These estimates can and do change unexpectedly from time to time due to circumstances of which we have no control over.

WE USE SPECIALIZED FURNITURE ONLY SHIPPING COMPANIES.  We do this because specialized carriers are more adept at the proper care and gentle handling our pieces deserve.

The dates we provide are based on delivery to our local area.  If you live in an area substantially distant from our showroom, please anticipate additional transit time depending on where you live.

To find what we charge for shipping and delivery, many items have charges specified on their product page.  If not, you can call us or simply add an item to your shopping cart, then go to the shopping cart and enter the required information into the "calculate shipping" section. 

IN STORE PICK UP - The simple choice is to come in and pick up your order once it arrives.  If you decide this is for you, please make certain that you bring all necessry blankes, straps, and anything needed to safely get your new items to their final destination safe and sound.  

BASIC DELIVERY - If you'd like to have us get your items to you, but you prefer to move them about your home, we offer a BASIC Bring It Just Inside My Door service.  When everything is ready, we'll call you and schedule a day and time to bring your order to your home.  Once there, we'll unpack it and bring it just inside your door.  And from there it's all up to you.
