How To Buy Furniture Online

STEP 1: Browse for what your interested in.

Start from our home page http://www.myaffordablefurniture.com

Browse by Room
We have organized all our products by room categories. For example if you want to buy a bed you will find it within the heading "Bedroom Furniture" under "Beds".
Browse by Brand
We have grouped our products by Brand/Manufacturer as well for your browsing convenience. If you are interested in a particular brand they have been categorized for you by room.
Search by Item# or Name
If you know the manufacturer's SKU# or Item# or Code or even just the collection name, type that term in the our store's search bar. Please be specific when using this function.

*If you cannot find an item in our website and you see that we carry that Brand/Manufacturer feel free to call us at 877-888-5583 so we can give you more information about it such as price, etc. We are authorized direct-ship vendors of our suppliers and although we would like to have their full product line on our online catalog, we do not have the resources to do so, however we still have their full product lines available for phone orders or custom orders.


STEP 2: Research the item.


Helpful information will be provided for you in the product descriptions tab, Shipping Information Tab, and Manufacturer Info tab of the product page. We have recently added a Zoom feature to view photos up close and in greater detail.

* Under the "Product Descriptions" tab you will find information on the product dimensions, the collection, key points, its construction materials, and what the product includes (no. of pieces, set contents, etc.).

* Under the "Shipping Information" tab we have provided a cross-reference to our shipping policies and expectations at delivery. Please read these instructions carefully before placing an order. We will never have furniture shipped to your home without an adult signature.

* Under the "Manufacture Info" tab is background history and a quick synopsis of the company, how they started, what their known for and other useful info.



STEP 3: Add to cart.


If you like a product, add it to your shopping cart, it will be kept there until you clear it out. Think of it as a real shopping cart when you shop at the supermarket. Its a place to hold your items while you keep on shopping, here will also provide you with a running total of what you are purchasing so far. You can easily change quantity and edit, add or remove items from the shopping cart and estimate shipping costs and taxes as well.


STEP 4: Check out.


Once you are ready this process will take you to the secure payment gateway. Your information is encrypted using SSL technology, the most secure way to shop. Enter your credit card billing information or if you want to keep this information confidential you may use Paypal or Google Checkout and your billing information will be hidden from the merchant. Please make sure your shipping and billing address and contact information is correct, any errors will delay your order.
Confirm order and you are done. Print out the confirmation page and look out for our confirmation order email. Remember to read all emails and correspondences to your order, they are important information we must relay to you.
