Free Shipping applies to
all products shipped to a location within the 48 contiguous states. Shipping
to all other locations will require a freight quote. Please call

Shipping Method
UPS or Fed Ex Ground:
Smaller items are often delivered via UPS or Fed Ex Ground service. Some
accessories and furniture items delivered via UPS or Fed Ex will require
some assembly. Easy to follow assembly instructions will be included.
While you need not be home
to receive a UPS delivery, you must inspect your order and report any damage
or defect within 24 - 72 hours of delivery. Please see the section on
Inspecting Your Delivery for more information.
Motor Freight Delivery:
Larger items including most furniture pieces will be delivered by Motor
Freight Curbside Delivery. Items shipped by this method will be delivered to
your curbside. Please note that Motor Freight Delivery does NOT
include unpacking the furniture, furniture placement, assembly, or removal
of packaging material. Some accessories and furniture items delivered via
motor freight will require some assembly. Easy to follow assembly
instructions are included.
In some cases, curbside
Motor Freight Delivery can be upgraded to include inside delivery for an
additional charge. Please contact our Customer Service department at
866-869-8122 for more information regarding enhanced delivery options.
Please note that, for all
Motor Freight Deliveries, you must be present to sign for, and
inspect, your order. A driver will call ahead to schedule a delivery time
window. Please see the section on Inspecting Your Delivery
for more information.
Some items in your order
may originate from different manufacturers and may ship separately.
Shipping Timeframes
Shipping timeframes will
vary with manufacturer and individual product. Estimated shipping
time frames are given for each manufacturer. These are educated timeframes
based on our experience. We provide what should be the longest times not
the shortest. If you have a specific delivery time frame, we should discuss
this prior to order placement. Douglas Nance will never promise
something we don't think is possible just to get a sale. We will do our best
to expedite your order and help coordinate delivery, but cannot guarantee an exact delivery day
or time.
Scheduling Delivery
Motor Freight deliveries
are made by appointment. When your furniture is ready for delivery, the
freight company will in most cases telephone you to arrange a date and time
for delivery. Deliveries are most often scheduled between 8 AM and 5 PM
Monday through Friday (your local time). Please respond as soon as
possible with a date that is best for delivery. A re-delivery fee may be
charged if no one is available at the scheduled delivery time and a
re-delivery is required. If you choose not to schedule delivery within 5
days of the original delivery notification call, applicable storage fees or
returned freight may apply. If motor freight delivery fails to occur during
the appointed day and rescheduling is required please call the carrier first
and inform us as well. We will do our best to expedite your order and help
coordinate delivery, but cannot guarantee an exact delivery day or time.
That will be the responsibility of the Motor Freight company.
Please make sure someone is
at the delivery destination at the appointed time to receive the order.
If your home is not
accessible by delivery truck (for example: a summer home in a location
snowed-in during winter months), we may have to transport your merchandise
to the nearest accessible point and it will be your responsibility to
provide pick-up and transportation to your home.
Inspecting Your Delivery
Douglas Nance
offers quality products from the best brand names, and makes every effort to
ensure that these products are packaged and delivered by the most reputable
and qualified shipping companies. Despite these precautions, the possibility
does exist that your order may arrive with minor transit damage, or, in rare
instances, with a minor manufacturing defect. Thus, it is imperative that
you inspect your order for damage before signing the freight bill!
Damaged Goods
Obvious Damage:
If the box is clearly damaged, please remove product and inspect
immediately. If product has been damaged you should refuse delivery.
Push it back on the truck, make a note on the bill of lading and give us a
call so that we may ship a replacement.
Hidden Damage:
If the box has some damage, or if there is any reason for you to be
at all concerned about hidden damage, please write "PRODUCT DAMAGED"
clearly on the sheet that they ask you to sign. This simply ensures that if
there is any damage, it will be easy to take care of the problem.
When you make a report of
damage or defect to Douglas Nance Customer Service department,
we will take immediate action to remedy the situation. Do NOT assemble or
further unpack defective furniture. All items must be packaged back into its
original shipping containers for return to Douglas Nance. If
your order was delivered via FedEx, UPS or Motor Freight delivery, please save
the original packaging materials.

communication to ensure that the product you ordered is delivered to your

please contact our Customer Service department immediately, to arrange a
replacement or a full refund.
