What about shipping?

Furniture prices quoted do not include shipping charges. Shipping is via a fully insured, blanket wrap service. Your furniture will be set-up in your home or office and all packing materials removed. Shipping will be quoted at the time of order. Vermont state sales tax is waived for all shipments that leave the state.

Please inform us of any narrow doorways, stairways and tight corners, so we can plan tricky deliveries with our shipper. A careful inspection of each piece should be made at the time of delivery. If any damage is found, you must note your bill of lading and confirm the damage with the shipper, so we can take the appropriate action. After pieces have been inspected and placed, the sale is final.
