider the depth measurement to see if it would fit when angled or tilted.
  3. You will also want to ensure there is an unobstructed path inside your home. Consider the size of doorways from room to room as well as railings, banisters, ceiling fans, decorative moldings and interior walls that may pose an obstacle once inside the room.
4. Assistance
  1. If you need any assistance regarding furniture measurements or have additional questions about furniture items, please call Customer Service at 1-888-922-4108 8AM to 12AM ET (M-F), 9AM to 9PM ET (S, S).

Security

Is the credit card information I submit secure?
Absolutely. Every step of the Williams Sonoma online ordering process that requests credit card information employs Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption. SSL renders information unreadable if anyone should attempt to intercept it.
What is the credit card verification number?
This number printed on your card provides a safeguard when a purchase is made using your credit card.

For American Express, it is the four digits printed above the account number on the front of the card.
Will Williams Sonoma sell or rent my email address information to other companies?

These are known as our Select Partners. In such cases we might share information, including personally identifiable information about you, that will enable such persons or entities to contact you regarding products and services that may be of interest to you.

Do gift-givers need a password to access a gift registry online?
To ensure their privacy, some registrants require their family and friends to use a gift-giver password. If you select this option, you must advise your guests of the password. Regardless of which online guest-access option is selected, complete registry information is accessible in any Williams Sonoma store.
How does Williams Sonoma protect a registrant`s privacy online?

eGift Cards

How do the eGift Cards work?
Williams Sonoma eGift Cards can be purchased through williams-sonoma.com by clicking on the eGift Card option. This will take you to our partner site-CashStar. To order the Williams Sonoma eGift Card, just choose the denomination and the card design or upload your own photo. Then enter the recipient's email address. Once the purchase has been completed, the eGift Card will be sent to the recipient within hours of purchase or on the date you choose. If lost, simply reprint the eGift Card. If stolen, contact CashStar Customer Support at 866.834.1462. Since this is a partner site, you will not be able to buy the eGift Card and other merchandise in the same transaction.

The eGift Card can be redeemed online or in our retail stores. Just like our plastic Gift Cards, there are no expiration dates or fees. eGift Cards are available in any dollar amount between $25 and $250.
How are eGift Cards different from plastic Gift Cards?
Plastic Gift Cards are sent to recipients via mail. eGift Cards are sent via e-mail and can be printed out and used hours after they're purchased. Both plastic and eGift Cards have no fees or expiration dates. They are both redeemable in stores and online.
How do I cancel the purchase of an eGift Card?
If you chose a delivery date that is in the future, you can cancel your purchase by contacting CashStar Customer Support at 866.834.1462. If the delivery date is today or in the past, your purchase cannot be cancelled.
Which credit cards do you accept?
We can accept VISA, Mastercard, American Express and Discover. The Williams Sonoma Credit Card cannot be accepted as payment for an eGift Card purchase because this site is operated Williams Sonoma's third party partner, Cash Star.
I want a printed eGift Card to present to someone as a gift. How can I accomplish this?
Simply personalize the eGift Card for your recipient, have it sent to yourself, and then print it. To do this, enter your own email address in the "Recipient Email" field, and check the box next to "This is for me." Enter your recipient's name and your own personal message on the Gift Card preview, and complete the transaction normally. You will receive an eGift Card alert via email. Follow the instructions in the message to retrieve your eGift Card, and then click "Print this page." The resulting printout may be presented as a gift to the recipient, and may be redeemed online or in our retail stores.
Can I purchase an eGift Card with other Williams Sonoma merchandise in the same transaction?
No. The purchase of an eGift Card is operated by Williams Sonoma's third party partner, Cash Star. To buy Williams Sonoma merchandise, you will need to go to williams sonoma.com and make the merchandise purchase in a separate transaction.
What exactly does the recipient receive when I send an eGift Card?
On the delivery date you choose, a message is sent to the recipient informing them of your gift, with a link to retrieve it online. The link in the email goes to a page showing the eGift Card you created (the design you selected, with your recipient's name and your personalized message), its value and code number. The page also gives simple instructions for redeeming the the eGift Card.
How do I know the recipient actually received the eGift Card I sent them?
You will receive an email confirming delivery and a message notifying you that the eGift Card has been viewed. If the eGift Card is not viewed within 15 days after delivery, you will receive a message with options for resolving the issue. You may also contact Cash Star Customer Support at 866.834.1462 with the order number from the email you received confirming your purchase, and we can tell you if the recipient viewed their eGift Card.
When does the eGift Card expire?
Like our plastic gift cards, there is no expiration date on your eGift Card. We recommend that you redeem it soon after you receive it, so you don't forget.
How do I check my eGift Card balance?
To check your eGift Card balance, go to williams-sonoma.com and click on Gift Cards or click here.
Can I return the eGift Card?
You may not return or cancel your Williams Sonoma eGift Card after it is received. Purchasers who wish to cancel an eGift Card purchase order prior to its delivery to a recipient should contact Cash Star Customer Support at 866.834.1462 prior to the delivery date selected during the purchase process.

If you return merchandise originally purchased with an eGift Card, any refund will be issued in the form of a merchandise credit that may be used online or at any Williams Sonoma store.
Is my order secure?
All personal and financial information is transmitted using the https protocol over a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), utilizing state-of-the-art technology for consumer protection. Behind the scenes, your Web browser is sending all personal and financial information over SSL. The eGift Card purchase process is fully PCI compliant. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact CashStar Customer Support at 866.834.1462.
What if I lose my eGift Card?
Your eGift Card has cash value and should be safeguarded as such. If you misplaced your eGift Card, you can reprint it if you bookmarked it in your browser or click on the link in the original email. If your eGift Card was lost or stolen, contact Cash Star immediately at 866.834.1462.
