How it Works

Step 1: Opening an Account

Note: Columbine is a wholesale to-the-trade showroom and does not apply sales tax to orders shipped within the state.

Step 2: Getting a Quote
- Send your desired items to our main info account or your designated sales representative.
- Include all necessary details such as quantity, fabrics, finishes, and specifications.
- Your sales representative will provide a quote within 24 hours.

Step 3: Placing an Order
- All item information must be finalized before placing the order.
- All orders must be sent to a commercial receiver.
- For all out-of-state or unknown receivers, a Receiver Requirements Form must be completed and signed to confirm compliance with the necessary criteria.
- Columbine requires a 50% deposit for all in-state orders and a 75% deposit for out-of-state orders.
- We accept payment via card or check (we do not have credit card fees)
- Once the order is placed you will receive a Columbine Customer Acknowledgement and a PO # associated with your order.
- Please refer to the Columbine PO # when discussing order details
- The designer is responsible for reviewing the Customer Acknowledgment for accuracy and correctness; and has 24 hours to request any changes or updates.
Note: If a company is registered to collect tax in the state where the order is delivered. The appropriate sales tax will be added to the order.

Step 4: Freight, Delivery, and Post Delivery
- All orders ship via a freight carrier and must be sent to a commercial receiver.
- Freight costs will be added to your order once items ship, and an invoice will be sent for final payment.
- Items will be released only after the remaining balance is paid in full.
- Columbine can provide freight quotes valid for 30 days.
- Freight costs are roughly 10-12% of the order total.
- Freight, delivery, and related costs are the responsibility of the purchasing design firm.
- Upon arrival, the receiver must inspect the items, sign off on them, or report any damages within two weeks.
- Claims submitted after the 7-day period may be denied for repair or replacement.
Note: Signing for a shipment is the legal transfer of the product, regardless of the condition issues or missing items.

Step 5: Problem / Damage Resolution
- Report any damages to your sales representative within 7 days of the item’s delivery to your receiver
- Include a detailed description of the damage along with photos of the item and its carrier packaging.
- Damage that occurs during installation must be resolved between the designer and the receiver.
Columbine will do its best to help resolve any issues that occur.
