FAQ'S
 

Do you sell cushion sets for the rockers?

Yes, we do! We have custom-made one piece sets (seat cushion only) and two piece sets (seat and back) which are specially made for us with Sunbrella® fabrics and are made to fit perfectly on rockers manufactured by the P & P Chair Company. Read more information here. The four piece sets (with arm cushions) are not currently available but may be in the future if the demand is there. Please contact us if you have interest in the four piece sets. Cushion sets take 4 to 6 weeks for delivery because they are custom made for you. If you have any questions about your order feel free to , or call us at
1-877-886-0992. We have Sunbrella swatch cards available upon request.

Kaufmann and more, in neutral colors, chintz, small prints, matelasse, and chenilles. Also we have sets in stock made especially for babies rooms in pinks, yellows, and soft shades of blue that look absolutely great on our white rockers. Fabrics vary and quantities are limited.

Do you sell replacement cane parts for the rockers?

Yes, we do. Although the cane should last for a long time, if something should happen to yours it's a simple matter to replace the cane seat. Click here for instructions on replacing the seat.

Replacement cane backs are also available but we recommend professional help with installing it because the chair will need to be taken apart and put back together. Although we can supply the part, professional help will probably be required to replace it and we do not guarantee the results. There is no glue used but there are pins that hold the joints together.

Is this Kennedy rocker the authentic rocker from P & P Chair Company?

Yes. Although the rocker is now manufactured and partially assembled in Indonesia, they are still made from solid US Red Oak and final assembly is still done at the P & P Chair Company plant in Asheboro, North Carolina. The cane seats have come from Indonesia for almost three decades.

What if my order arrives damaged?

The packaging of our products assures that your order will arrive in perfect condition 99.9% of the time. However, if you notice on delivery that the box is damaged please make an immediate note on the delivery receipt when you sign for the delivery from UPS or FedEx. If the box appears damaged to such an extent that the merchandise inside may be damaged, refuse delivery and call our Customer Service department at 877-886-0992. Please inspect your rockers immediately upon arrival. Do not throw away the box or any packing materials until you have inspected your order and are satisfied that it is undamaged. If you find damage to your order once you open the box we require a picture of the damage in order to have the damaged item replaced or repaired at the manufacturers discretion. In either case you must notify us of the damage within 5 days of receiving your order.

For rocker orders: The rockers are shipped FedEx Freight on large trucks due to the size of the cartons. As with all furniture shipping there is the possibility of freight damage no matter how well the furniture is packed. It is VERY important that you carefully inspect the box(es) when your rockers arrive. If any damage at all is apparent on the outside of the box please make a note of it on the shipping receipt BEFORE you sign it. Do NOT let the driver try to hurry you along, and do NOT let the driver give you contrary instructions. Do not throw away the box or any packing materials until you have inspected your order and are satisfied that it is undamaged. Our ability to file a freight claim on your behalf is affected by what you do when the rockers are delivered. If you have noted damage on the box in writing on the shipping receipt and you then find that the rockers inside are damaged a digital image of the box and the damaged rocker is extremely helpful.

What types of credit cards do you take?

We accept MasterCard, Visa, American Express and Discover.

What if I don't feel comfortable making a credit card purchase online?

No problem, if you prefer to use a personal check please call 1-877-886-0992 to place your order by telephone. Customer Service is open 9:00 to 6:00 EST, Monday through Saturday. Shipment of your order will be delayed until your check clears so receiving your order will take additional time.

What about shipping?

Our prices include free residential or commercial shipping via UPS or FedEx to 99% of addresses in the continental United States. The shipping carrier will call to set up an appointment for delivery and a signature is required. Rockers are shipped via FedEx Freight on large trucks due to the oversize shipping cartons so please advise us of any shipping considerations to your location in the Additional Information box on the checkout page. If your address incurs additional freight or delivery charges above our allowed charges for free shipping we will notify you before placing your order with the manufacturer.

Please note: Some shipping addresses in the US incur a substantial shipping surcharge due to their location such as when a ferry would be required for delivery, or the rockers are to be delivered to an address in a major metropolitan city such as Washington DC, Chicago, Los Angeles, or New York. If your address is one that would incur such a surcharge and where we would suffer a loss over and above the sales price we will notify you and you can either agree to pay the extra shipping charges, agree to an alternate shipping address, or cancel your order and receive a refund of your purchase price.

Do you ship internationally?

No, we do not but we will assist you in making arrangements. Shipping to Alaska, Hawaii and international destinations may be able to be arranged by you through American Baggage. This shipping company is located in Methuen, Massachusetts and their toll-free number is 800-752-6773 (or 978-975-0142 from outside the US). Our experience with this company has been good and the rates are very reasonable. We can ship your rockers to the departure US shipping port with the required packing slips and documentation. You will be responsible for making the shipping arrangements (including insurance coverage) with the shipping company directly and for any import taxes or duties in your destination country. We can only warrant that the rockers are free from defects until they are delivered to the departure port so the optional insurance coverage during shipment is highly recommended and well worth the extra 3.3% of declared value.

How long will my order take?

You will receive an e-mail confirmation of your order immediately upon receipt of your payment. The rockers are shipped directly from the manufacturer. Most orders take one to two weeks to ship. Occasionally during the busy spring and summer seasons certain styles or finishes may be temporarily oversold and shipping may take a little longer, we will make every attempt to keep you informed when we are updated by the factory about inventory. Shipping transit time is an additional 2 to 7 days depending on your address. Once the items have shipped we will usually e-mail you with a tracking number so that you will be available at the shipping address for delivery. Cushion sets take 3 to 4 weeks for delivery because they are custom made for you. If you have any questions about your order feel free to , or call us at 1-877-886-0992.

What about returns?

If you are not satisfied with your purchase you must notify us within 5 business days of receipt and we will refund your money as long as you return the item in the original packing and in original condition, within 30 days of receiving your order. Chairs must be returned to us in like new saleable condition to avoid a restocking fee of $50 per chair. Return shipping charges are your responsibility. Our products are offered with included shipping, so please note if you return a product our actual outbound shipping cost will be deducted from your return refund.
