We encourage you to feel comfortable using your credit card to conduct commerce on our site. If you wish, you may also send us a Money Order or a personal checks. Personal checks will delay your order as we must wait for your funds to clear before we ship any merchandise.
Most ordered are shipped out within 24 hours. Custom made orders take longer to process. Please contact us if you are unsure if your order is custom made. We can deliver same day or next day, locally, upon request. Many oversize items (too large for UPS or FedEx Ground) will be sent via delivery truck that will only get the item to the 'sidewalk'. By special prior written request, we will bring inside the house or business at additional cost. Some of our shippers use Semi-Trailers. Please let us know if the location is a remote or narrow street. Other arrangements will need to be made. Please let us know in advance if you require special help. All requests must be in writing. If you are paying by personal check please allow 5 extra days. To order by check, just print the order form with your shopping cart contents from the order confirmation page and complete the necessary fields, then mail the form to the address above.
Return / Refund Policy
All ordered can be returned within 30 days of receipt. There will be no charges to the customer if the item is damaged or defective.
Since our products are well represented on this site, and will arrive at your door as it is shown in the photos, we cannot offer a full refund on items that are returned due to style issues. There is a 25% restocking fee for all returned items in addition to freight charges back to us. Special Order items can not be returned. If your merchandise is damaged during shipping or is defective, we will immediately send you a replacement part. Special orders or Custom Cabinets can not be returned. Please inspect them carefully upon delivery and note any problems before you sign. If you are not sure if the order is Special or Custom please ask us before placing your order.
In many cases we are shipping the goods 1000 miles or more. In reality, returning goods of this size that distance would be logistically impossible and too costly to offer a full refund on non-damaged items, hence the 25% restocking fee plus return freight. No Internet furniture retailer can honestly offer a comprehensive return policy on non-damaged goods, yet many will claim to, then battle when it comes time to accept the return. As with everything else on our site, we have tried to be upfront and honest regarding our return policy. If you have any additional questions about it, please contact us.
It is recommended that you save the pallets, cartons, and packing material until after you set up the furniture and inspect for defect issues. Honesty, integrity, and quality are the values that we've built our business on.
Every item we sell is carefully inspected before it is shipped. If the item shows obvious damage to the box, please make a note when you sign the receipt.
