Q: Do you have coupons or special offers?
A: Our online prices are the lowest allowable by our valued manufacturers, so in many cases, we are unable to offer further discounts (see our Carolina Rustica Price Match Guarantee. However, we do have ongoing coupons available for select manufacturers that do not have pricing restrictions, or for our own Iron Artistica line. These can be found on many of the most popular coupon sites on the internet. Also, if you sign up for our newsletter, we have specials available to newsletter subscribers only (click here to subscribe). Lastly, look in our Clearance Section for the absolute best deals possible on discontinued items or cancelled orders!
Q: Why do I have to call or email for prices?
A: Carolina Rustica is committed to our suppliers and we respect their marketing policies. The internet has changed the dynamics of furniture shopping, and many high-end manufacturers do not want prices shown to minimize the disruption to their valued dealer networks. As a stocking dealer as well as an online retailer, we appreciate the value these policies have in keeping a "level playing field" among all dealers. Please note that we can respond to email requests for pricing if you leave us your telephone contact information. We are unable to respond to quote requests in writing, due to these same manufacturer restrictions.

Some of these outstanding partners are John Boos, Hubbardton Forge, Wesley Allen, and Palecek.

Q: What are Lead Times all about?
A: Lead times are the estimated time it takes from when you place your order to the time it gets delivered to the customer. These are our best estimations based on what the manufacturer tells us it will be, plus the time it takes for us to process the order and the manufacturer to process the order and ship it. Delivery times can also vary depending on the shipper, time of year and weather conditions to and from the shipping areas. We strive to place accurate lead times on our site in each of the product details. Again, these our the best estimations based on the information we have on hand.

Q: What about site security? How will you protect my information?

We DO NOT sell, lease, or make available to third parties your personal information. This information is kept internally, although we may use it to send occasional newsletters or special offers. You can very easily opt out of these infrequent emails if you wish. Please see our Privacy Statement for more information. When you transmit your information to us via the internet, it is via an encrypted server on the last page where your card information is actually input.

We use a 128-bit encrypted server with an SSL certificate (your guarantee of safe shopping) issued by Verisign, the leader in SSL Certification
We also physically protect your information from being misused. We are a small company of ten employees, all carefully screened before employment. Customer information is kept in locked files with limited accessibility, and our office is fully alarmed. Customer card information is destroyed in a shredder when we have processed your transaction. We are probably more secure than many other business who collect such information.
Q: There is a supplier (or product) I am interested in but I don't see it on your site. Can you still get it for me?
A: Some of our best suppliers were recommended to us by our customers! So yes, most likely we can get the product you are looking for. With our national distribution and growing business, we are increasingly able to negotiate with non-regular suppliers to get the product you want. At a minimum, we will try to help you find it elsewhere if we cannot get it for you. If you are looking for a product from an existing supplier on our site, and cannot find it, please inquire by calling 800-205-7819. It may be discontinued or it may be a new product we have not put on our site yet.

Q: Why does it take so long to get my furniture?
A: While we do keep a good inventory of items in our retail store, it is impossible to predict who will order what. This means that in many cases, your order will have to be hand-forged by the blacksmith just for you! We quote lead times of 4 to 6 weeks because there are many steps involved in getting the product to you before and after its made. However, your order may actually be shipped earlier than our quoted lead times. We will always let you know when it ships.

Q: I see that you accept all major credit cards, but what if I want to pay by check?
A: No problem! After you place your order, just mail us a check for the full amount of your balance within 3 days of placing your order. Your check will clear before the furniture is shipped out. Personal checks are okay.

Q. What if I realize that I want inside delivery of my order?
A: It is extremely important that customers understand we charge very very low freight because 1. we absorb much of the freight costs ourselves, and 2. we have contract with our carriers for "curbside delivery" only. If you want enhanced service such as inside delivery, you have two options. If your order has not shipped, you can contact us beforehand and we will give you a quote on the enhanced service. Typically, for inside deliveries, a $50 surcharge applies. If your order has already shipped, you will have to work with the trucking company directly, as you will be paying the driver when he arrives. We will always give you all the necessary contact information for the trucking company beforehand.

A: Absolutely, but you need to provide us with proper documentation. Please call us at 800-205-7819 for more information.
Q: What if I want actual samples of the iron or wood finish?
A: We get hundreds of requests for finish samples for customers who would like to "touch and feel" before they make their purchase. Unfortunately, it is not possible for us to mail out actual physical samples to all those who desire them. In many cases, our suppliers simply do not make samples, as the digital photography they use is very accurate. We want to make sure our customers make the right choices, and will do everything we can to provide you with descriptions to help make that process easier. In limited situations, we can mail out samples, but the varies with suppliers and availability. You must have already placed an order to receive a sample.

Q. What if I decide I don't want the product when I receive it?
A: We highly recommend that if you have doubts about your order, you cancel it before it is shipped. Otherwise, if you refuse the shipment when it arrives, you will be responsible for all shipping costs and a possible restocking fee. We will refund you the product cost less these charges. Please see our Customer Service section on Returns and Cancellations for more information.

Q. My order was declined. Why?
A: There are two possibilities. The first is that there is a mismatch between your actual billing address and what you have input into the order form. This is known as an AVS mismatch. An AVS mismatch can also occur if the CVV code (the three or four digit number on your card that is not part of the actual credit card number) is not input accurately.

An AVS mismatch can also occur if the CVV code (the three or four digit number on your card that is not part of the actual credit card number) is not input accurately.
It is important to understand that in the event of an AVS mismatch, your credit card may still be authorized for the purchase amount. An authorization is NOT a purchase. No funds have been charged to your card, but rather, the those funds has been temporarily made unavailable. This funding hold will be removed after five (5) to seven (7) days. This is the issuing bank (your credit card issuer) policy to first authorize then funding hold and then verify address information with our payment processor, Authorize.net. If your purchase transaction has not been successful due to an AVS mismatch, we can release this funding hold by calling your issuing bank, but you will need to provide us with complete contact information.
The second reason for a declined order is unavailable funds. Your purchase may exceed your card-issuing banks credit limit. In the case of debit cards, you may have a daily spending limitation imposed by your issuing bank.
Q: I live close to your Concord, NC store but don't have a truck to take my purchase home with me. Do you provide local delivery?
A: YES, we do have the ability to deliver items to our local North Carolina customers.
