POLICY - SHIPPING
Please inspect all your packages and note any damage at time of delivery on your delivery receipt. If you detect serious damage you should refuse delivery, as explained below.
HOW WILL MY ORDER SHIP?
We use the fastest, safest, and most reliable carrier to ship your products to you. We have long-term partnerships with some of the best residential shipping companies nationwide. Everything we sell is hand packaged and then we select the best shipping method in order to provide you fast, secure delivery to your home.
When we ship every order we notify you via the email address provided to us on your order. This email will state the freight company we shipped with and the tracking number of your products. We also send you the phone number and web site of the freight company so you can track your order. These freight companies provide you with an estimated date of arrival. The shipping companies will contact you to set up an appointment. Be sure to contact us if anything seems unusual with the progress of the shipment. We have two methods of shipment available: Small Parcel or Truck Freight.
Small Parcel
Whenever possible, we will ship smaller, lighter items via USPS, Fedex or UPS. USPS, Fedex, or UPS provides fast and reliable shipping available for many small items we sell. It will ship directly to your home. Depending on how close you are to the distribution area of FedEx, your item should arrive between 2 and 7 business days after it leaves our warehouse. We do require a signature on all shipments.
Truck Freight - CURBSIDE Delivery
Some items we sell are too large or too heavy to ship using a Small Parcel carrier. Therefore, our best option is to ship it to you using an LTL common carrier. Truck freight is different than standard FedEx or US Mail in that you will be responsible for carrying the product from the curb into your house. Truck Freight also differs from Small Parcel in that, for residential deliveries, the shipping carrier to schedule a delivery appointment will contact you. Most companies offer appointment windows (usually 2-4 hours) between 8:00 am and 5:00 pm, Monday through Friday. You will coordinate directly with the delivery company to arrange a convenient delivery time and date.
The most important thing to remember is to inspect the package thoroughly at the time of delivery. If the box has any damage, of any kind, or if there is any reason for you to be at all concerned about 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 easier to take care of the problem. If the package looks significantly damaged, you may refuse delivery of the package. The damaged package will be returned to us or our supplier and we will send you a new one. If you refuse delivery, please notify us so that we can expect the return shipment.
If you are ordering a very large item, please keep in mind that you may need a couple of people to help unload it. Alternatively, most truck freight companies offer additional services to help you move items from the truck into your house. Once we email you the tracking information, you can contact the shipper directly to inquire about additional services. You would be responsible for directly paying the truck freight carrier for any additional services.
WHEN WILL MY ORDER ARRIVE?
Once your order is placed it takes 2-7 business days to process the order, inspect the product and prepare your order for release.
For Small Parcel shipments, delivery usually takes between 2 and 7 business days after your order is released from the warehouse. Please call us if you have any questions or concerns.
For Truck Freight shipments, delivery usually takes between 7 and 12 days from when your order ships. For residential deliveries, you will be contacted for an appointment as soon as your order arrives at the local terminal. For commercial deliveries, no appointment will be made. If you need to make one, please contact us.
Rush order or expedited shipping is available to most areas. Please contact our customer service department for a quote at info@TempleSlug.com.
SHIPPING CHARGES AND FREE SHIPPING?
In order to keep your cost down and our pricing simple, we either provide shipping as an additional service or, in some cases, we charge shipping per item. The charges, if any, are indicated upon check out. If you have purchased an item that says shipping included or free shipping, no additional charges will occur, unless you have added other items to the order. Shipping charges are non-refundable. Although shipping charges are built in or free with certain accessories and packages, actual shipping charges are non-refundable.

King sizes and bedroom furniture (large dressers) generally costs $300.00.

POLICY - WARRANTIES
Warranties are provided by the manufacturers and you agree to be bound by their conditions. As the retailer, Temple Slug will facilitate the fulfillment of these warranties. Please review the information below.
LimitS ON MANUFACTURERS' WarrantIES
Manufacturers' warranties do not apply to products that were damaged in shipment to you. Those are shipping claims. See Truck Freight - Curbside Delivery above.
All manufacturers' warranties are limited warranties. Limited warranties cover manufacturer defects only and do not cover normal wear and tear or damage resulting from neglect, accidental or intentional damage, institutional or commercial use, or exposure to extremes in temperature, humidity, or to weather.
Wood is a natural material with variations of color, shade, configuration, streaks, and grain structure. Each individual piece of Temple Slug furniture has characteristic markings that will differ from photo and showroom samples. These markings are not defects unless they interfere with the functioning of the product. And the manufactures' warranties do not apply to damage caused after you take possession of the product:
- Do not expose your furniture to heat or liquids.
- Avoid using oil/thinner-based furniture cleaners. Use water-based cleaners or a damp cloth only.
- Articles such as glasses, bookends, flowerpots, and hot cups and dishes should have a cloth or felt-type pads on them. Beware of some felt pads that have a pre-glued side as some of these adhesives contain chemicals that can damage the finish.
- Always remember to lift objects rather than slide them across the finish.
- Tighten the nuts and bolts every few months to avoid wear and tear, especially on moving parts.
We, at Temple Slug, recognize that our customers expect us to assist them when they wish to file a claim with a manufacturer. The warranty is for the original consumer purchaser for residential use only and does not apply if the product is used in any commercial or institutional application (such as rental property or care facilities). The warranty does not cover any incidental or consequential damages. We will render assistance to customers who have purchased the product from us. We have long relationships with our suppliers. If we determine that a claim is warranted we will advise the manufacturer accordingly. They, generally, trust our judgment. But, it is ultimately the manufacturer who has the final decision on whether the warranty applies in a given case. Once they determine that the warranty applies, they will arrange repair, clean, or replace the defective product, or replace it with a comparable product. If we cannot repair or replace an item, we reserve the right to substitute a substantially similar part or product, or to give you store credit for a prorated portion of the purchase price of the defective product based on the length of time you have owned the products as compared to the length of the warranty period. Any such "payment" shall be paid in full satisfaction of all claims for breach of warranty,
All warranties run from the date of purchase.
Hardwood frames Limited Manufacturer Warranty of 5 years
Case goods Limited Manufacturer Warranty of 1 year
Platform beds Limited Manufacturer Warranty of 5 years
Futon mattresses: seams, tacking & zippers Limited Manufacturer Warranty 1-10 years
Slipcovers & pillows: seams & zippers Limited Manufacturer Warranty 5 years
YOUR LIMITED WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITY. In the event of a defect occurring during the warranty period you must contact us immediately. Any warranty issue must be accompanied by a written description of the defect along with a digital photograph (1MB maximum), your original order/invoice number, your name, address, phone number, and email. In some cases, we may need to have the defective part returned to us (at your expense). See our Warranty Claim Online FORM. The warranty only covers the item to be replaced and not the cost of getting the part to you.

If there is any damage to the package (no matter how slight) have the driver note the exceptions on the delivery receipt. Additionally, you can write "Package Damaged" when you sign for delivery. This is VERY important. If the package looks significantly damaged, you may refuse delivery of the package under the same terms without penalty. The damaged package will be returned to us and we will send you a new one. If you refuse delivery, please notify us so that we can expect the return shipment.
If you have already accepted the package and find that parts are missing or damaged, please contact us within 24 hours of receipt of products.

Our goal is to make buying online easy, safe, and efficient.
If you decide you do not want parts or a replacement unit, the item can be returned under our return policy. If your item is problematic due to a manufacturer's defect, we can either replace the defective part, or if necessary, the entire unit. We stand behind our products and maintain great relationships with the manufacturers who produce them. If you are having an issue, please contact us and we will make every effort to resolve it.
