Although we do our best to prevent any damages to your garment, we cannot guarantee against color loss, bleeding or shrinkage of garments.

We hope to provide a convenient service to all our customers and can leave orders outside residences or with a doorman, provided the customer gives written consent or calls the provider. However, once delivery has been made, we will not be held responsible or liable for the loss or damage of any items. It is the customer’s sole responsibility to ensure the safety of items after delivery by Vizo. We strongly encourage you assign someone to retrieve your clothes from the Third Party Provider if you are unable to attend the delivery.
You have an option to ask us to leave your laundry with the doorman or other location, but Vizo will not be responsible for any loss caused as a result of that.
