| Shipping
Times: |
|
We ship
by UPS, if possible, or by Truck for large items. Different products
ship from different warehouses in the U.S. and shipping times will
vary depending on the items ordered. We always try to ship your
complete order from the same location but sometimes this is not
possible and you may receive some items before others. Shipping
times vary depending on the carrier.
Stock orders generally ship 2 - 5 working days after we receive
the order.
|
- UPS
You should receive UPS shipped orders 5 - 10 working
days after the order has shipped.
- Truck
Orders shipped by truck generally take 7 - 14 days
until delivery. When your order reaches the dock in your city,
the freight company will call you to arrange delivery. You must
have someone home to accept the order. Please review the "accepting
truck orders" section below.
- Rush orders
We are only able to "Rush" UPS-able,
non-custom orders. You will be charged a $10.00 service fee and
all shipping charges on rush shipments. Remember to add 24 hours
for order processing in addition to your rush shipping time (
if you Next Day Air ship your order, the items will ship within
24 hours and arrive on the following business day - two business
days total. )
- Custom orders
A custom item is any item in which you choose options for. This
includes items in which you choose the fabric, frame color, stain,
finish, color, logo, team or wood. When you place your order with
any custom options, we will call you to verify your option selection
and let you know an estimate shipping time. Custom orders generally
ship within 4 to 6 weeks

| How to receive
a shipment: |
| Please review the following
guidelines on receiving your order. |
- UPS shipments
1. Most UPS items are delivered in good condition,
all you have to do is sign the paperwork and accept the package.
2. If any merchandise is received in damaged condition, accept
the carton and report it to us at 1 888 814 7531. DO
NOT REFUSE THE CARTON. UPS has a 15 day cutoff, beginning
from day of delivery, for reporting damages. After the 15 days
are up, no claim can be filed. We will file the claim, if possible,
or assist you in doing so.
3. Keep the breakage in the original carton with all packing materials
and inner carton included, if any. If other items are packed with
damaged merchandise, remove all other items and hold the carton
for pickup by UPS. If return is not in original carton,
including inner carton and packaging materials ( bubble wrap,
paper etc.), inspection by UPS will be denied along with all
claims.
4. We will order you a replacement or replacement parts for the
damaged items.
- Truck shipments
1. When your order reaches the dock in your city, the freight
line will call you to arrange delivery
2. You must have someone home to accept delivery and assist the
driver in unloading the truck. Most large, truck shipped items
come with curbside delivery and they can be heavy and cumbersome.
Please have enough manpower on hand to safely off-load your items.
We will send a truck with a lift gate if possible. The driver
is not required to assist you in unloading your merchandise, fortunately
most drivers are helpful.
3 . 10% Shipping charge is limited to curb side
delivery only. You are responsible for any other options the
delivery company
gives you. The 10% shipping offer is not available on all products.
4. Check the number of cartons against the number specified on
the bill of lading. Note if there are any
missing cartons
5. Any carton that appears to be damaged in any way should be
opened and inspected. If you suspect any damage, open the
carton in front of the driver.
6. If any carton appears to have been opened and resealed, it
must be noted on the freight bill as possible shortage. Note any
damage or shortage on the delivery sheet and the driver must sign
the receipt with the notations before you sign it.
7. Open and inspect all cartons immediately after you receive
your order.
If there is any hidden damage, save all cartons and packaging
materials from the damaged item. All items must be inspected
Immediately (i.e.. do not store the cartons in the garage for three
weeks, open them, find damage and then advise us there is hidden
damage) We will not be able to file a freight claim and your items will
not be covered under our policies or warranty if we are not advised
of any problems at the time you receive your order.
8. DO NOT REFUSE THE SHIPMENT!! this will only delay the re-order
and freight claim by weeks and you will be responsible for any
storage and/or delivery charges incurred by the refusal.
9. KEEP THE DAMAGED ITEMS! Once the freight
claim is filed the carrier may request an inspection of the damaged
items. After the claim is settled, the carrier may choose to
pick
up the damaged merchandise. We will inform you if the items are
to be picked up or sent back to us. DO NOT DISPOSE OF THE ITEMS
unless we advise you to do so. If the merchandise is not available
for pick up, you will be charged for all damaged items in addition
to the replacement items.
10. Contact us at 1 888 814 7531 if there
are any damages or shortages. A freight claim will need to be
filed.
- All cartons were received by the carrier in
excellent condition and were packed with great care by experienced
packers using standard approved methods. Therefore, the carrier
is responsible for lost or damaged merchandise.
