Delivery of oversized items is limited to the first accessible dry area outside the home. The truck driver is responsible for delivering the goods to the agreed-upon location. Customers are required to provide their own warehouse equipment for unloading, or arrange for additional assistance from capable adults to transport the items into their homes.

Carrier will call you 24-48 hours prior to delivery to arrange a delivery time that will vary depending on the freight carrier’s schedule. Whatever information you can give during the phone call will be given to the driver to make the delivery easier for them and for you.

Inform the carrier if you have any circumstances that could affect the delivery (additional fees may apply):

1. Very narrow driveway

2. Dead-end street

3. Ferry for island locations, etc. (fees may apply)

Why Should I Keep the Original Packaging?

Due to the nature of our products, whether it be large furniture or other smaller items, they are often in the heavy or delicate categories. Our packaging is specially made to cater to each individual item. They are rigorously tested to ensure they can withstand most kinds of incidences in transportation. Any self-packed items by the customer will have a high chance of being damaged on the way caused by flimsy materials or improper techniques. That’s why we don’t generally allow any returns without their complete original packaging. In a way, this also prevents lots of potentially wasted efforts and protects the customer’s interest.
