All Other Working Days Appearing On Your Work Order Are Approximate And Are Not Part Of This Offer. All work orders due to design changes, delays caused by customer indecision, dealer non response or lack of information required to complete each order can set the number work days back to zero. In addition it also can result in other orders going ahead while we have to pull your order out of the system waiting on required information from you to be able to produce your products. These Dates Are Our Best Guess At The Time Of Ordering Assuming Best Case Scenario. Most of the time due to our experience these dates are close and some times early. We always strive to meet these dates because its in our best interest to keep each customer satisfied and on time. However please keep in mind due to hand craftsmanship the use of real woods and and fine furniture hand rubbed finishes humidity levels, climate changes and other unforeseen elements out out our control can effect these completion dates. We advise each of our dealers to notify your customer of this possibility prior to accepting a order. Further it is our policy to keep our good name blemish free. If a dealer does not make his or her customer aware of this possibility and we become the bad guy we reserve the right discontinue our relationship with such a dealer.

This Does Not Mean We Have Caviler Attitude On Being Late On A Order. We understand the inconvenience it can cause a dealer/customer during a building schedule. It is simply a ridged policy that is never compromised in our factory. The words short cut, hurry up or skip that process is not in our vocabulary. We Feel This Is A Primary Reason We Have So Many Satisfied Repeat Dealers/Customers due to the fact all of our products stand on their own merits. Products standing on their integrity has been a family tradition since our founders insisted on this policy in 1913. No Fast Mass Production Manufacturer Can Claim This Honor Usually Because Their Focus Is On Profit And Not Your Best Interest. Keep In Mind When You Order Fine Art Furnishings The Focus Is On The Quality Of The Product And Your Best Interest - Not A Fast Profit Focussing On Speed And Short Cuts.
Phone And E Mail Policy - Our People Are Not Salesman And We Do Not Sell Retail - All Of Our Office Personal Is Focused On Production And Correct Information In Order To Produce Each Fine Art Product To Required Specifications - Each Person Is Instructed Only To Communicate WitH A Dealer/Customer Only When It Is Necessary In The Production Process.
This Usually Means Calls Or Emails On Drawing Approvals, Finish Information, Fabric Choices Etc. (note if we do not receive this information in a timely manor your product might be pulled from the production schedule until we receive this vital information) it is the dealers responsibility to respond to these request in a timely manor - No In Process Calls Are To Be Initiated By Any Of Our Production Personal - This Allows Total Focus On Proper Production - The Final Call You Will Receive Is From Our Shipping Department Usually Prior To Arranging Shipping Of Your Completed Products.

Dealer Notice; We Only Arrange For Your Freight On Your Behalf As A Free Service. We Do Not Choose Nor Warrantee The Shipping Company. The Trucking Company You Choose Is Working Directly For You. This is a free service and only available to dealers/customers that appreciate our efforts. We do not set delivery times, rates, or own any trucks. When you accept a freight quote you are given all of the contact information directly with your shipper. It is your responsibly to verify this information directly. Once your freight is loaded upon your chosen truck we have no further control over eta times etc.
Our Responsibility For Freight Ends At The Shippers Tail Gate On Our Dock. Your trucking company is inspecting each item and signing on your behalf that each item being accepted by the freight company is in perfect condition and free of damage. (they are not signing that it is the item you ordered). From this point on your shipper and shippers insurance company is fully responsible to deliver your product in perfect condition. In the rawer instance is found that freight damage has occurred. It is your responsibility to file with your shipper at the time of delivery a freight damage claim. Note: If You Feel The Freight Prices We Have Acquired Can Be Negotiated Further It Is Your Responsibility To Negotiate Directly With Your Chosen Company. We are only the manufacturer and not in the freight business nor do we make any profits from freight.

If you feel you can do better it is your right to do so directly or send your own qualified truck. Freight times freight rates have no bering on your purchase contract with us.
Our Shipping Truck Has Changed, However Our Policy Remains The Same.
Over The Years We Have Arranged Delivery With Many Freight Companies Worldwide. It has been our experience that the cheapest is not always the best. We could mark up our products to include the freight like most other furniture manufacturers do, however we feel this would be unfair to our customers because of the various geographic locations. By waiting for your furniture to be ready for pick up, we are able to get you the best price. Sometimes, Depending Upon The Routing Schedule, The Same Trucking Company Can Quote As Much As 50% less than a price received prior to the items arriving on our freight dock to ship. Many trucking companies' delivery prices are much less if they are already bringing items close to your area. It is our intention to only make available companies that we have had good experiences with in the past. however this does not mean we are taking any responsibility for any recommended trucking companies performance or pricing. Scottsdale Art Factory L.L.C. Does Not Accept Any Responsibility For Freight Damage, Freight Companies' Services Or Rate Quotes. This means the freight company you choose is working directly for you. Our freight responsibility ends when you or your trucking company signs for the freight pickup. These companies are certifying, by receipt of pickup, that your furnishings left our dock in perfect condition. In the rare instance your freight becomes damaged, it is your responsibility to claim the freight damage. All freight is fully insured through your trucking company. We do not accept dealers in their own vehicle or consumer will calls due to insurance reasons. All will calls must be by properly licensed and bonded moving or freight companies. S.A.F. Reserves The Right To Refuse This Free Service With Out Consequence If We Deem Unreasonable Requests Are Being Required By Any Dealer Or Consumer.This includes but is not limited to asking for more than two freight prices on any particular order. Being argumentative to our freight personal or going beyond the scope of the intended purpose of this free service.
