Your web site say's free shipping please explain your free shipping offer policy?
We want to make your shopping experience on our website easy and hassle-free. Every item you order includes free shipping to most addresses in the continental U.S, with the exception of remote rural areas. However, orders shipped to Hawaii or Alaska will incur additional charges at the buyer's financial responsibility. Most of our home accessories and small pieces of furniture will be shipped free via UPS ground. Our large furniture pieces will ship free via motor freight and are subject to the freight company's rules and regulations.
Please note that our free shipping offer only includes curb-side delivery or self-service. The delivery truck will unload your shipment, but it is your responsibility to unpack and move your furniture inside your home. The driver will not help you. Our free shipping offer does not include inside delivery, delivery to buildings, delivery before or after regular working hours, delivery on weekends, or delivery to any second-floor or higher residences.
If you change your address during transit, you will be charged a reconsignment fee, paid by the customer. It is your responsibility to be present or have someone present during the delivery of your order/shipment. If you are not home at the delivery time, you will be charged a $45.00 redelivery fee.
If you live on an unpaved or small narrow road and your home is not accessible by delivery truck, you must provide a means of transportation from the delivery truck to your home or the freight company's terminal to your home. You may incur a remote delivery surcharge if your ship-to address falls outside of the geographical area normally served by our carriers or delivery addresses that are called "limited delivery areas." If this is the case, we will notify you with the additional "surcharge delivery fee" before we ship your order. If you have any questions concerning this delivery surcharge, please contact us.
What is my responsibility at the time of delivery and what if I notice my piece is damaged?
Furniture pieces are securely packed, boxed, and strapped to a pallet for delivery to your home, unless you've opted for white glove in-home delivery, in which case they will be delivered boxed, without a pallet. Before signing the delivery receipt, inspect for any obvious external damage. If you find that a package has arrived damaged (e.g., with dents, tears, crush marks, holes, etc.), immediately point out the damages to the driver and unpack the damaged piece in their presence. If the piece is damaged after unpacking, note the specific damages on the delivery receipt and refuse the damaged item. If possible, take photos of the damage and send them to us. Keep your copy of the receipt. San Carlos Imports has inspected and carefully packed the contents of your package to endure normal handling during shipment; any loss or damage in transit is the carrier's sole responsibility. Loss or damage may be evident upon arrival or may be discovered after unpacking. In such cases, immediately inform the carrier at the address on your receipt. If you receive a damaged shipment from UPS Ground delivery, report all damages to us within 3 days so we can file a claim and replace the damaged item. It's crucial to notify the delivering carrier in writing immediately and request an inspection of the damaged item. San Carlos Imports' responsibility for the goods ends once they are handed over to the carrier, and any returns must be authorized in writing. Refuse delivery of any visibly damaged merchandise. If damaged goods are refused and properly noted on the driver's delivery receipt, San Carlos Imports will file all necessary claims with the shipping company and send you a replacement item. If damages are not recorded at the time of delivery, the opportunity to claim may be forfeited.

Will I be charged sales tax if I order online or by phone?
That depends on where you want the order to be shipped. Since San Carlos Imports is based in Texas, any order shipped to a Texas address will be charged the current sales tax rate, which is .0825%.

Will the item I purchase be identical to the item on your website?
No, it is unlikely that the item you purchase will be identical to the one on our website because all of our items are handcrafted, making each one unique. We inspect every item before shipping it to you to ensure that it closely resembles what is displayed on our website, but slight variations in color, pattern, or texture may be present. If you are not satisfied with your order, please notify us. Please note that all special-order items are non-returnable and non-refundable. Rustic furniture is handmade, and imperfections may exist in appearance, texture, size, and finish. Additionally, the color shade of each piece may have slight variations due to the use of natural products applied by artisans. Normal cracking of your kiln-dried furniture adds to its unique beauty and may not be considered a reason for return. Our manufacturers may use wormwood at their discretion to further enhance the rustic appearance. If you have any questions, please contact us via our toll-free number.
Will your rustic furniture match my rustic furniture I already have?
No, our rustic furniture is unlikely to match what you already have for a couple of reasons. Firstly, rustic pine wood darkens as it ages, meaning that the new piece you purchase may be lighter than the one you already own. Secondly, there are many Mexican manufacturers of rustic pine furniture who make the same style and design using the same pine wood, but they may use different finishing or staining techniques, resulting in a lighter or darker stain than what you have. While our rustic furniture may not match what you already have, it will blend well together.
Are all your products available to ship?
Yes, all the products that we offer for sale on our website are in stock and available to ship. However, since many of our products are handcrafted, availability is subject to change at any time. If we are unable to fill your order, we will notify you immediately by email or phone. Please note that we will not bill your credit card until your order is packed and ready to ship. Although we try our best to project inventory levels on every product, demand for some products may be unpredictable, leading to potential out-of-stock situations.
