Shipping and Delivery

What do I do if my furniture arrives damaged?
All of our furniture is carefully inpsected prior to being packaged and released to the shipping company. All necessary parts are included with the furniture and are loaded onto the shipping truck.
If your furniture arrives with damage, it is first and foremost important to make detailed records of the damage and to note the damage on the delivery form that the shipping company asks you to sign. Yes, we know that the delivery driver may tell you that you do not need to note the damage. That is inccorect.
How can I make sure the furniture will fit in my home?
Measure twice, order once!
Before ordering any furniture, be confident that it will fit in your home. Make certain that it will fit not just in the room you intend to use it, but also through any doorways, stairways, or elevators it must travel.
- Establish the best path from the exterior of your home to the room in which your furniture will be placed.
- The height and width of all doorways, stairways, and hallways along the path must not be exceeded by the furniture's minimum clearance measurements.
- Measure the dimensions of all doorways, stairways, and hallways along the path. If the furniture will need to travel through exterior structures — gates, porches, etc. — measure these too.
- If you live in a building with an elevator, measure the dimensions of the elevator's doors. Your building may have a freight elevator that is available for moving large objects.
- Moving through a doorway into a hall will require a certain amount of clearance. Measure the distance from the doorway to the opposing wall to ensure that the item can be maneuvered through the space.
- Consider wall corners, ceiling height, stairway widths and landings, and light fixtures that may provide obstacles and reduce maneuverability.
- When placing your order, check with us for information on your order's minimum clearance measurements.

How does shipping work?
It works pretty well!
We ship our furniture nationwide using a "White Glove" shipping service. This means that your furniture is transported from our North Carolina factory to you, brought into your home, unpacked, and installed in place. The shippers will then remove any packaging material. This service is convenient and hassle-free.
The shipping service's delivery schedules vary according to destination. In many cases, it will take between one and four weeks to deliver your furniture, after your beautiful new Roger + Chris furniture has been built just for you. Note that deliveries can take longer for West Coast recipients, those in remote areas, and in cases where scheduling does not permit earlier delivery.
We will provide you with multiple quotes from shipping companies, giving you an opportunity to select the carrier you prefer. After ordering your furniture, we will provide them with delivery information and will place them in contact with you to pay for the service. The cost varies depending on the size of the item and destination. We can provide an estimate prior to placing your order.
Alternatives:
If you would prefer to use an alternative freight shipping method or wish to pick up directly from us, we are happy to accomodate you.1
We can work with you to arrange for curbside delivery (rather than "White Glove"). In this scenario, the freight company would bring the furniture to your home, and you would be responsible for carrying it into your house and disposing of the packaging. In most cases, your furniture will be delivered in less than one week after construction has been completed.
On request, we can also arrange to have your furniture delivered to a local freight location and then picked up by a mover in your area. This may combine the best of both worlds, with faster delivery and the equivalent of "White Glove" installation in your home, but it may involve additional expense.
We are happy to consult with you regarding the best shipping strategy for your order. Please contact us with any questions.

- The furniture we manufacture is too large for shipping companies like UPS or FedEx, and must be shipped freight.
