This Information was last modified on August 1, 2020.
All shipping prices and estimates listed on our site are for the continental United States only, please contact us for international shipping.
Furniture Shipping / Deliveries
Shipping time for freight items is approximately 2-3 weeks from the time that the items are picked up from our warehouse.
Ground Delivery
Smaller items such as accessories, prints, and fabrics, can be shipped using regular Fedex Ground or UPS Ground. Items that can be shipped via ground delivery will have a fixed delivery charged based on the item. In addition there are expedited service (next day or second day) for small packages that will incur additional shipping charges. Please contact our customer service for pricing information.
Standard Curbside Freight Delivery
After the furniture is thoroughly packed, it is shipped via less-than-truckload (LTL) common carrier. Once the shipment arrives to the destination terminal, the trucking company will call the receiving customer to let them know it has arrived and schedule a delivery window. The LTL common carrier will use a 28' or 48' tractor trailer unit to make delivery. The delivery will be made with one driver and the trailer will not have a lift gate. The customer must have someone on hand at delivery to provide assistance to the driver during unloading. Customer agrees to provide adequate assistance to the delivery driver during unloading at the curb of Customer's home. Additional people may be required depending on the size of the order being delivered. It is the customer's responsibility to take the furniture inside the home. It is Customer's responsibility to un-package the furniture items. It is the Customer’s responsibility to discard of any packing material. Extra charges will apply if the customer requests to have the shipment carried inside the home.
After unloading and before the driver leaves, the customer should inspect the furniture for damage. Product damage is rare, however, if damage is found, the customer should note the damage in the appropriate box on the Delivery Receipt (provided by the driver) and then sign. The customer needs to keep all packing material for the claims process. Contact AFK (Art for Kids) immediately and a claim will be filed. Note: If there are any tears, indentations or holes on the exterior of the package, but no damage is found, the customer should still note on the Delivery Receipt that the packaging contained holes and/or tears.
The delivery time for the Curbside Delivery method is typically 10 - 14 business days, but can run longer for some areas. This delivery method is less expensive than the Premium In-Home Freight Deliver.

Premium In-Home Freight Delivery
Premium in-home delivery is available for most items if you would like the item placed inside the threshold of your home or in a particular room with all packing materials discarded.
When furniture is shipped to a customer for inside delivery with set up, a specialty carrier will perform the delivery to the customer's home with two men. Once the shipment arrives to the destination terminal, the trucking company will call the receiving customer to let them know it has arrived and schedule a delivery window. The carrier will deliver the furniture in a 45' or 48' tractor trailer unit. The delivery will be made with two men and the trailer will have a ramp and/or lift gate. The two men will carry the furniture to the room(s) requested and set up the furniture (i.e., assemble beds, place hutch tops on hutch bases, etc.).
After unloading and before the driver leaves, the customer should inspect the furniture for damage. Product damage is rare, however, if damage is found, the customer should note the damage in the appropriate box on the Delivery Receipt (provided by the driver) and then sign. The customer needs to keep all packing material for the claims process. Contact AFK (Art for Kids) immediately and a claim will be filed.
