Shipping Policy
Oversized items, such as sofa sectionals, sofa sets and home theater seats,
are shipped through freight companies. Most freight shipments take 10-14
business days to deliver after they leave our warehouse, if there are
no exceptional situations. It may take longer to ship to remote or rural
areas.
The freight companies
ship to 48 contiguous states only. Their regular work time is Monday through
Friday. For some regions, weekend deliveries might be available with extra
charges. For some rural routes that are hardly reachable by trucks, extra
charge applies for delivery. We are not able to ship P. O. Box or APO/FPO
addresses.
Delivery
Process
After we receive a
freight order, it takes 3-5 business days to process the order and prepare
for the shipment. Please be patient with this process, as our warehouse
needs to pack your items properly to protect them during the transit.
After the order is picked up by the freight company, we will email you
tracking information.
When the shipment is
in your area, the freight company will call you to set up a delivery appointment.
As the freight company delivers multiple orders on each day, they are
only able to decide on a specific date but not able to narrow down the
time window.
Please inspect your
item upon delivery in presence of the delivery team, at least in general.
The driver is not required to wait for you to unpack everything for a
full inspection, unless there is noticeable damage on the outside packaging.
Please note on the bill of lading for anything you notice that is unusual,
and keep a copy of the paperwork. Contact our customer service right away
if assistance is needed.
In case of
damage in transit, return and replacement are only eligible when proper
notations are made to the Bill of Lading. Please keep your original
packaging for 30 days, and the item will need to be wrapped and packaged
properly in case of replacements. All damage claims sent to our returns and replacement departments must be accompanied
by a picture of the damage.
Standard freight shipment
delivers to curbside. All freight items on our website are shipped to
curbside only by default, unless otherwise noted. All our promotional

Other
Extra Charges
Storage Fee:
If the freight company is not able to reach the recipient within 72 hours after their first phone call, or if the freight company has to hold the item, the recipient will be subject to storage fee. The charge may differ area by area, and most of the time it is $10 per day.
Redelivery Charge:
Redelivery charge applies when the first appointed delivery attempt is
not successful, for reasons such as absence of the recipient. If the freight
company will need to make another delivery attempt, there will be a redelivery
charge that is usually within the range of $50 - $100.
