We know that once you have placed an order with us, you want to receive it as quickly as possible, so we use the most reliable delivery companies in North America.

Depending on what you order and where you live, delivery to your home may entail using two different types of shipping carriers to ensure your order arrives safely. You will be called by the local shipping company to schedule a convenient time and date for delivery.

Unless otherwise specified, most shipments are shipped to arrive for a curbside delivery. The local delivery driver will not be prepared to take your furniture into your home. For smaller orders, we may opt to ship using UPS, FedEx or an alternative service.

When shipping your order, we will use one of three different shipping methods: Small Parcel Ground, Ground Freight or Furniture Carrier.

As most items are shipped to you directly from the manufacturer, different items you purchase may be shipped from different original locations. Your items may arrive on different days and with different shipping methods if you purchase items from multiple brands or if you place more than one order at once.

SPECIAL NOTE: All items are priced to include Free Shipping within the continental US. (48 contiguous States) except certain areas which are considered remote or isolated for delivery by Furniture Carriers and additional fees may be charged.

Is Free Shipping Really Free?

We want to offer you the lowest price possible. The price listed on the product information screen of the item you ordered is the price you will pay. Shipping is free to you unless otherwise stated and in certain zip codes which are considered remote or isolated for delivery by Furniture Carriers and additional fees may be charged. .

SHIPPING/DELIVERY METHODS

Small Parcel Ground Shipping:
Smaller products will be shipped with regular ground shipping (generally FedEx, UPS or DHL). The average transit time is between 2-7 business days (not including pre-ship time) for any destination in the contiguous United States. Delivery times will depend on the local delivery schedule of the carrier, and it may not be possible to make an appointment.

Generally, ground delivery is available Monday to Saturday 9am to 8pm. A signature is not typically required: if the customer is not at home to accept delivery, the product will be left if it is safe to do so. If a signature is required the product will not be left at the address. Please note that deliveries cannot be made to a PO Box and that if you purchase multiple Ground Shipping items, they may be shipped via Ground Freight instead at the discretion of the manufacturer.

Delivery to a Business Address
For ground shipments (FedEx, UPS or DHL), delivery to a business address will be carried out during normal business hours Monday to Friday only. A signature will be requested on delivery. The carrier is not required to match the signature to the name on the package.

Furniture Carrier Delivery:
Many of our items are too large and heavy to ship with a ground carrier or common carrier. Because of this, we ship many items on a specialized Furniture Carrier to ensure your order is handled with the utmost care.

Furniture Carrier delivery will arrive via a large truck from contracted freight carriers. Furniture Carrier delivery is standard when the size and/or weight of the product is too large to ship using small-package carriers.

These deliveries require a recipient to be present during delivery and are made during normal business hours Monday through Friday between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. The delivery agent will call in advance to schedule a delivery appointment, generally within a 4-hour window.

Furniture Carrier deliveries are ground-level deliveries made outside the main home curbside. Please note the street of access must be at least 10 feet wide with an overhead clearance of at least 14 feet. If the street is smaller than this, additional handling charges may apply. The delivery truck will park in front of your home but the driver is not authorized to bring your item into your home with standard free shipping. You are responsible for signing the delivery receipt and receiving the product from the truck. A large item may need more than one person to unload. Transporting the item into the home or other area is the customer's responsibility. Delivery agents are not equipped to dispose of packaging materials with standard free shipping.

Once your item is shipped we will email tracking to you that will allow you to track your order online. Your order will be shipped to a local delivery company in your area and the local agent will call you to schedule a time to deliver to your home.

When Will My Order Arrive?

Each product on our websites has a pre-ship processing time, which is the number of business days it will take for your order to be processed, inspected and prepared for shipment from our warehouse. Actual delivery of your order will then take additional amount of time to arrive depending on how your package is being shipped. If a product is out of stock or put on backorder, you'll be notified of this information as quickly as we get it.

If you live in a rural area, the carrier may not have a daily route to your location and delivery may take up to an additional 15 business days.

For small parcel shipments : Depending on where you live in relation to the shipping warehouse, after the product leaves the warehouse or distribution center, you should receive your item between 2-7 business days.

For furniture carrier or truck freight: After your order has been shipped, the item should be delivered in approximately 1-3 weeks. If the item is being delivered to a residential address, an appointment for a delivery time will be made upon the arrival of your order at the local terminal. For deliveries to a commercial address, no appointment will be made. However, if you anticipate that there will be no one to accept the delivery on delivery day; you can call us to arrange an appointment.

Your order may be transferred to another truck or shipping company in route in order to facilitate delivery to your address and may seem to cause a short delay. These transfers when done are necessary with furniture freight shipments so that the proper trucks, handling and delivery service is used to ensure the safe arrival of your order. You can easily follow the progress of your order using the tracking number we provide to you once your order is picked up by the freight company.
Even though your order is handled as carefully as possible throughout transit, we still require that each order is inspected at the delivery agent before it is delivered to your door. You will be contacted by a delivery clerk to arrange a delivery time. Allow for up to a 4-hour block of time, Monday through Friday regular business hours; Saturday deliveries are made by special arrangement and are not always possible.

PLEASE NOTE: Delivery does not include removal of old furniture.
