Frequently Asked Delivery Questions
-
Will your delivery drivers move or take away my old furniture?
Our delivery drivers do not take any old furniture away. Our delivery drivers will at
their discretion move an existing piece of furniture to another room, preferably
on the same floor of the home. Moving existing furniture to a basement or a
second floor creates the possibility of damage. Our delivery drivers will
reserve the right to decide if this can be done safely and efficiently. We do
offer removal of old mattresses when a new mattress is purchased. Our delivery
drivers use their discretion on removal of old mattresses for health reasons.
-
How do I receive a timeframe for my delivery?
At the time of purchase, your sales associate will give you a specific day for
delivery if the product is currently in stock. One to two days prior to your
delivery, your will recieve a call advising you of your three hour timeframe.
If this timeframe will not work for you, we provide a number to call us back
so we can reschedule your delivery. If products are not in stock at the time of
purchase, we will provide an estimated time of arrival at the time of purchase.

original factory cartons. We find this to the be best protection for you to transport
your purchase home. You will be required to assemble any items that are picked up at
our warehouse. Assembly times vary, however most items have directions included.
Preparing For Delivery
Always take the following measurements:
- All door sizes, both width and height.
-
If the furniture is going up or down stairs, measure the diagonal distance between the ceiling
and the stairs. Keep in mind this measurement needs to be 4 or more inches greater than the
diagonal measurement of the piece.
- The height of the hallways.
The most common pieces that do not fit are:
-
Large headboards going upstairs. Because the headboard is much smaller than the dresser, many people
assume if will fit. However, many headboards are the tallest peice going into a bedroom.
-
Deep sofas. Sofas that are deeper in size can be tricky to get around corners/turns. The best way
to ensure a sofa will fit is to measure the diagonal distance from the head of the sofa to the
bottom of the front leg. This diagonal distance will tell you if the piece can fit through a door
or hallway.
-
Heavy merchandise that needs to be turned at the end of a hallway. The heavier a piece of furniture
is, the less maneuverable it is. Due to hallway constraints, the delivery team needs to put these
pieces on their ends to get around corners. This means the ceiling needs to be higher than the
diagonal measurement of the piece.
