Shipping Information

  • What is the shipping cost?

    Look for the Free Shipping icon by select items, which means our price includes shipping throughout the continental USA. 

    For items that do not have Free Shipping, we will be pleased to provide you with reasonable freight quotes on orders less than $3,000.  For larger orders, you will be contacted by a representative regarding shipping charges.

    Orders shipped via semi-truck are shipped ''Dock to Dock''.  Liftgate service and inside delivery are not included and will incur an additional charge. Many of our items are shipped disassembled. Some shipments may require a signature in order to be left at your door.

    We cannot be held responsible for freight costs incurred by returned shipments for this reason. We reserve the right to bill you for shipping charges on refused shipments. We reserve the right to bill you for incorrect delivery addresses, typos caused by you when your order was placed, and requests to forward shipments to another address. Shipping charges are non-refundable.

  • How long will it take to ship my order?

    Due to the wide collection of products we offer, lead times vary. Please refer to the individual item page for shipping times, or call us at 973-246-8067.  If delivery time is a concern, please contact us with the specific product you are interested in and we will give you an approximate ship date. Orders using expedited delivery that cannot be fulfilled within ten business days will be refunded.  The expedited shipping fee and the order will ship within the standard delivery time.

  • How will my order ship?

    FedEx/UPS Ground: Smaller products can be shipped via FedEx or UPS Ground. When FedEx or UPS makes a delivery, they will carry the cartons off of the truck and into the first dry area of your building. 

    Common Carrier (Truck) Delivery: Larger shipments must be shipped on a truck. When goods are shipped via Standard Delivery using a common carrier (e.g. Con-Way, Roadway, ABF, UPS Freight, etc.) the standard delivery is called “tailgate delivery” which means the truck driver is only responsible for moving the furniture to the tailgate (back) of the truck. You are responsible for unloading the furniture from the truck and carrying it into your building. 

    However, most common carriers offer optional services for additional fees.

    These services include:

    • Notify Before Delivery: You may request to be notified of the date and approximate time of the delivery. When a shipment is ready to ship, the trucking company will call you within approximately 24 hours to arrange for a convenient time to make the delivery. 

    • Liftgate Delivery: This type of service is recommended for heavier or larger shipments. A liftgate (a steel elevator-like platform at the end of the truck) is used to lower the merchandise off the truck down to the street level. 

    • Assisted Inside Delivery: The truck driver will help you offload the goods from the truck and bring them into the first dry area of your building.
