that the information in this e-mail receipt is correct. We give you 24 hours to
review your e-mail confirmation and reply with any discrepancies or changes at
no charge. If the customer does not notify us of any changes within the 24-hour
window Affordable Furniture will proceed with ordering the merchandise from the
manufacturer. Any cancellation of the order after this point will need to
follow the Cancellation Policy as described below. Any exception to this
Cancellation Policy will be solely at the discretion of Affordable Furniture
management. In the event that Affordable Furniture management agrees to proceed

cancellation or restocking fee of up to 30% of the purchase price as well as
any shipping and handling fees that may apply. In order for a cancellation to
be addressed, the customer must submit the request in writing via e-mail to order@MyAffordableFurniture.com. Please note that only written requests

manufacturers that stand behind their products. In the event that a
manufacturer's defect occurs, please submit photographs and a clear description
of the defect to claims@MyAffordableFurniture.com and we will present the claim
to the manufacturer on your behalf. We will then work with the manufacturer in
question to assess the best way to remedy the situation. The remedy may be a
replacement of the defective part or item or may consist of a repair. Please
note that most of the time defects that pass the quality control check done by
the manufacturer as well as checks done by Affordable Furniture are very minor
in nature. As a result, these can be easily fixed by a professional in
furniture repair. Affordable Furniture will help to locate the appropriate
individual to repair the defect if the situation warrants.
Please
note that the method of correction will be at the discretion of Affordable
Furniture's management and will be assessed on a case by case basis.

responsibility for damages that occur during the shipping process rests with
the shipping carrier. If you are receiving curb-side delivery please note any
damage to the boxes being delivered on the delivery slip at the time you accept

ensure that you note these damages when you sign the assembly service slip.
Affordable Furniture will then work with the carrier to claim the costs and

exactly as pictured. Imperfections or variations in the grain, color, or sheen
of the wood may occur naturally. Stone finishes such as marble and granite may
differ in color and veining. In addition, variations in the color, sheen and
texture (wrinkling and natural marks) of leather may occur due to different
dying and tanning processes and natural phenomena. As a result, these naturally
occurring characteristics are not viewed as damages or defects. Please note
that images of products displayed on the Affordable Furniture website may
differ in color due to differences in the resolution of computer monitors.
Affordable Furniture always works with our partnering furniture manufacturers

Affordable Furniture deliveries require a signature on the Delivery Receipt.
When you receive your order you will be required to sign the Delivery Receipt.
The delivery receipt is for the purpose of recording the facts at time of
delivery and certifies the freight was received in good condition unless otherwise
noted. The consignee has the legal obligation to open everything that was
delivered to make sure there are no damages. The driver must wait for you to
open all the freight, please do not sign anything until you have made a full
inspection and you are completely satisfied with the condition of your
furniture. Although rare, damages do occur during the shipping process. please
make a notation of the exact damage on the delivery receipt before accepting
the delivery. The absence of an exception on the delivery receipt establishes
that there was no damages and you are completely satisfied with your purchase.
No further claim can be made if you accepted the freight in good condition.
Please
note that Affordable Furniture is not responsible for the furniture assembly,
if applicable, as we ensure to hire insured vendors such as Home Direct USA to
perform the furniture assembly. If you wish, you may request licenses and
insurance certificates from the vendors that Affordable Furniture hires to
perform the assembly. The vendors we hire have all the required insurances and
licenses to perform the tasks required to complete furniture delivery and
assembly, as a result you agree that any legal action will be directed towards
these vendors.
Your
credit card will not be charged at the time that your order is placed. This
will occur once the merchandise arrives at our warehouse from the
manufacturer(s) and is ready for shipment. At this time the status of your
order will be changed to "Ready to Ship" and your credit card will be charged.
All Affordable Furniture customers are contacted to confirm delivery and
shipping address via phone or e-mail. This process runs in parallel to the
change of your order status to "Ready to Ship" and the charge being applied to
your credit card. In the event that you are not ready to accept delivery we
will be happy to hold the merchandise in our warehouse at no charge for 7
business days. After this time passes your account will be charged a storage
fee of 2% of the purchase price per day.
All
shipping estimates listed on Affordable Furniture are approximate and we always
strive to adhere to them as closely as possible. Unfortunately, these estimates
are dependent on product availability from the manufacturer as well as shipping
delays en route to our facility. Therefore we cannot be held responsible for
beating or exceeding originally expected delivery estimates that are caused by
factors that are beyond our control. We have no control over delivery dates and
therefore make no promises or guarantees as to the delivery company performing
as it promises. If your delivery will be delayed Affordable Furniture will
notify you in the even that this happens. If an item is on back order we will
contact you within 24 hours of your order and advise of the estimated time of delivery.
If
the merchandise ordered will be delivered by a carrier such as UPS Freight you
will be contacted directly by the carrier to schedule a delivery appointment.
You will typically be provided a 2-hour window for your appointment that will
usually be Monday through Friday 8AM to 5PM. Weekend delivery is available at
an extra charge that is not included in the standard Affordable Furniture
shipping calculation and thus is the customer's responsibility. Representatives
of these carriers are not authorized to bring the merchandise into your home or
assemble the items. These services can only be arranged in advance, prior to
the shipment of your order from our warehouse at an additional fee. The
standard/typical delivery scenario is that of a curb-side delivery which means
that purchased items are unloaded from the truck and left by the curb of your
residence. Additional fees apply if the items you ordered require a lift-gate
to unload the truck, if you need the items to be brought into your home and
even more so if they need to be carried up the stairs or assembled. If you have
special requirements for your delivery please contact our Customer Service
department and we will be glad to assist you. Most of the items we sell are
large and heavy. Please ensure that at least one or two people are available to
help unload the truck at the time of the delivery appointment. In cases where
assembly of the furniture is ordered in advance Affordable Furniture
coordinates for the furniture to be brought into the customer's home and
assembled. As part of the service the trash left at the end of the assembly
process is removed from the customer's home. All Affordable Furniture customers
will be contacted via e-mail and/or phone to arrange for order delivery,
regardless of the delivery method or carrier. We do everything in our power to
ensure that we do not miss the scheduled delivery appointment. However, we
cannot guarantee that an unexpected occurrence may cause us to be late and will
do our best to stay as close to the agreed time as possible. We will do our
best to accommodate any special requests to ensure our customers are fully
satisfied. If you would like to check status of your order, have a question
regarding delivery or would like to obtain a tracking number, please e-mail to support@MyAffordableFurniture.com
If,
after numerous attempts are made by Affordable Furniture to contact a customer,
we are unable to reach them, we reserve the right to recall all merchandise for
a full refund of the purchase price, less all shipping and handling costs that
are incurred by us as a result. A restocking fee of up to 30% of the purchase
price may also apply. The same applies if a customer is not available to accept
a delivery at a previously arranged time after an appointment had been
scheduled and the delivery cannot be completed. Items offered with free
shipping are dependent upon customer location and size of order. We reserve the
right to alter this offer should your zip code lie outside standard UPS Freight
and FedEx delivery routes. In addition, orders for items with weights that are
more heavy than usual or expected may need to be readjusted for extra
unforeseen fees. No additional fees will be charged without notifying the
customer and obtaining prior approval. It is critical that any damages that are visible at the time
of delivery are noted on the delivery slip at the time of delivery and are
accompanied by the customer's signature. If the boxes containing the items appear
damaged please mark this very clearly on the delivery slip. If you have ordered
for the items to be assembled and have noticed any damages during the assembly
process, please ensure to note this clearly while signing the assembly service
paperwork. In the event that an item arrives damaged or defective please see
our Return and Refund Policy.
