Buying a Sectional Sofas or Furniture SAFELY on s

First of all, if the seller isn't showing you the actual photo of the item you are buying, wonder why.. Secondly you should never buy a large ticket furniture item from someone who has blocked or private feedback. This feedback is being blocked for a reason they don't want you to know about.. Thirdly, don't buy a large ticket item from someone who doesn't specialize in large ticket items. For example, if this seller mainly sells items $200 and under and then lists a $2000 item, beware. Even if feedback is somewhat good on precentage rating (98% and above), it is easy for a seller to get lots of good feedback on small items and then throw in a large item that they can afford to get a negative on because they know it has problems. They plan it out to allow for a negative here and there.. and you can bet it will fall on a large ticket item., they certainly would rather resolve a problem and refund a $20 item verus $2000 item. And lastly, if they say you handle any shipping claims yourself, do not go there. Shipper will refuse claims almost always on large ticket item. Even if you pay for insurance, that doesn't guarantee you a refund by any means. Shippers base claims on how well items are packaged and that is the sellers job and most who don't sell tons of furniture don't have any idea how to package safely. Plussome sell cheap because items are already damaged andpass of as shipping damage for you to handle. Only buy from someone who shows you the actual item, has unblocked feedback and positives on previous large ticket items, guarantees safe delivery or fully refundable, and states they will handle all claims themselves taking the responsibility off you. Hope thishelps.
