Customer Service

How do I figure out shipping charges?

We look for the best, least expensive method of getting our products to you in a timely manner. If you have special shipping requirements, next day delivery for instance, we are happy to oblige. Just let us know. Most items (total order weight 150 lbs or less) ship UPS or Fedex ground. Other items will be routed as truck shipments or oversized UPS, see below. The estimated shipping charge is based on the weight of the shipment. In most shipments the estimated shipping cost is correct. However, if the size of the shipment/carton is considered "oversize" by UPS or Fedex, additional shipping costs will be incurred and are not included in the estimated shipping cost total. Customer service will call to advise of additional freight charges.

Oversized Shipping

Oversized items may still be able to ship via UPS but will ship at the UPS 35 lb. rate. UPS rates for oversized items are determined by package size, rather than weight (dimensional weight rate) and are higher than rates for smaller parcels. Oversized items can ship up to a 150 pound rate. If you need specific shipping charges please check with customer service.

Truck Shipment

Orders which exceed 150 pounds, will ship by truck. Residential truck shipments, as well as truck shipments to New York City, Washington D.C. and RI may require additional charges plus freight. Please consult customer service before placing an order for exact shipping charges.

How do I return a product?

You can return any merchandise, with a few exceptions, within 90 days from the time you receive it for full credit or refund. Merchandise must be returned in re-saleable condition. Furniture may require a re-stocking charge. Custom manufactured or printed items, unless defective, cannot be returned. All we ask is that you call or email our customer service department for a return authorization (R.A.) number and instructions so that we may credit your account properly. You can help us expedite your claim by taking the following steps:

1. When your order arrives inspect it carefully for damage before signing.
2. If contents are damaged, do not discard the carton. Call, or email customer service for proper claim instructions.

There are occasions when restocking charges are applicable. There may also be a charge for post production cancellation of custom made items. Call 1.800.628.1912 for more details.
