Why buy from us?
Advises and Inside Secrets from Furniture Experts!

-short comment...
Be careful when selecting who you dealing with!
Today, if you don't know, drop shipping became very popular. Many online, home based companies that never seen or dealt with furniture and know nothing about it, start selling it. Most of the times those people don't know what they sell. Product can be of bad quality, unreliable, uncomfortable, etc.

So, why buy from us?!
We've been in furniture business 15 years.
We also own and and operate furniture stores in San Francisco Bay Area. We love furniture.
We know which manufactures to deal with, which offer good quality, and which to stay away from.

Daly City, CA Warehouse


We know the product, how it looks, the quality, the feel.
And we are more than happy to recommend and guide you through the selection process.
Unlike many of online furniture stores that do drop shipping without ever seeing what they sell.

We carefully select only the best for our customers.
We do not just sell ten thousand sofas like other retailers.
Every year our sales team attends various furniture shows throughout the country
where they check all the products to select only the best for the customer.

We offer lowest prices, period.
Many companies state that they can bit or match competitor prices.
Why state so?!, if you can offer lowest in a first place!
 

We offer excellent rate of safe shipping
Many drop shippers and companies offer you direct manufacture shipping. There is a high chance that furniture will get damaged during such transportation. Most of the furniture we sell goes through our own warehouse where it is carefully checked and extra packed if needed. We care about you, and we don't want to waste your time dealing with damaged furniture.

Catalog availability
Currently we are in process of creating product catalog. Whenever we will have it available, we will post necessary information online.

Product picture accuracy
Color, texture, and graining variations can occur in natural products like leather, wood and stone. These are not normally considered imperfections. For leather products all colors other than Black & White are bound to have variations in every production line. Color representations on computer terminals and screens can be different based on settings and various display technologies. To optimize website performance, product pictures have been scaled down in detail to help make web pages load faster. As a direct result, in some small cases fine detail in the pictures of furniture may have been sacrificed for the websites performance. It is the customer's responsibility to request additional high resolution pictures so that they may see exactly what they are getting before purchasing. Customer also agrees that they may not dispute the finish, or color or texture or any other physical attribute after taking delivery of a product.

Leather / fabric swatches
There are some products for which there are no swatches available. For other products we are currently in process of creating swatches. If there is swatch available for a specific product, we will post that info on that product's page.

Warranty Policy
Most of the items are covered under manufacture specific warranty. Manufacturers warranty policy varies. (1) Moving the furniture from the original delivery address voids any warranty. (2) Commercial usage will void warranty. (3) Warranty claims may take an estimated 30 days to process. By purchasing a product you accept manufacturer's specific warranty.

When order will be shipped?
All orders are shipped via ground carriers. Items usually ship within 3-5 days, unless otherwise noted on the product detail page. Deliveries can take an additional 2-3 weeks after the shipping date, depending on location. Our carriers will contact you a day or two prior to arrival to set up a delivery time frame with you. We offer free shipping in the continental United States on almost all of our products. Alaska & Hawaii excluded.

Shipping Time
Please allow the lead-time for delivery depending on the product type, color, model, manufacturer, and other factors. Please Note: THE SHIPPING TIMES WE QUOTE ARE ONLY ESTIMATES, NOT GUARANTEES. When it comes to order times we are depending on the factory, and freight carriers to provide us with the estimated ship date. Some specialty furniture carriers use third party carriers for some delivery locations, and are unable to provide up to the minute tracking information that is common for small packages. Please understand we are doing our best to ensure best deliveries suited for your product.

Claims
Our products are well-packaged to withstand damage during shipping. We double box many items, have extra quality control in the factories we work with and refuse to carry products that are easily damaged during shipping.

While cases are extremely rare, damages do happen once in a while. We request that you inspect your items upon delivery. If items are damaged or suspected to be damaged, it must be documented "Damaged upon arrival" where you sign for the items. The delivery driver must wait while you inspect. If the driver does not agree to wait, note "Possible damage" on the bill of delivery. It is important to be as detailed and descriptive as possible on the delivery slip before you sign for your items. A signature indicates acceptance; without inspecting the boxes, you are accepting the shipment "as is" and will be fully responsible for any replacements (including freight) or repair costs if transit related.

For damages unnoticed at the time of delivery, we require that you notify us in writing and send us photographs via e-mail within 24 hours following the receipt of your order. If the damages are not promptly and fully noted and reported, we cannot cover your replacements free of charge. We will work with you to best remedy the situation at our discretion. This can consist of replacing the defective item or repair. Most manufacturer defects are very minor in nature and can be easily fixed by a professional furniture medic using the same quality control solutions inducted at the factory. Customer satisfaction is our top priority.

We reserve the right to repair and/or replace items in question on a case by case scenario. PLEASE NOTE: if you do not contact us within 24 hours of delivery that a product is damaged or has missing pieces, your claim will be null and void. Any returns, repairs, or replacements after this time shall be at the buyer's expense.

Avetex Furniture is not responsible for the furniture assembly, when this service level is requested. Please contact these agents directly if you require licenses and insurance certificates for delivery. These delivery agents have the required certification to perform residential furniture delivery and assembly. As a result you agree that any legal action will be directed towards such company and Avetex Furniture will not be liable for any damages incurred to the premises.

Due to variations in photography, monitors, and lighting, Avetex Furniture cannot guarantee that the finish of the order will be exactly as pictured. Imperfections or variations in the grain, color, or sheen may occur naturally in wood as well the dying/tanning process of leather. As a result, these naturally occurring characteristics are not viewed as damages or defects.
