Why Are There So Few Prices On Our Website?

We get this one a lot and its a very fair question. There are 2 reasons why we do not have many prices on our website: (1) Our website is not set up with a "Shopping Cart" system (yet), so its better to look at our website as an all inclusive, easy to access "catalog" of many of the products we have to offer.

(2) Keeping up with pricing on 9,000 products on our website can be a huge task. Currently, we have one hard working and red-eyed guy we keep locked up in our warehouse basement trying to stay on top of managing many of the various aspects of the website (of course we jest with the basement part...we don't keep it locked ;). Our other challenge is manufacturers regularly change their price for us and being able to stay on those kinds of changes are simply beyond our capabilities...for now. All that to say, we are looking into ways to improve this and eventually get to the place of providing the prices on a much larger scale. We appreciate you and your patience with our web-challenges. :) Remember, always feel free to email us for prices or call us on pricing on or ordering/price quote direct line @ 608.520.0310.

How Does Delivery Work?

A-1 Furniture uses a contract service to do all deliveries. Delivery times vary from day to day (depending on in-town, out-of-town, what side of town, etc.). The delivery service will call the evening before your delivery date to give you a two hour window time as to when your delivery will be made the following day. (kindly verify delivery date and address at this time). Be assured, the delivery team is very good at staying in the 2 hour window.

ONCE ESTABLISHED, THE 2 HOUR WINDOW CANNOT BE CHANGED! Generally calls for delivery on Tuesday through Saturday are made approximately between 8:00-10:00p.m. and calls for delivery on Monday are made on Sunday approximately between 4:00-6:00p.m. If you will not be available the evening before to receive your time, please call the store the morning of your delivery (between 9:30-10:00 a.m.)
IN THE EVENT NO ONE IS HOME AT THE TIME OF DELIVERY, A SECOND DELIVERY FEE OF THE SAME AMOUNT WILL BE CHARGED. If more than one delivery is required for your purchase, additional deliveries would be at regular delivery rates.

What is the cost?
We have some of the most reasonable rates in Southern Wisconsin. The cost varies based on the location and the volume of furniture we are delivering. Delivery fees in the city of Madison range from $42.99 - $62.99. Areas outside of Madison vary from $52.99 - $102.99.

Warranties are provided by manufacturers, not A-1. In the event a manufacturer goes out of business any warranty becomes null and void. Lifetime warranties are in effect as long as parts are available. Labor for any warranty is only covered for 1 year (including “lifetime warranties”). Transportation to and from customer's home for warranty repair is customer's responsibility. Mattress and box spring warranties are void if items are stained or soiled. Queen mattress/box sets require a center support on frames for warranty coverage. Seams and fabric on mattress/box sets carry a 1 year warranty regardless of the structure warranty. Normal wear and tear or misuse is not covered under warranty.

Because of the variety of different products and manufacturers, please feel free to always call us on the specifics of a warranty and how we can best serve you in the situation.

CONDITIONS OF SALE:

No cash or credit card refunds on any purchase (including down payments, layaways, returns, cancelations, special orders, etc. Any request for a cancellation or return must be approved by one of the store owners. A minimum fee of $100 or more based on store owner’s discretion will be charged for any cancellation or return and store credit issued for the remaining balance. However, in the case of a special order (items ordered that are placed that are shipped into A1) or a layaway the fee will be all money paid down, regardless, of reason for cancellation/return, i.e. too large, changed mind, didn’t like etc.
