Two delivery professionals will deliver, place items in your home, and assemble them (when applicable). Items are unwrapped and inspected. A two-hour delivery window will be provided the day before delivery. Due to the volume of deliveries, Gustafson’s cannot accommodate for morning, afternoon or a particular time window. All items must be paid in full before delivery may be scheduled.
- Your merchandise must be delivered within 30 days of your order(s) being available/in stock.
- Orders may be rescheduled once if your merchandise has not been loaded for delivery without a fee. Cancellations or changes to you delivery appointment must be made 36 hours prior to delivery.

The new sales order written for your reselection will include your newly selected merchandise and a delivery charge.
- If you cancel/reschedule an order less than 36 hours before the day of delivery, you will forfeit your delivery charge and be required to pay an additional full handling fee.

Gustafson’s cannot be held responsible for delays in transportation, fabric shortages, production or other acts that may result in a delay of a Customer’s order. Failure to deliver merchandise by the estimated delivery date will not give the Customer the right to cancel the order without a 30% restocking fee.

- Drivers will not move, setup, disconnect electronic devices including but not limited to TV sets, audio equipment, speakers, and cable boxes.

Service Policy
To assist our customers with all service claims, please call (888) 449-0186 and a representative will assist you.
We service all products (excluding accessories, clearance and As-Is items) for one year against manufacturers’ defects. After the one year warranty, we will assist you in obtaining parts from the manufacturer.
- We only service in our delivery areas.
- Relocated Furniture: Damage that may have occurred due to improper handling of the merchandise by moving it, will void Gustafson's one year warranty.
- Extended Warranties: Gustafson’s strictly adheres to manufacturers’ warranties. Extended manufacturers’ warranties that exceed one year will be subject to transportation, labor and service fees.
- Manufacturer Defects: Product warranties vary by manufacturer. Gustafson’s will help facilitate service based on the terms and conditions of the manufacturer’s warranty. Gustafson’s will provide service at no charge for the first 90 days after purchase in your home. After 90 days of the product being in your home, inspection fees, delivery fees, and technician labor costs may apply.
- Outside Manufacturers’ Warranty: Gustafson’s will provide a technician referral in your area.
- Upholstery/Area Rugs: Dye lots and swatches seen at the store may differ slightly from actual dye lots on delivered manufacturers’ products. Gustafson’s is not responsible for any of these dye lot variances. Upholstered fabrics are warranted against defective material or workmanship for one year from the date of purchase under normal care and use. This warranty does not cover fading, pilling or shrinkage and is not valid where there is evidence of heavy soiling or abuse. Fabric damage or fabric failure due to improper cleaning or animal use is also excluded from the warranty. Consult your protection plan for proper cleaning instructions. The fabric warranty will not be honored if any evidence of animal use is found.
- Leather is a natural material and surface marks and variances in color show that the leather is genuine top grain. Gustafson’s cannot be responsible for these natural variances in leather.
- Accessories: Carefully inspect all pictures, lamps, accessories and area rugs before you take them with you. Accessory items are not serviced.
- Deferred Billing Plan: During service, your billing plan remains in effect. Your original promotion period deadline does not change. Monthly payments must be made during service/exchanges on deferred billing plans to avoid late charges or interest.
Return and Refund Policy

Special Order Merchandise
Having a one of a kind item made for you can make your room special and unique, and we are glad to assist you in beautifying your home. Below are some important things you need to know about your special order.
A special order is:
- An item not displayed on the floor.
- An item not stocked in our warehouse.

Our 7 Day Return Policy does not apply to special orders. However, factory warranties and Gustafson's one-year service policies do apply. A 30% fee will apply to all returned or cancelled special order merchandise – no exceptions.
You have 2 days to cancel your special order from the time you place your order in our store. However, after this 2 day cancellation window, the 30% deposit is neither refundable nor transferable. After delivery or pickup of the merchandise, special order merchandise is non-returnable.
If your merchandise does not fit in your room (down the hallway, up the stairs, etc.) it cannot be returned since our manufacturers will not allow returns. Do not special order if you feel this may be a problem. Please take accurate measurements before ordering.
Dye lots on fabric samples may differ in shade from those actually delivered by the manufacturer. Gustafson’s is not responsible for any dye lot differences.
If an item arrives damaged, our extensively trained, skilled craftsmen can restore the piece(s) to original condition. Furniture manufacturers, like auto and computer manufacturers, repair/replace component parts and do not replace the entire item.
