Never heard of Kodiak Furniture???
Read on:
World Salvage was founded in 1986 when Greg Meitz  opened a furniture retail location in Minneapolis, Minnesota. In 1989  his son Patrick converted the retail business into a furniture wholesale business called Minneapolis Furniture.
Patrick's brother David joined the wholesale business in 1992.  Shortly after David's arrival, the company began manufacturing  mattresses, box springs, and futon mattresses.
In 1997 Minneapolis Furniture changed their business name to  Kodiak Furniture, which reflected the rustic nature of many of their  products. Today Kodiak Furniture continues manufacturing mattresses, as  well as futon mattresses. In addition to mattress production, Kodiak  acts as an import broker for futon frames and other similar specialty  sleep products.
Feedback
Buyer feedback is very important to you...my  potential clients...and I know that feedback I give as a seller is equally  important.  Many sellers won't give out feedback until it is received from the  buyer; they are effectively holding the buyer hostage to get good feedback.   These sellers are easy to spot in variety of ways.  One, the number of items on  which they've given feedback is very close to the number on which they've  received feedback.  Two, if you look at the dates of buyer and seller feedback  on individual purchases, the feedback that the seller gives is never earlier  than that of the buyer.  Three, these sellers generally have 100% feedback.   While sellers strive for 100% feedback, let's be realistic.  Any seller with a  large number of transactions is bound to make a mistake sometimes.  Also,  sometimes a seller runs across a buyer who has unreasonable expectations...not  often...but it happens.  Is the feedback of a seller who takes those defensive  actions to protect his/her feedback truly accurate feedback?
I give feedback to my clients about the time I  ship them their purchase.  At that time, the buyer has completed his/her  responsibilities...I don't need any more time to know what feedback to leave.  I  expect that my buyers will give me honest feedback (hopefully positive) either  after they've received their item or after they've had a chance to use it.  I  don't go back afterward and ask for positive feedback or for 5-star detailed  seller ratings.  I believe that if I list items accurately, give value for the  dollar spent, communicate well and ship promptly, my feedback will reflect those  actions.
Please evaluate my feedback and seller  ratings with the above in mind.  If you purchase from me, please leave honest  feedback.
Extended warranties.
You may find extended warranties offered with some listed items.  BolotinsBargains has nothing to do with these extended warranties.  These warranties are offered directly by eBay as an add-on to the purchases of certain items…selected by category, price and/or description.
BolotinsBargains
cannot answer any specific questions on the extended warranties.  However,
BolotinsBargains
supports the many consumer protection agencies who advise that extended warranties are usually not a good value.
Authorized Dealer.
BolotinsBargains
is an authorized dealer for all items that it sells.  As most manufacturers limit warranties to the original purchaser, a purchase from a non-authorized dealer would not be covered by the manufacturer's warranties.
Inventory.
I stock almost nothing at my location. Items are ordered to ship from the appropriate factory warehouses as needed for my clients. This is an example of what eBay calls fulfillment sales. Most items ship directly from the warehouse to you; however, the constraints of some manufacturers require me to ship items to my location and then re-ship them. The time frames I estimate for handling allow for processing times of the appropriate manufacturer and, where necessary, shipping time to my store. There are other sellers (both on-line and bricks-and-mortar) who sell from these factory inventories and real-time inventory status is usually not available to me. While I try to check factory inventories on a continuing basis, there will be instances when I’m not aware of a temporary factory outage. For that, I apologize in advance. When I do know that an item is temporarily back-ordered, the listing will indicate that clearly. Any such indication will be prominently positioned near the top of the listing and will be easily distinguished from other copy by a distinctive change in font (color, size, and/or typeface).
Additional delivery charges.
If additional delivery charges are incurred by your actions, you will be responsible for them...whether the item is delivered, refused or returned.  These include, but are not limited to, non-standard services you request (such as delivery outside of normal business hours, moving existing items out of the way, etc), additional charges incurred as a direct result of your actions (missed appointments, storage charges, charges that result from your providing incorrect or incomplete delivery information, etc) and charges that result from a highly unusual situation at point of delivery (driveways that don't accept the delivery vehicle and result in a long carry, situations that require more than the number of people who would normally be on the delivery truck, locations that require the use of a ferry, locations that require leaving the United States and coming back into the country, etc).  When the delivery companies policies allow, these charges can be paid directly to the delivery company.  If not, these charges will need to be paid to
BolotinsBargains
prior to delivery.
Inspection/ freight damage / freight claims.
While I only use reputable shippers, there is still the chance of freight damage.  These instructions will lessen the chance of problems when freight damage does occur
1.     Inspect the outside of all packages upon arrival.  If there is any damage to a box, it must be noted on the delivery copy before you sign the copy.  Check all 6 sides of the boxes.  Shake boxes and listen for broken glass.  If a shipment arrives on a pallet, it may not be possible to check the underneath side of the boxes for damage.  In that case, write on the delivery copy that you were unable to check the bottoms of boxes against the pallet.  If there is visible damage to a box, the driver may suggest that you open it to check for damage to the item…that’s for the freight company’s protection, not yours.  If you choose to do open it in the driver’s presence, make sure that you check completely  and carefully. You are better protected if you indicate that the box is damaged than if you open the box and possibly miss something.
Open all boxes promptly.  Notify me within 24 hours of receipt if possible, 48 hours at the worst.  If there is damage, also notify the shipping company immediately upon discovery…especially if the boxes didn’t show damage.
In the event of damage, send me pictures of the damage and of the packing materials.  Keep all packing materials until everything is resolved including disposition of damage items.  The delivery company has a right to examine the packing materials; they will look for signs of inadequate packing so they can shift the blame to the manufacturer.  Or, if an item is
replaced under a freight claim, the freight company is entitled to the original one for its salvage value and it will need repackaged.
Different types of shipping companies
Small package delivery (USPS, FEDEX Ground, UPS Ground, etc).  You may not have an opportunity to check the package.  You will not have an opportunity to indicate damage at time of delivery.  That’s OK.  Follow all other steps.
Motor freight carriers (large truck deliveries).  The above steps are most important in this case
White Glove Delivery (package is opened and item is set-up).  Hidden damage really can’t occur here.  Check the opened item carefully for damage (not necessarily defects, which are covered by warranties) before the delivery personnel leave your home.
If the problem is clearly a manufacturing defect, as opposed to freight damage, not all of the above is important.  However, clear pictures will still be needed.
Both BolotinsBargains and its vendors want successful resolution of any freight issues.  However, your failure to follow the above steps can make a freight claim impossible to pursue successfully and would transfer the responsibility of any shipping damage to you.
