Three jobs, three paymasters
A store sends us three kinds of work that look identical on the bench. A scuffed floor model, which the store pays for. A piece damaged in transit, which the carrier or a claim pays for. And warranty work, which the manufacturer pays for. The repair can be the same in all three cases; the documentation is not, and deciding the payer afterwards is how a twenty-minute job becomes a three-week invoice dispute. So the first question on any store job is not what is wrong with it. It is who is paying.
Showroom, delivery and after-sale
Furniture repair for furniture stores NJ retailers send us tends to arrive in these four shapes, and each one has a different person reading the invoice.
A floor model is not a customer’s sofa
The honest version: a showroom piece has to survive being looked at and sat on by browsers. A customer’s delivered sofa has to survive a decade. Those are different jobs and should not cost the same.
Floor model standard
Cosmetic, fastScuffs and colour, because that is what a browser sees.
Good enough to sellThe piece has to photograph and present, not last ten years.
Customer standard
Matched properlyA delivered piece is compared with the one they chose in store.
Structure as wellFoam and frame, not only the surface, because they will sit on it.
Payer, photographs, repair, invoice
Say who is paying
Store, carrier or manufacturer. This decides the paperwork.
Photograph on arrival
Especially for transit damage, where the date is the claim.
Repaired to the right standard
Showroom or customer. We will ask which.
Invoiced to the right party
With whatever reference that party needs on it.
Stores, carriers and insurers
When the carrier is the payer, the documentation discipline is on the movers page. When a claim is involved and somebody needs a restorability opinion rather than a price, that is the insurers page. The repairs themselves are leather repair and wood repair.
Furniture Repair for Furniture Stores NJ FAQ
What retailers ask about trade repair.
Can you bill the manufacturer directly?
Yes, on warranty work, using their process. Furniture repair for furniture stores NJ retailers send us goes wrong most often because the payer was decided after the job rather than before it.
Do you work on the showroom floor?
Yes, usually out of trading hours, and nothing has to leave the building.
Is a floor model repaired to the same standard as a customer piece?
No, and it should not cost the same. A floor model has to present; a delivered piece has to last. We will ask which you want.
Can you assess a warranty claim before we commit?
Yes. An assessment with photographs, including when the honest answer is that it is not a warranty matter.
What about transit damage found at delivery?
Photograph it that day and send it. The date of the record is what decides who carries the loss.
