Ordering

Order Acceptance and Confirmations

Customers must review all confirmations for errors. CFC cannot guarantee accommodating your request if errors are found after an order has been processed or shipped. Orders may incur additional or unspecified fees from the carrier or other businesses affected by the error (such as storage fees charged by your receiving warehouse, etc.).

Orders can be submitted using the following methods:

• Submitting an order to the territory manager.

• Submitting a wish list using CFC’s website, which will then be directed to the territory manager. Wish lists are not automatically submitted as orders until they are acknowledged by your territory manager

Order Confirmations

Orders are confirmed by CFC only. Acknowledgements sent from the local territory manager or orders submitted through the CFC website are not an order confirmation and do not guarantee product availability, inventory or lead times.

Backorders

Backorder lead times are approximate, not guaranteed, and subject to change.

For out of stock items with units in production, lead time is estimated to be less than 8-12 weeks. Items with 0 units in production means the item will be built to order and lead time will be the full 8-12 weeks. Lead times are our best approximation based on the information we have at the time of confirming the order and we do not have exact production completion dates for items in production. We recommend including deadline dates on each PO.

Ship Complete Policy

All orders will ship complete unless otherwise requested. We do not automatically split ship orders based on stock levels.

Damages & Claims

CFC, Inc. is not responsible for freight damages. All items are carefully inspected by our staff and respective shipping company before shipping. You or your receiving agent must inspect each item upon delivery and any damages must be clearly noted on the carrier's bill of lading before the driver leaves your location. If the damage is severe and you feel that it cannot be easily fixed, please do not accept those specific pieces.

Please contact us immediately so that we can help make sure that everything is taken care of promptly and thoroughly. If damages are not noted at the time of delivery than we have no recourse with our carriers and no claims will be honored.

Knots, gouges, hairline cracks and nail holes are inherent characteristics of many of our wood products and do not constitute damage/defects; no claims will be considered for these characteristics. The majority of our products are made from reclaimed Douglas fir acquired from torn-down houses.

Claim Guidelines

The carrier is solely responsible for freight damage.

Claims will not be honored for damages not noted on the carrier POD.

If the client organizes their own carrier, the carrier accepts responsibility for all transit damage, concealed or otherwise.

  • Local territory managers are the liaison between the client and CFC. Please submit a completed claim form to your local territory manager, with accompanying photos illustrating the damage. We require 1 overall and 2 detail photos for each claimed item. Please include requested resolution as well—i.e., repair estimate, replacement needed, etc.

Repairs

All repair costs must be approved by CFC before proceeding with the work. Any unapproved repair costs will not be reimbursed.

Warranty

CFC, Inc. guarantees its product to be free from defects of workmanship. Due to environmental elements and relative humidity, wood will sometimes expand and shrink. We take great care to construct our furniture in a manner that allows the wood to shrink and expand. Under drastic temperature changes, cracks may sometimes appear; however, this is a very rare occurrence. Damage claims of this nature will be assessed on an individual basis if they are received within three months. We do not accept returns without written authorization from our office. Due to the nature of handcrafted products, dimensions, details and /or colors represented in our catalogs may vary. The antique/one of a kind product may vary significantly.
