Product that was previously allocated to your original order may no longer be in stock and available for your amended order.

Yes with qualifications. All product is ordered and shipped under the Design Services SKS account with the contracted carrier.

The manufacturer's policy reads as follows: " We expect our dealers to handle ordinary deluxing of our furniture as a service to their customers.

That is considered freight damage and must be noted on the freight company paperwork at the time of delivery. Your receiver is responsible for filing and following up on any freight claims. Freight carriers will require images of the packaging with the product still in the box, a full shot of the product, and as many close-ups of the damage as possible. All claims must be received within 14 days from the delivery date or they will be denied. If your claim is approved, the freight company will order the product and a replacement will be sent to you.  Keep in mind that each freight company has different timing in regards to their claims, some could take up to 45 days to be resolved. It is essential for you to establish these receiving rules with your receiver before product is shipped to avoid freight claim denial by the freight company. Using the Design Services SKS assigned carrier on all shipments aids in the smooth management of freight claims when they occur.

This is considered concealed freight damage. The freight company allows 12 days from the time of receiving to file this type of claim.

The decision to repair or replace the product will be determined by the freight carrier. If you do not provide the digital images within the 12 day window, no credit or replacement will be authorized.
