Freight Claims:
Furniture Crafters' responsibility for all merchandise ceases when shipments are received by the carrier.  All furniture shipped FOB-Factory means legally the title of ownership is the consignees or customer when the carrier signs the Bill of Lading...prepayment of shipment cost does not affect FOB-Factory terms.  The Consignee or Receiver of the merchandise is responsible for verification of quantity and condition before acceptance.  If damage is found, the merchandise should be refused and returned to the carrier for repair at the carrier's expense.  Furniture Crafters' is not responsible for merchandise damaged in transit, or while merchandise is in storage.  Those claims should be filed directly with the carrier or storage facility.  Failure to make such claim after 7-day (72 hours on concealed damage) period is deemed to constitute the customers acceptance of the merchandise.  Any additional freight charges will be invoiced.

                  1.  All shipments should be opened and inspected as soon as they are received.  Check what you received against the  Delivery Receipt or the Bill of Lading.  These are legal documents and should receive the proper attention intended to protect all parties.

                  2.  Visually inspect all cartoons and containers for any obvious damage or abuse.  Any visible damage to a carton or packaging materials must be noted on the Deliver Receipt---"Cartons Damaged, Contents Subject to Inspection."

                  3.  In the event of freight damage, the consignee or customer, not the shipper, must file the freight claim.  Prepayment of shipment in no way changes the FOB status of the shipment.  All freight claims must be in writing, verbal messages are in many cases deemed useless.

                  4.  For obvious damage or shortages...Note any shortages and damages to carton or merchandise in detail on your copy and the driver's copy of the Delivery Receipt or Bill of Lading.  Make sure the carrier's driver also signs and dates this document.  Also note, "Claim will be filed due to listed damage or loss".  All this must be in writing.

                  5.  All damaged merchandise plus packing materials must be kept in the general vicinity of delivery until an inspection report is made by the delivering carrier.  Do it is important that you do not dispose of the cartons or packaging until you have properly handled any and all discrepancies.  Call the carrier's nearest office and request an inspection.  Also send the following written notice "This is notification of intent to file claim against damaged merchandise-inspection requested ASAP".  This request must take place immediately after delivery.  Make sure all claim forms are requested and properly completed.  Once a claim is officially made in writing the carrier must provide prompt inspection and give you a written report.

                  6.  If concealed damage is found, you should telephone the carrier to expedite a "Consignee Concealed Damage Claim Form", which upon completion is to be filed with the carrier.  You must notify the carrier within 72 hours of delivery and follow the above-mentioned guidelines. 

Returns
No merchandise is to be returned to us without first securing the proper return authorization from Customer Service.  To obtain proper authorization, send to us in writing detailed information as to why you wish to return the merchandise.  All instructions must be followed for proper credit, and we will refuse to accept delivery of any merchandise returned to us without such authorization.  Damage due to negligence, misuse, or freight damage is not to be considered to involve factory defects.  Any damage incurred upon the return of merchandise because of customers' improper packaging will be billed to the customer.  Any and all damages will be billed on a time and materials basis.  All claims against Furniture Crafters of Virginia, Inc. resulting from defect, shortage, or error must be made within 7 days after delivery.  The facts on which the claim is based must be directed in writing to Furniture Crafters'.  Failure to make such claim within a 7-day period is deemed to constitute the customer's acceptance of the merchandise. 

Leather
Leather is sold on a square foot basis in whole hide quantities.  Hides average 50 square feet.  Use the following figures when estimating quantities needed. 

  54"FABRIC          LEATHER

   1 yard            =     18 square feet

To figure leather square footage...multiply the required yards by 18 square feet.  For example: 4 yards = 72 square feet of leather.  Call our customer service department for leather pricing.

Fabric Cutting Standards
There are two ways of "topping" fabrics, termed Railroad and Cut Right by Furniture Crafters of Virginia.  Railroad is "topped" to the edge of the fabric (across the 54" Width) and Cut Right is "topped" into and up the roll.  All COM will be cut with the major motif in a vertical manner unless you specify otherwise, including stripes and textures.  In the absence of special instructions, we reserve the right to determine the application of your fabric.  In these instances requiring such a decision, Furniture Crafters of Virginia, Inc.  will not be held responsible for soil resistant treatment on fabric and does guarantee it to improve the clearing qualities of the fabric.  Also, treatment applied after manufacturing is not recommended since damages to the fabric can occur.  Wrinkling of certain fabrics is a characteristic of the fabric and not a defect. 

Customers Own Material (COM) Instructions:
COM Orders:  Orders requiring COM applications require the following procedures to insure the most expeditious handling of your order.  Please include on your order the following COM fabric information:

          1. Fabric Name/ Number
          2.  Mill Name

          4.  Swatch of fabric COM

COM Fabric Supplier:  Please attach a representation cutting of the COM fabric and supplier name to your order for proper identification in the factory.  As it is difficult to identify the front side of many fabrics, please indicate on the fabric cutting which side is the front side of the fabric.  Please include any special instructions on how the fabric is to be applied to the item.  Fabric is to be applied up the bolt (cut right) or railroad, ect.

Pricing COM Orders:
Furniture Crafters' will apply COM material at our COM pricing.  Our standard COM pricing is for a non-match fabric being applied.  If Vinyl or crypton type fabrics are being used as COM, there will be a pricing surcharge applied to your order.   When 2 or more fabrics are to be applied with customers own material there will be a 15% surcharge above the COM pricing.  Pattern matching of plaids and unusual pattern fabric is done from a frontal view only.  If additional matching is required such as 4-way matching, there will be an additional surcharge of 20% above the COM price.  Please contact Furniture Crafters if this additional matching is required. 

COM Yardage Requirements:
COM fabric yardage requirements shown in the upholstery catalog and price list are based on non-match 54" wide fabrics, which are free defects.  Please use the following chart as a guide in determining the amount of yardage which will be required on your COM fabric.  Take the below listed % and use as a plus multiplier against our published yardage in price book (ex: 8 yards x 1.25 =10 yards).  This chart is provided as a guide and proves to be accurate for most COM requirements.  If your fabric has an irregular layout or may require a different method of cutting, additional yardage may be needed.  This will be determined at the time the order is placed in production, and you will be notified for additional yardage.  Fabrics which have one center motif across the width use 36" yardage requirement.

Since wood has a variety of textures, colors and grains, it is impossible to guarantee an exact match in finishing two pieces of furniture, even though identical finishing processes are applied.  These variations create the beauty and interest found in fine woods.  Wood grains and mineral streaks are a natural characteristic of the wood and is not a finishing defect.

Our standard finish process is an 8-step finish as follows:

STEP 1:  Sap in all light wood                                STEP 5:  Hand Sand
STEP 2:  Wet coat of body stain                           STEP 6:  Wet coat of 24% high solid sealer
STEP 3:  Wet coat of permilite stain                     STEP 7:  1st coat of 24% high solid lacquer
STEP 4:  Wet coat of 24% high solid sealer        STEP 8:  2nd coat of 24% high solid lacquer

Whitewash Type Finish:
While we strive to maintain consistency in all of our finishes, the whitewash finish may show wood grain and mineral streaks in some areas.  This is also a natural characteristic of the wood and is not a finishing defect.  We cannot guarantee complete uniformity in this finish.

Packaging:
All exposed wood chairs are shipped using a bubble wrap over finished areas, then placed in carton tray, and enclosed in a heavy duty 5-mil bubble bag.  All other merchandise is packed in an approved manner using 5-mil poly bag wrapped with a carton tray.
