Shipping & Handling
Freight Order Packaging
Our talented craftsmen operate from across the United States and carefully package the furniture built for your order in various ways. Each vendor we work with feels that they know the best way to get your order to you while operating within the confines of their business model. We trust and respect their judgement. You may receive your order fully crated (top, sides, and bottom), palletized, or a hybrid of the two. Below you will find a wide ranging photo array of packaging methods used by us and the craftsmen we work with. All are fully acceptable forms of packaging. Our craftsmen dislike seeing their beautiful work get accidentally or negligently damaged during the delivery process. We know that you don't want to receive damaged furniture, or experience the resulting delays, either. We package and crate all furniture with this in mind.
Damaged Shipments: Upon receiving your shipment, and before signing Bill of Lading(BOL)/freight release, inspect the exterior packaging for noticeable and obvious damages. If you notice damage to the exterior of the package, please access your purchased items and inspect them carefully for damage. Damage to exterior packaging and/or purchased items must be noted on the BOL/freight release at the time of delivery. If damage is not noted on the BOL/freight release, or, you do not report the damage to Woodland Creek Furniture within 5 days of delivery, we cannot file a damage claim with the freight company and you will be responsible for any additonal shipping costs. This is never something we want to see our customers experience.
Immediately call our Shipping Department, and describe the damage to the packaging or purchased items. If the noted damage is repairable, we will immediately send out the necessary replacement parts. If you believe, and we are in agreement (through review of damage description, photos, videos, etc), that your furniture is beyond repair and needs to be partially or fully rebuilt, the furniture will be returned to us at no additional shipping expense to you. If there is major or extensive damage to the piece, and you are out right rejecting the delivery, it is your responsibility to leave the contents in the package, or repackage them, so the shipper can return the shipment for credit. Remember, the signed BOL/freight release must note any damages.
It is our goal to get you your furniture in pristine condition. We thank you for your order and hope your furniture brings many years of happiness.
