If you would like to have us ship your purchase we prefer ship to a business address This must be a REAL business address and cannot be a business out of a house.  The reason for this is because shipping companies charge a higher rate to ship to a residential address.  I recommend you have your purchase shipped to your work or a local business you know or trust.  To obtain a shipping quote, please e-mail the business address to questions@williamtellantiques.com 

      All shipments are shipped through a local company.  We are not responsible for loss or damages in transit; such claims should be filed with the carrier.   Check each shipment carefully while it is being received so that any damage or shortage can be properly noted on freight bill by the delivering agent. If item is badly damaged and cannot be repaired, you should make a notation on the freight bill "Damaged, Worthless", and a claim filed with carrier for full purchase value. 
                                               
       All items are packed with high quality packing materials for the maximum protection.  If receiving a large item ie. hutch your item will arrive boxed on a pallet stretched wrapped.  If receiving two chairs then chairs will be received two per box.  A good rough guess on shipping 2 chairs (mates chairs, without arms) is around $110.00 total. TO A BUSINESS LOCATION!
