Thank you for shopping in our online store. Most of our furniture is in stock or available for shipment in a few short days. Please allow up to two weeks for delivery of stock orders depending on how far your order must travel to reach you. Most orders arrive within one week.

Hawaii, Alaska, Puerto Rico and international customers are welcome to contact us for a freight quotation. APO/FPO orders subject to acceptance and USPS weight/size limits. Free shipping includes transport to your address only.

Items identified as "truck shipments" include loading dock / tailgate delivery only and address must be accessible to a full-size semi trailer. Freight companies are not required to transport freight off their trucks and into buildings or homes. Read MoreInside delivery, island delivery, re-delivery, storage charges for shipments that a customer is not ready to accept, etc. are extra for truck shipments. Please contact us for a quotation if you require those services. UPS, FedEx, and freight companies do not deliver on weekends or evenings. Residential customers: You must be home to sign for truck shipments. If you are unable to be home the day of delivery, then pick-up at the carrier's local terminal may be necessary. Appointment deliveries or time window deliveries are usually not available. Freight carriers require you to be available Monday through Friday during business hours, throughout the day. Some UPS/FedEx shipments are partially disassembled to reach carrier carton size limits. Larger quantities of smaller items such as chairs are often shipped via truck instead of UPS/FedEx.
Please note that, like any retailer or distributor shipping nationwide, Modern Office ships via national and regional parcel, freight and moving companies. Modern Office will not accept returns or cancellations due to delays in delivery by transportation companies. Although we use the largest and most well-known carriers, we are not responsible for delays in transit, freight company employee conduct, missed delivery appointments or damages to the customer's premises. Cancellations after shipment are not accepted. Please be sure to note any damage or shortage on the delivery receipt before signing for a shipment. Remember, title of goods passes to the purchaser when a shipment is accepted for transportation by the carrier. When you sign for a truck shipment, you are indicating that all cartons shown on the receipt are present and in good condition. If this is not true, be sure to note the discrepancy and have the driver initial it. For large items or items shipped assembled, open all cartons IMMEDIATELY while the driver is present. Do not discard the cartons until you know the contents are in good condition. Please report the damage to us immediately if the item is an assembled piece or if the damage involves a large part or one that can't be replaced. We are unable to provide large parts or replacements free of charge if the damage has not been noted by you or the driver on the delivery receipt at the time of delivery. There is no recourse with the freight carrier for damage that is found the next day or later. Damage to the underside or unviewable area of a piece of furniture is not considered significant and is not covered by carrier insurance.
All non-custom items carry a 30 day return period, with exception of sneeze guards/barriers, which are not returnable due to risk of contamination. Please contact us before returning your order so that we can provide a return address and return authorization number. Unauthorized returns are not accepted. Items must be returned in their original cartons and packaging in new / unassembled condition; the customer must carton and prepare the shipment no matter the reason for the return. The customer is responsible for return shipping only and must make their own arrangements for return shipment. The customer is responsible for the cost of return shipping for orders canceled while in transit. Extra services requested for the original shipment such as inside delivery, expedited or guaranteed delivery are not refundable. Returned orders of over $2000 are subject to a 25% re-stocking fee. Defective items and parts reported within the 30 day return period will be replaced or repaired by the manufacturer at their discretion. Since defective items are replaced/repaired, the customer may not refuse to pay return freight charges. All product warranties are by the manufacturer. Custom-made items (and items made in special colors, sizes, or configurations not offered on our site) are not returnable or cancelable. Items purchased for resale are not returnable.
