How will my order ship?
All Deliveries will be made by a shipper chosen by Futonland. If the customer specifies a delivery company, we will attempt to use that company. If for reasons of size, weight, timing, or any other reason determined by our shipping department, the package may and or will be shipped with a shipping company of the shipping department choosing. Delivery will be by the shippers normal delivery method. UPS for example will deliver to your door, if no one is home, and the shipper has a policy not to leave packages without a signature, you can reschedule but UPS and many other shippers will not set up an exact time to meet you at your door. Many oversize items "too large for UPS" will be sent via delivery truck that will only get the item to the "sidewalk". You will need to carry the item into your home.This is common in New York City and other areas with "High Rise" buildings. The delivery companies will only give a time period which sometimes can be an entire day. You will have to make arrangements to receive the package or have someone at your home or business to receive the package. Please note that UPS and many other delivery companies charge a surcharge for Saturday deliveries and if you would like to arrange a Saturday delivery, please email for additional pricing. If a recipient is notified of a delivery date, and the recipient is not there to meet the shipper and accept the package, the recipient will be responsible for any and all "redelivery" charges that may apply.
Outside of the 48 Contiguous U.S. shipping will be extra pending the zip code location: Any items shipped out of the continental 48 United States will require the customer to pay for any and all shipping of any replacement or missing parts regardless of cause. If it is necessary for damaged parts to be returned to Futonland.com, the shipping will be the responsibility of the customer.
White Glove Freight
White glove delivery is
available for most seating and furniture products and includes delivery, set up,
and trash haul away. If you need old chairs and desks hauled away as well,
please let us know so that can be included in your quote for white glove
services.
In all cases the shipper will not hookup any electrical or component wires. Having items carried up more than 25 steps and longer assembly periods are available as additional services which would require additional charges. Please contact us if you feel you need these services.
When your order arrives at the delivery agent closest to your home or office, you will be contacted by a scheduling clerk for a delivery appointment. The appointment is typically a 2- to 5-hour window, Monday through Friday during regular business hours. Saturday deliveries are not always possible.
One other important thing to remember about white glove freight is that you MUST inspect the product and any packaging you see at the time of delivery. If there is any damage to either the product or the package, or if there is any reason for you to be at all concerned about damage, please write "PRODUCT DAMAGED" clearly on the sheet that they ask you to sign. This simply insures that if there is any damage, it will be easy to take care of the problem.
