Orders

Shipping

When will I receive my order?

    It depends on the type of product, when you place your order and the distance between you and the warehouse. If you have a deadline, please check with us prior to placing your order.

    Supply chain and heavy demand times -- We are currently experiencing abnormal shipping delays at some manufacturers. Please refer to the product detail page or our Shipping Update page for further shipping information.

    • Type of Product - some products ship from the warehouse in a day or two while others are made to order and can take a week to ship out. Please check the product description for the time to ship. Furniture takes longer in transit as it usually ships via freight truck.
    • Order Day - Orders placed Friday noon to Sunday or holidays do not go into production/shipping until the next business day.
    • Distance - We ship from various US locations (Indiana, Texas, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Oklahoma, Georgia). Your distance from the shipping warehouse will affect the time in transit.
What if I don't receive my product?

    All shipments have tracking information, so you will have access to the status of your shipment. As a convenience to you, we don't require delivery signatures except for freight deliveries of furniture.

    If tracking indicates that your package has been delivered, please ask neighbors, building managers, or others that may have received the package first. If you still cannot find the package, please call or email us and we will file a claim with the manufacturer or carrier. This process will take several days and the carrier may need to contact you.

Do you have White Glove Delivery?

    The type of delivery called "White Glove" is for delivery of heavy furniture into your home. Currently none of the furniture available allows for this type of delivery.

    • All major credit cards

Do you offer a payment plan?

    Yes. We have partnered with Shop Pay and Afterpay to offer payment plans. Click Here for more information about these plans.

Why does my credit card say "pending"?

    When you place an order, our secure payment system authorizes your method of payment. We have a limited amount of time to actually "capture" the payment.

    Typically we capture the payment on the day of shipment. However we may capture the payment a few days early if shipment takes longer than 5 days (i.e. custom products).

    If an order is cancelled before the payment is captured, you may continue to see the pending payment on your credit card for a few days. When it finally falls off your account is controlled by your credit card company.

Why was I charged before my item shipped?

    Under normal circumstances, your method of payment will not be captured prior to your item being shipped.

    However during times of heavy demand (or pandemics), there will be shipping delays. If the delay is longer than 5 days from order date we must capture the payment before the 7th day or the order will be voided.

    We appreciate your patience during those times.
