Cabinet Shipping Policy

    In order for cabinet orders to go as smoothly as possible, please read the following cabinet order specifications and conditions.
    1. Sewing furniture ships via freight truck and not UPS or Fed Ex Ground. Because of this, someone needs to be at home to receive, inspect and sign for the product at delivery.
    2. Provide us with as many phone numbers as possible to ensure that the shipping company can contact you and make a delivery appointment.
    3. We will request that the freight truck will include lift gate and pallet jack service. Lift Gate will unload the product off of the end of the truck. Pallet jack service will roll the pallet of furniture up to your garage or porch as long as it is a somewhat flat surface from the road to the house. This ends the driver’s responsibility. The driver is not obligated to remove the cabinets from the boxes or to get the furniture inside the house.
    4. When you sign the delivery receipt from the freight companies driver it is a legal contract that states that you received the product in acceptable condition. Always inspect your shipment thoroughly before signing for it. If you notice slight damage where a replacement part could be sent to you and you can install it, just note the damage on all copies of the delivery receipt and we will send you the replacement parts. If the product is damaged beyond this then refuse the shipment. It is your right to inspect your product. Do not sign for or accept the product if the driver does not allow you to inspect it. If the merchandise leaves the delivery location, you assume all responsibility. It will not be possible to file a freight claim.

Please call within 24 hours to report a problem. 1-800.565.7557 in Canada.
    5. Save your box and all packaging materials until you are certain that your cabinet and all accessories are in satisfactory condition.
    6. If we need to ship replacements for damaged goods, we will ship them out as soon as possible. We cannot overnight or expedite your replacement shipment. Replacement of accepted damaged products will only occur when funds are received from the shipping company. If the freight claim is denied and you did not inspect the cabinet and have signed for it in good condition, the damaged product is your responsibility.
    7.Remember to call us before signing for the product if you do not understand this delivery agreement. It is no problem. We will be happy to walk you through the steps.
