Shipping & Handling
Accessories
Almost all accessories are shipped UPS unless otherwise specified. All accessories are hand-made. Any one item may not always be in stock. We will advise you of lead-times, if any, when you order.
Furniture
Lead time: Most furniture will be built to order for you. Our craftsmen typically work within a 12-16 week time frame. Sometimes, highly custom pieces can take longer. We will do our best to give you an accurate timing range when you place the order.
Deposit: We ask for a deposit of 50% of the purchase price when you place a furniture order. The balance plus shipping and tax are due upon delivery.
Shipping: Our furniture is shipped with the same care with which it is built. Most of our furniture is “blanket wrapped” shipped by small, specialized movers who pay close attention to how the furniture is handled. They will call you in advance to set a delivery time that is convenient for you. We do request some flexibility on specific delivery times for non-Chicago area orders. The mover will install the piece in the desired location; complete any required assembly (such as setting up a bed with your mattress and box spring), and remove any packing material.
Shipping Charges: Shipping charges vary depending on the size of the piece and your location. We try to keep charges as low as possible while still providing the level of service and care you expect and the furniture deserves. We will be happy to estimate specific shipping charges for you. As a “rule of thumb”, you can plan on 10-15% of the price. These fees cover our cost only and do not earn a profit for Sawbridge Studios.
Special Situations: We ask our clients to pay particular attention to the “path” a piece must take in their house to reach its final destination. Doorway clearances, tight corners, narrow hallways, and staircases can sometimes be a problem. Unfortunately, we cannot be responsible for extra delivery charges incurred to address such issues, nor can we provide a refund if a piece cannot be delivered because it will not fit. In the Chicago area, for a small charge, we can provide a measuring service ahead of time to prevent issues later.
Shipping Damage: Despite extreme care, damage to furniture can sometimes occur in shipping. We ask our clients to carefully inspect each piece. Damage should be noted on the bill of lading before signing or you may refuse to accept the piece. In either case, contact us and we will take steps to address the situation as quickly as possible. We want to make it right. Damage noted after delivery is much more difficult to address.
Most furniture will be built to order for you. Our craftsmen typically work within a 16-week time frame. Sometimes, highly custom pieces can take longer. We will do our best to give you an accurate timing range when you place the order. We ask for a deposit of 50% of the purchase price, shipping, and tax when you place the order. The remainder is due upon delivery.
Errors and Omissions
Every effort is made to keep our website up-to-date and accurate. However, sometimes errors can occur. We will advise you of any errors in pricing at the time of the order before we process the order. Details of all furniture will be provided to you for your review after you order.
Online Security
Your credit card is completely safe.
Protecting your information is our highest priority. We have developed several safeguards to keep your information completely confidential. To proceed to checkout, you must enter your e-mail address and create a password. The checkout process itself employs Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)* technology to ensure your safety.
*Secure Sockets Layer encrypts your order information and sends it to a secure server, making it impossible for that information to be decoded by a party outside of the store you shop with.
Furthermore, only our store will have your information; other members of the Modern Retail community will not have access to your information unless you decide to shop with them.
To check the security of your connection during checkout, look for the unbroken key or closed lock at the bottom of your browser window. This indicates SSL is active.
