What is the Your Best Price Guarantee?
The Online Store is a major distributor of furniture and home accessories, and we take great pride in the low prices and great values we offer our customers. We strive to ensure that our product selection, availability, reliable delivery, and outstanding customer service create a great shopping experience. We also want our customers to feel confident that The Online Store consistently offers great savings and therefore we offer our Best Price Guarantee. If you find the identical product elsewhere, within 10 days of purchase, for a lower total price (product price plus shipping and handling fee), we will match the total price or gladly refund the difference plus $1. (Sale or promotional prices are not included.)
In order to qualify for The Online Store Best Price Guarantee, your request must meet the following conditions:
Compared items MUST include the product price plus shipping & handling charges when calculating the competitor's total price.
The Online Store Best Price Guarantee requests must be submitted within ten (10) days from the date of purchase at The Online Store
Please be aware that The Online Store only sells the newest models delivered directly from the manufacturers' warehouse and we do not accept price match for re-manufactured, re-furbished or counterfeit products.
To request a Best Price Guarantee with the current order, simply provide the competitor's total price information in the comment section in the checkout page. To request the Best Price Guarantee after purchase, simply email a link to the competitors page and we will gladly honor the difference plus $1.
Are all products featured on your website in stock?
We are a store front for major furniture importers and therefore we do not hold inventory. From time to time our vendors sell out of a particular item and we do our best to inform our clients before they order that an item is out of stock. If however, after your order is placed we check with the manufacturer and find out that the item is on backorder, you will have the option to cancel your order if the time frame does not fit in with your expectations. If you have any concerns about an item being in stock we suggest that you call our toll free number 1-800-706-3111 or you send us an email BEFORE you place an order.

Is the site accurate 100% of the time?
The Online Store Inc may have prices, descriptions, and text that are not accurate because of typographical/photographic errors or changes not yet reflected in the product descriptions that appear on the site. We are not responsible for descriptive, typographical, or photographic errors. The product colors and finishes shown on our website may vary due to the scanning process and differences in color monitors. We do make every effort to insure that all products are accurately represented, but in some cases, variations may be dramatic. Completion of an order constitutes a waver of any claim due to dissatisfaction with the product colors, textures, stains and grains. You are encouraged to review samples of actual fabrics or finishes before ordering. When a manufacturer does not supply samples in advance, and you are unsure of colors and textures, The Online Store Inc advises that you try and find and then examine a fabric or product before ordering through The Online Store.
