Delivery Day

Carrier will call you 24-48 hours prior to delivery to arrange a delivery time that will vary depending on the freight carrier's schedule. Carriers are only able to deliver Monday-Friday during normal business hours, and they will give you a 4-hour delivery window.

Small items (such as a lamp, a pillow, or a throw) are sent by courier. These will be delivered as soon as possible, and the courier will not call ahead in advance to schedule delivery. Courier deliveries do not require a signature upon delivery and your package will be left on your doorstep if you are not available to receive it.

Storage Fees: Daily storage fees may also apply if you do not accept the delivery within 5 business days of the freight carrier’s first attempt to schedule delivery. If you missed the phone call from the freight carrier, then contact the freight carrier back as soon as possible. After 5 business days, the freight carrier may store your item and you may be charged storage fees.

 

Please make sure not to miss your delivery appointment; you may incur additional delivery fees such as re-delivery, storage charges, and/or return shipping costs.

 

Delivery Service With No Signature

 

*For delivery services that do not require a signature, you will receive an automated call from the carrier 24-28 hours prior to the delivery to advise of the delivery date. The delivery will be made on the date provided by the carrier between the hours of 7:00 am and 6:00 pm.

 

If the delivery address is a multi-dwelling residence, then you must be present for the delivery even if you selected a delivery service that does not require a signature. Please note if you are not available, a delivery attempt will not be made and redelivery/return fees may apply.

Additional Delivery Fees

Please be aware of the following additional fees that may apply to your delivery.

Time Definite Fee: This fee may apply if you request a specific delivery time outside of the freight carrier's normal business hours (usually 9 am – 5 pm). The fee can range from $35- $150 or more depending on your location and request. Because the freight carrier determines available delivery times, certain days and times are not available in all areas.

Stair Carry/Extra Labor Fee: If your item is carried inside your residence, unpacked, or carried up any flights of stairs by the carrier, this fee may apply. The carrier may also charge additional fees if steep uphill or downhill slopes leading to the entryway of your residence or business. These fees vary and can exceed $100.

Deliveries to Apartments: The carrier will take the item to the building's loading dock or the nearest ground-level entry. Depending on the building's design, the carrier may leave some deliveries at the main office.

For deliveries to a multi-dwelling above the first floor, we recommend upgrading to Room of Choice at checkout. If this option is not available, then contact tribesigns.com at US 1-888-588-3108(Mon-Sun 9:00-17:00 PST) to inquire about available delivery options and the fees associated with these options.

 

Bill of Lading/Delivery Receipt

At the time of delivery, the carrier will provide you with a delivery receipt and/or a Bill of Lading. This is your record of shipment, and agreement of the delivery and condition of your item.

Thoroughly inspect your shipment at the time of delivery and before you sign for the shipment. It is very important that you inspect the shipment to ensure the item is not damaged.

DO NOT SIGN the Bill of Lading until you have inspected the item. Also, please do NOT wait to inspect the item (e.g. you are storing your furniture or you are waiting on the completion of a home improvement project).

For Outside Home Delivery Service without Signature, the carrier will leave a copy of your delivery receipt at your residence.

 

What if Damage

For Delivery Services That Do Not Require A Signature. Please inspect the item right away for any damages. If some damage is found, please contact Littletree within 24 hours of delivery.
