Furniture Delivery

Per Delaware guidelines, full delivery services of furniture and household goods are permitted.  To ensure the safety of our employees and customers, we are only offering ‘to the door’ deliveries at this time to limit contact and exposure.  When scheduling your delivery, please let your representative know which service you prefer.  We do have set up and assembly services available at this time.

Any questions or concerns regarding delivery or pick ups contact us via phone, email, or chat with us online.

In Home Repairs

We have resumed our service calls and services – please contact your store of purchase for more information.

If I purchase furniture now, how long with it take to receive?

If your item is in stock, it will be subject to delivery availability.  Due to COVID-19 and Delaware state guidelines, our delivery times and services may change.  Please continue to check on our website for any updates to these services.

Please note: we are experiencing longer than usual wait times and delays from our manufacturers.  Be assured our UFO teams are working hard to fulfill orders as soon as possible.  Thank you for your patience.

Lead times with special orders will vary by manufacturer.  Each manufacturer has different operating schedules due to COVID-19.  Some are closed, some are open; some are experiencing delays with shipping.  We will do our best to keep customers up to date on any lead time changes as they arise.  Please contact us for information on your specific order/items of interest.

We appreciate our Delaware and surrounding communities and customers support of each other, us, and many other small businesses during this difficult time and are confident together we will get through this.

We wish you and yours good health, be well, be safe, check on your neighbors, and may we do all we can to support one another during this difficult time.
