Q: WHAT ARE MY SHIPPING AND DELIVERY OPTIONS?

A: Big D Leather has chosen to partner with a premier furniture Delivery Company to ship the majority of our orders. Because furniture and home accessories are all they handle, they provide our customers with a superior shipping experience. This protects our customer’s investment in fine furniture. This can take a little longer than some other carries, but we feel the benefit to our customer outweighs the time difference.

You must note any damage on the driver's delivery ticket at the time of delivery, otherwise the carrier may not accept the claim. Unless Supplemental Insurance is purchased, Big D Leather has no liability for the merchandise once it leaves our docks. If your merchandise needs to be replaced, you would pay for a new item and then collect from the freight company. Although damage occurs very rarely WE HIGHLY SUGGEST SUPPLEMENTAL INSURANCE.

Please feel free to contact us if you are not sure.

Q: CAN I CHANGE THE ITEMS THAT WE BUY FROM WHAT IS LISTED?
