the fine print, in large print.

Our written promises, in plain words. They apply to every order.

Last updated October 26, 2026

late credit

If your laundry isn't back inside the window we confirmed, $10 comes off that order automatically. You don't have to ask.

The one exception: we couldn't get in after calling and emailing you.

lost items

Tell us within 48 hours of delivery. We search with the laundromat for 48 hours.

If the item isn't found, we reimburse up to $50 per item and $250 per order, based on a receipt or a fair replacement value.

damage

Damage from washing or drying gets the same limits: up to $50 per item and $250 per order.

Items labeled dry-⁠clean only that weren't flagged aren't covered. If it's precious, keep it out of the bag.

the weigh-in

Every bag is weighed at the laundromat, and we email you a photo of the scale with your total. Under your auto-⁠go limit, washing starts. Over it, we wait for your reply.

Say no and the bag comes back unwashed, at no charge. If the number looks off, tell us before you pay: we re-⁠weigh, send a second photo, and you pay the lower of the two.

cancelling

Cancel free any time before the courier heads out, by replying to your confirmation email.

paying

No card is needed to request a pickup. After your laundry is back, we email a payment link. It opens our payment processor’s secure page, so your card details never touch our website.

Laundry service isn't subject to New York sales tax, so the total in your weigh-⁠in email is the total.

buzzers and access

Put buzzer codes or gate instructions in your notes. The courier calls only if the buzzer fails, and only if you gave us a number. No texts.

If we can't get into your building at delivery, we email you, call if you gave us a number, and try again in the next window.

same time next week

A standing weekly window is $1.99 a pound. No contract, no monthly charge, no prepayment. Skip a week or stop by replying to any email.

price changes

The price you see when you request a pickup is the price for that pickup. Prices on this site are honored for requests made while they are shown.

not included

Dry cleaning, pressing or ironing, alterations, and promises about stains. Same-⁠day rush, Sunday windows (for now), and pickups outside live ZIPs.

What can go in the bag is in the questions. Anything else: hello@blocklaundry.com.
