What is your return policy?
First let’s cover returns due to damage. It is VERY important that you inspect your shipment as it is being delivered to you. If you see exterior carton damage, open the cartons and inspect the product immediately. If you see visible damage, sign "damaged", refuse on site and have it returned by the driver. Call Tom Sexton & Associates immediately, so that we may arrange for replacements. If the carton looks fine, but after you open it you find damage (aka concealed damage) it is best if the driver is still there so you can sign "damaged", refuse on site and have it returned. However, if upon delivery you are unable to inspect the product upon delivery (try not to do this) and you open the carton later and find damage, then you will need to contact us right away. We are only given 7 calendar days to report damage. If it is past the 7 calendar days, we will contact the manufacturer and handle the return/damage according to their policies. There is a 25% restock charge for return of special ordered products.
Doesn't everything ship via UPS of FedEx?
Shipping can be confusing, so let′s try to narrow this down for you. UPS Ground and Fedex Ground are small package carriers. They have preset calculations for both cube size and weight that determines if it ships via small package or freight carrier. For example, a 4′ by 8′ marker board may weigh only about 85 lbs. which is within the small package weight limit. However, due to the size/length of the carton, it is required to ship via freight carrier. Small package carriers will bring your delivery to your door, whereas a freight delivery means that a semi-truck makes the delivery and it is best when delivered to a loading dock. This is called dock to dock (aka tailgate) delivery. If you do not have a loading dock we are happy to provide assistance such as lift gate and inside delivery. These are called accessorials and there is an additional cost associated with these services. Please let our sales team know if you need these services.
Do you offer installation services?
We do offer installation services if you are located in Ohio, Kentucky or West Virginia & Western Pennsylvania. We have outside sales representatives that will assist you with a purchase that includes installation. Please contact us to get your representative’s name and contact information.
Do you rent furniture or equipment?
No, we do not rent furniture or equipment.
What type of payments do you accept?

How much is shipping and handling?
We ship from our main warehouse in Walton, Kentucky and also direct from the manufacturers that have stock warehouses in several regions of the United States. There are many variables to shipping rates including location, fuel rates that change daily, weight, volume, and additional services such as a liftgate, just to name a few. We want to provide you with an accurate and stable shipping rate, therefore we ask that you contact our experienced customer service team to assess your needs and get the lowest shipping rate possible.
