Please refuse any severally damaged items and contact us asap. If the damage is something that can be fixed, i.e. the door is broken, then please accept the delivery and we will send a replacement. Our damage rates are well below industry averages. They do not happen very often.

We appreciate your business and will respond to every email and every phone message.

Almost immediately after your order is placed an email will sent from Yahoo with your order number. We will then email you a confirmation. Please check your confirmation and contact us if there are any discrepancies. We will email you a tracking number when your items are ready to ship.

Please take the time to read the following:

Our goal is to provide helpful, friendly advice and service and to offer you affordable, quality furniture. Our growing list of manufacturers represents the best in quality, workmanship and value. We are always adding new products.

We are a Yahoo! hosted and maintained site. That means the best in online security and fraud protection. Rest assured there is no better online shopping experience that you can find. We accept Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover and Diners Club. We also accept phone orders and accept check or money orders. Please note we will not ship any product until the check has been cleared.

Today’s computer monitors are different and may show items in colors that are not actually as they are in person. We cannot guarantee and are not responsible for the wood colors and finishes that you see as opposed to what you receive. Unfinished items may be lighter or darker than show. For finished items, other than getting white when black was ordered or a similar issue, blues can be darker or lighter; greens can be more yellow and such. Since all our products are real, natural wood, we cannot guarantee wood variances like color, grain pattern or knots or filler holes. If you have not seen the item or color in person we suggest you buy it unfinished and finish it yourself.

Finished items are non-refundable and non-returnable.

Upon placing an order with us, Yahoo will email you a complete invoice and confirmation with your order number. We will then send you an email indicating whether or not the item(s) are in stock and how long it should take to ship out. We distribute from many warehouse facilities around the country. If your item is shipped directly from the manufacturer(s) we will let you know where it is shipping from and how long it will take.

If delivery time is an issue please email us and we can check stock status before you order and let you know how long to expect.

Free Shipping

Free Shipping includes the Lower 48 States + DC only. Alaska, Hawaii and Canada orders please e-mail us. We do not ship to APO addresses. Free Shipping includes FedEx Ground, UPS Ground Shipping and Direct Curbside motor freight delivery. We ship to residential and commercial locations. Most items ship via FedEx Ground or UPS Ground, they do not require a signature or inspection and will most often leave the package if no one is home. We will email you the tracking once the items ship.

We ship larger orders and items like armories and beds via direct curbside motor freight. Direct curbside motor freight deliveries will require customer assistance, inspection and a signature. You must inspect the piece before you sign the invoice. Please inspect the piece (not just the box) and note any damage to driver and on the bill of laden at time of delivery. If for any reason there is a problem, please contact us and we will arrange for replacement parts. We will provide you with tracking numbers once your piece ships. Refuse any severely damaged items. Some more out of the way locations are considered non-direct. Locations such as the Ozark Mountains, Key West or Yellowstone National Park are charged extra shipping fees. We will email you all extra charges for approval if your location is non-direct. Most addresses are direct.

Motor freight companies are not required to deliver inside. Inside delivery can be arranged for an additional fee. At this time, motor freight deliveries are curbside service, meaning you are responsible for physically unloading your order. It is recommended that you unwrap pallets on the truck.

We shall not accept as a return any product for which a damage claim against such carrier shall arise wherein such damage was not noted on the carriers delivery receipt at the time of delivery. Note the box condition and packaging condition on the bill of laden even if the delivery is good. Only sign the bill of laden after inspection and approval.

If you sign a bill of laden, it means you are receiving the order in 100% good condition. Please inspect the item not just the packaging.

We reserve the right to have a product considered damaged beyond repair and have the shipping company pick the product up or to have replacement parts sent. The replacement parts will be shipped at our expense by standard ground shipping. The customer acknowledges that freight can get damaged and that they agree to help by doing minor replacement work.

We are not liable for shipments not delivered on time. Once FedEx or the motor freight company has your order delivery time is out of our control.

All damage, wrong parts or issues must be reported to us within 7 days. Items get discontinued, factories can close. Please unbox and inspect all items upon arrival. It is very important to notify us within 7 days.

We reserve the right to cancel any order. Some items that ship via Motor Freight are too costly for us to offer free shipping. Some items are fragile and have an increased risk of damage. We base these decisions on the item, past history and your shipping distance from the factory.

Payment

We accept Visa, MasterCard, Discover and American Express. We also accept Checks and Money orders. Please email us for those orders. Cash is accepted in store.

No compensation, discount or likewise will be issued for long delivery time, wrong order sent, damage issue or such. We will work hard to get the problem fixed.
