All items are completely assembled either in the customer’s location or the TEMA warehouse prior to delivery. Packaging is cleared and taken by the delivery team. In the event the merchandise is unable to be placed in the intended area because of lack of properly sized entryways or failure on the customer’s part to determine the parameters for delivery, the delivery team will return the merchandise to TEMA’s warehouse and await further instructions. Please give your sales associate any specific circumstances that may be taken into consideration for the delivery of your merchandise. Your balance must be paid in full when scheduling delivery.
