Additional Charge for Updated Order
-- Why do I need Freight Quote?
Unlike smalls packages could be shipped out by US Postal Service or Fedex, restaurant furniture normally shipped out on pallets via professional freight carriers. It’s just unfair for most of the customers that some of other sellers mark up too much on all the items for offering “Free Shipping”.
Base on more the 20 year business experiences, we believe the best way for saving freight cost for our customers is comparing different freight carriers for every individual orders. It’s hard to make good balance between quality service and lowest budget. But, don’t worry; our freight department has very professional ability to make the best choices for our customers all the time.
-- Why ship to commercial addresses only?
Due to the size and weight of furniture, we are unable to provide a flat rate for most items. Please click on “Submit your order for a freight quote" icon to request a freight quote when submitting the orders. We’ll reply to you via email for freight quote in one business hour.
Absolute Seating always offers the most cost-effective shipment method to our customers.
Our standard shipping quotes are for commercial addresses only without any additional services.
All standard shipments are to curbside only. If the delivery site is without a loading dock, the truck will park in a designated loading zone nearby. We recommend Lift Gate service for those addresses without loading docks.
-- What's the lead time for delivery?
Delivery time is normally 3~9 business days from the date of shipment, depending on the distance, area, and weather. We will send you a shipment confirmation when your order has shipped and tracking information within 24-48 hours of shipment.
Customers can use their own carriers to pick up orders from our location; however, Absolute Seating is not responsible for any freight-related issues with 3rd party carriers arranged by customers.
Customers must be on site during the time of delivery. Re-delivery fee or other additional service fees will be applied if the carrier attempted delivery but was unsuccessful due to incorrect delivery information or if there was nobody on site.
