We do not hold products for longer than 60 days.  After 60 days, we charge a non-refundable fee of $75 + VAT.

Any changes must be provided at least 24 hours prior to the originally scheduled delivery time. 

 

When will you ship my Family Island order?

We coordinate deliveries for Family Island customers to a mail boat or freight carrier of choice.  

We are usually able to deliver a paid order to port by the next business day.  

For Finance Customers, we can usually schedule next-day delivery to port once financing is approved by 3:00 pm of your order date.


Important Note

Special Orders

May I place a special order if a product I want is not available online or at a store location?

If the furniture or appliance you’ve been dreaming about isn’t in our showroom or online store, we may be able to help you source and land it as a special order.


Furniture Plus is the exclusive national dealer for Ashley Furniture and several prominent appliance brands.  Through our dealers, we access a broader scope of inventory and help you  find exactly what you’re looking for.

Whom do I contact for assistance with a special order?

Our sales associates would be delighted to facilitate your special order.  


We’ll guide you to distributor sources, and help you price, ship, and land the products you need.


You can work with a store associate, or simply contact us for help:

Phone (242) 397-PLUS (7587)

Email sales@furnitureplus.com

 

How soon will I hear back after placing a special order inquiry?

Please give us 3 business days to research your request with our international vendors, explore delivery times, and calculate landed costs.

What kinds of special orders are most common?

We got our name, Furniture Plus, by solving problems for our customers.  In fact, a few of our major product lines began as customer suggestions!  


Our special order customers often have a specific furniture design in mind.  Some clients have specific appliance preferences.  


We work with our vendors to help clients source the perfect home goods solution for them.  

 

What deposit will I pay to place a special order?

Once we finalise landed costs, we require a 50% deposit to place your order.  


The deposit does not include the cost of delivery arrangements.

Can I finance a special order?

Any purchase from Furniture Plus can be financed, but your terms must be fully approved before your special order is placed.

Are special orders much more expensive than products in your showroom?

We help you save on what it would ordinarily cost to organise your own shipment.  You benefit from our preferential dealer pricing.  You also save because we consolidate your order with other Furniture Plus shipments.  

You get exactly what you want in your home, without the hassle of handling your own importation.  

 

You get even more perks, like not having to find reliable and trustworthy help with trucking, installation, and delivery.

  • We receive, inspect, and assemble  your order at our Distribution Centre
  • We pack and prepare your special order for delivery
  • We deliver and reinspect your special ordered home goods.

Important note: We do not install home appliances.  Some appliances require electrical or fuel adaptations for which a licensed technician of your choice must provide proper installation services.

 

Tell me more about special order timelines.

Please give us 3 business days  to respond to your special order query.  We will notify you if we are waiting for a vendor response in order to answer your question.

“Fast” special orders take between four and six weeks from order placement to delivery.

If you are planning for a special order to arrive in the busy Christmas season, we advise that you order 3 - 4 months in advance.  

Given the worldwide state of logistics, consider even longer timelines. 

 

Order Cancellations & Returns

How do I cancel an order in my online cart?

If you do not wish to complete an order during checkout, use your browser’s Back button to leave the process at any time.

You may also “Remove Item from Cart” option at checkout.

 

What is a “completed order”?

A completed Furniture Plus order is one that has been fully paid or financed, for an in-store or web purchase.

You will receive a physical invoice for an in-store purchase, or an order confirmation for online transactions.  Your invoice or order confirmation has a unique, six digit order number that identifies the sale.

Once an order is completed, Furniture Plus initiates scheduling for delivery.  If you need to cancel or change a completed order, call the Sales Department immediately: (242) 397-7587.

 

May I change or cancel an order that has already been scheduled for delivery?

  • You may change or cancel a completed order at no charge up to 24 hours before it is scheduled for delivery. 
  • Order changes or cancellations incur various processing fees once the order has been dispatched or has been delivered to your home.  These fees cover shipping, handling, and administrative costs.

We refund the value of your purchase, less applicable cancellation, restocking, and delivery fees. 

We usually refund using the payment method used for purchase, with the exception of cash or check payments.

If you paid by check or cash, our Customer Care Department will contact you for banking instructions, and process your refund by direct deposit.

How soon will I receive my refund?

If your order was paid by credit card, we will credit the card used for payment.  Processing times vary from bank to bank, so allow 2-3 business days for the credit to appear on your account.

If your order was paid in cash, we will contact you for banking instructions. We direct deposit refunds within 5 business days.

If your order was financed, your pending loan will be deleted in our system.

Contact Customer Care  to return or exchange a product, within these terms:

  • Return the item within 30 days of purchase, in original condition, including all packaging.  
  • All returned items are thoroughly inspected and must be approved for refund or exchange.  Products are similarly inspected prior to delivery.
  • We do not accept returned mattresses, mattress covers, or soft furnishings, including pillows and blankets.
  • In the event of a manufacturing defect, Furniture Plus will replace the item at no additional cost, once the return is filed within three months from the date of purchase. 

 

I have an issue with a recent purchase.

Contact Customer Care to schedule a service order and inspection.  If the issue requires assessment or repair by a qualified technician, we will collect and return the product at no charge to you, once the issue falls within three months from the date of purchase.

 

May I ask for delivery or shipping assistance with a damaged or defective product?

Certainly.  Customer Care will coordinate inspection and collection of any defective item being returned within terms of our three-month warranty period.  Our warranty period begins on the date your product was purchased.

Please contact Customer Care to schedule collection of any other return falling within 30 days of purchase.

This fee covers our delivery and trucking costs for a return or exchange, or for a cancelled order, assessed as follows:

  • Ground floor delivery/pickup fee:    $69 + VAT
  • Second floor delivery/pickup fee:  $139 + VAT

 

Warranties

Does Furniture Plus provide product warranties?

We offer a three month warranty on all products, including appliances and electronics.  

If there is an issue with your purchase during the warranty period, we will  conduct a professional service inspection.  We may recommend assessment by a qualified, third party technician.  

Warranty repairs restore a damaged or defective product to the manufacturer’s standard at no additional cost to you.  We are not liable for any damage due to consumer abuse or neglect.

As the nation’s No. 1 appliance provider, we stock reliable brands supported by experienced, local technicians. We also provide detailed product care information to extend the life of your Furniture Plus purchase.

 

Financing

Tell me about In-House Investments

In-House is a lender specialising in large purchases such as furniture, appliances, and electronics. Because it can be challenging to pay up front  for necessary home goods, In-House offers special finance terms. 

These arrangements let you purchase and enjoy home goods through  affordable payments.


In-House also believes that:

  • Customers should be treated with respect.
  • Communication is the most important part of our relationship with our customer.
  • Delivering finance solutions and services to local customers is an honour.  

In-House is the only model of its kind offering a local furniture and appliance finance solution in The Bahamas through Furniture Plus. 

For almost  three and half decades, we have proudly helped roughly 2 out of 10 households transform their homes through empowering, structured financing.

 

How much can I buy?

When In-House Investments decides how much they can loan you, they look at your ability to pay the loan back over time. The better you have managed your money and lifestyle, the more they are willing to loan you, and the longer they will give you to pay it back.


Even if you have been on the job a short time and do not own a home, you are still entitled to credit with Furniture Plus.  As pay back as promised, your credit will continue to improve!

 

Can I add to my purchase later?

Absolutely! We have customers who have furnished many family homes over the years using their good credit. Valued customers who meet their commitments with In-House are eligible for higher credit limits and better terms. 

These preferred customers are entitled to add to their purchases over time, often without an increased monthly payment. In-House often opts to simply extend the amount of time you have to pay off your purchase!

 

Tell me about the Salary Deduction Program

In-House Investments has also developed a Salary Deduction program to improve our customers’ ability to make purchases with Furniture Plus. 

Often a Salary Deduction Agreement increases the overall amount for which new customers can apply, and offers longer repayment terms.  It usually eliminates the need for a down payment. 

With our Salary Deduction Program , there is an agreement with a participating employer to automatically deduct finance payments from your paycheck.  

It’s also convenient because  you never have to worry about a late payment.

 

What are late charges?

If you make a late finance payment, you will incur a penalty fee covering the cost of recalculating the finance agreement.  To avoid paying more than you planned for your purchase, we encourage our customers to pay by the scheduled date, and contact a finance associate if you are having an issue paying on time.  

 

What happens if I lose my job, or cannot make payments?

The most important thing to In-House Investments is communication. If your circumstances have changed, then you should contact one of our Customer Service Representatives immediately. Depending on your situation, special arrangements can be made. When it comes to the future of your credit this is what is important:

You made a commitment and must make every effort to meet that commitment. But, when you can’t…

You must make every effort to pay as much as you can even if it is not the full payment. And…

You must TALK TO US! We know things happen in life. But when we don’t hear anything or don’t receive payments we can only think the worst: that we loaned money to someone who is not fair or honest.

Your commitment to pay is not only a legal one, it is an ethical one as well.

 

What types of support documents are needed to back my finance application?

We require various kinds of documentation for any person listed on a finance application, whether the primary applicant, or a co-signer.

 

IDENTIFICATION DOCUMENTS


We require two Identification documents that confirm your legal name, such as both sides of a driver’s licence, a passport, NIB card, Voter’s card, or travel document.  One of these documents may be an Employee ID card.

We also request current work or spousal work permits, because they confirm legal employment eligibility.

We accept electronic copies of these documents, emailed to credit@furnitureplus.com.


INCOME DOCUMENTS


In addition to the two pieces of official identification required of all finance applicants, we ask you to provide income verification documents.

If you are employed, we require an employment confirmation letter and recent pay stub.

If you are self-employed, we require a copy of your current business licence, a bank reference letter, and a recent bank statement 

If you are retired, we require a pension verification or “award letter” from NIB or your pension agent.

We accept electronic copies of these documents, emailed to credit@furnitureplus.com.


SALARY DEDUCTION AGREEMENT

If your finance contract was approved on the grounds of a salary deduction agreement, we will email a document to your employer for your signature and theirs.  The Company (usually someone in Payroll or Human Resources) stamps or affixes the Company seal to this document. It must be physically delivered to Guest Services at one of our store locations.  We do not accept electronic Salary Deduction documentation.

 

How do I submit support documents for my finance application?

You may email any support documents confirming your legal identification or verifying your income.  Email credit@furnitureplus.com.

We only accept Salary Deduction Agreements in person. They must be physically delivered to Guest Services at one of our store locations.  If you live on a Family Island and cannot easily walk into one of our stores, please call or email us to make arrangements for the documents to be delivered.

If I have financed before with Furniture Plus, do I still need to provide support documents for the new application?

We assess each new finance application on the merits of your current status. Your support documents provide rapid verification of the data submitted on your finance application, and ensure that our customer records are accurate.  

Is there a document size limit for each support document?

For best results, please make sure that each page does not exceed 2 MB.

What happens if my credit application is not approved for the amount I requested?

If your credit approval is lower than what you expected, one of our finance associates may be able to provide another solution.  

Over the years, we’ve collaborated on many creative strategies that solve problems and leave our customers satisfied.  

Often we propose budget friendly workarounds, combine a down payment with financing, suggest a salary deduction agreement, or recommend factors that may improve creditworthiness.  

We never say no--we say, “here’s how you can do it.”

Once all documents are received, when can I expect to hear about whether my loan has been approved?

We usually process financing and set up your finance contract within 24 to 48 hours of receiving all support documents.  Occasionally, it takes a little longer to verify documents with employers or other references.

Will my Immigration Status affect my Finance Application?

We ask you to provide valid work and/or spousal work permits, just to verify that you are able to legally work in The Bahamas.  Your finance eligibility is based on your ability to work.

What can I do if there is an issue providing one of the documents required to process my finance application?

Please discuss the issue with one of our Finance Associates. We may be able to accommodate you with an interim solution if one of your documents is being renewed.  Your inquiry will remain confidential.
