The housing mortgage crisis notwithstanding, many people still buy new furniture if these are offered at big discounts. The low prices combined with generous in-store credit has created a buying spree in furniture stores in Queens, for example. People are finding fantastic buys without the need to pay cash outright. These furniture stores in Queens allow customers to defer amortization payments for the first 12 months of the purchase. That simply means you will start paying only by next year.

If you wondered why the furniture stores in Queens can afford to extend such payment terms, it is because they are backed by bank credits. The big banks in the area offered them wholesale loans and the stores are made conduits of these personal credit loans. The furniture stores in Queens are the ones who will effectively process your bank loan as the intermediaries of the banks. The stores will make all the necessary background checks on your credit history, employment and educational records and proof of your actual residential location. This is why you need to personally go to the store to place orders before they will deliver your requested items. You will need to fill out some bank forms there. You just cannot order right away the first time but maybe subsequent orders can be processed through phone.

Most of the furniture stores in Queens have reliable delivery service through common truck carriers which they have sub-contracted to make the deliveries for them. This means there is a reliable professional delivery team that will ensure no damage is made to any furniture during the delivery and during the unloading itself. However, most furniture stores in Queens have the habit of delivering only up to your home's doorstep and not deliver inside. This will incur you additional charges but these are very minimal in comparison to the value of the merchandise.

The furniture stores in Queens, like most furniture stores, will allow for refunds but they will impose a 15% cut of the total refund amount for freight costs. This is because returned merchandise is penalized with the total round trip expense already. So make sure you are definite when you order the items to avoid this penalty. They will also allow for cancellations with no charges whatsoever if these are done early enough before the delivery truck has left the warehouse. In the case of special orders for some custom-made items, cancellations should also be pre-approved and properly authorized. But as I said earlier, furniture stores in Queens can be generous and they may not impose charges at all.
