It is furthermore agreed that Company’s Warehouse Receipt Terms and Conditions are electronically published at https://www.miamifurnituresassembly.com/ disclamer.html, and may be amended by Miami Furniture Assembly Svcs from time to time, without notice. In the event of any conflict between these Warehouse Receipt Terms and Conditions as printed herein and the electronically published Warehouse Receipt Terms and Conditions, the electronically published version shall control. It is expressly understood that this Warehouse Receipt does not cover or apply to any rights, obligations, terms or conditions of the freight forwarding, customs brokerage or other services that Miami Furniture Assembly has provided or may provide to the Customer; and that those separate services shall be governed by their respective Terms and Conditions which are provided separately and are posted on the above referenced website.Disclaimer: 

Please remember that furniture can be bulky.  Neither we nor the carrier will be responsible for costs or delays due to insufficient clearance for items to be delivered. Please measure all stairwells, hallways, doorways, and elevators to be sure there is adequate clearance.  When the carrier calls to schedule delivery, advise them of these dimensions and of any other conditions of your home and property that might be an issue, such as steep or winding driveways, long flights of steps. Customers are responsible for all measurements.  Delivery and return handling charges are non-refundable should merchandise not fit.  Additionally, there will be a 40% merchandise restocking fee. Remote or inaccessible locations may cause a delivery surcharge or may require that you accept delivery at an alternate location that is accessible.  In some remote areas, delivery services may not be readily available.

1. Receiving & Deliveries:  

 a. Curbside delivery: Your items will be delivered to the back of the truck.  YOU will be responsible for unloading from the truck, final delivery to your location, installation of the product, and removal of the debris. The truck driver is not obligated to help unload the truck once the product is moved to the back of the truck. Please be aware that most furniture items can weigh 100-1000 lbs depending on the item.  You will need at least two people with the ability to lift these weights at the time of delivery.  A significant charge will be assessed to you by the shipping company if you are unprepared, unable or refuse to unload the product which will require an additional return trip by the shipper at a later time.  Please contact your customer service agents for pricing details and options.

b. Inside Delivery: For an additional fee you may choose to have your products delivered to your home. Most large items ship with our "White Glove Service".  This type of delivery includes delivery of all products inside your home and placed in the room of your choice (on the first floor).  This service is inside the room but does include set up in most cases unless it requires assembly.  We will get the product inside your home but it is your responsibility to unpack and assemble if needed unless you have purchased the assembly of the furniture. Please contact your customer service agents for pricing details and options available to you.

c. IN THE EVENT THE FURNITURE DOES NOT FIT INTO THE ROOM OR INTO THE HOUSE, THE DELIVERY SERVICE WILL NOT RETURN THE MERCHANDISE WITHOUT AN AUTHORIZATION FROM MIAI FURNITURE ASSEMBLY. IN THIS CASE, THE CUSTOMER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE FREIGHT COST BOTH WAYS AND A 30% RESTOCKING FEE.

d. Inside Delivery and Installation: For an additional fee this type of delivery includes the inside delivery service listed above and includes installation of the products and removal of debris.  Please contact your customer service agents for pricing details and options available to you. 

e. Please note that orders that are refused for no reason without prior notice or canceled after the product is in transit, the customer will incur both freight charges to the customer’s home and the return freight charges back to the warehouse.

f.  Miami Furniture Assembly Svcs LLC will not be held responsible for merchandises being shipped to our warehouse from any vendors or carriers. Due to the exchange of hands from point of origin of the merchandise, to the port, to the carrier then to our warehouse, merchandise(s) may have received some type of damage prior to arriving at our warehouse. When the truck arrives at our warehouse, we use a forklift to unload the merchandise and straight to racks for storage. When merchandise is ready to be delivered we follow the same procedure to load our trucks. We will always open the merchandise at the site location. If an item is damaged, we will notify the vendor and submit pictures of the damaged area. Its the responsibility of the vendor to notify the company that shipped the merchandise to report the damage. For an additional fee, we'll be more than happy to open all boxes upon arrival of the truck. These fees are associated with the labor hours cost to open each box, inspect and tape the box back. These fees will help you to submit a claim in a timely manner and avoid any complications with your client.
