Option #2: Arrange for our local pickup and delivery service.
Please call for details.
Option #3: Ship your items to us, and we will ship them back to you.
ACI is a regular destination for the major delivery services including UPS, Fedex and USPS. Fabrics that are shipped to us should include your name, address (billing and shipping if different), daytime phone and/or email address, any special requirements or concerns such as repairs, upgrades or required return dates. Upon request you will receive a call to confirm arrival of your shipment and/or price confirmation.
When shipping your items, please do the following:
- Remove the fabric from the frame, if any. Remove ropes. Unstuff cushions if possible. Windows should be rolled, not folded.
- Although we thoroughly inspect all pieces, the more info we have, the better – such as, does the item leak? Check for stitching and fabric integrity – is it brittle or dry? Do stitches let go even slightly if fabric is tugged along the seams? Are any unusual stains visible?
- Measure the items to estimate the square footage, or weigh the item if a sail. Request an estimate.
- Tag each piece with your name. In the package, include a list of all tagged items, as well as your name, address (for both billing and shipping if different), daytime phone number, email address, and any special requirements or concerns, such as repairs, upgrades, or required return dates.
- If you use a UPS or other mailing facility, be sure your name is on the outside of the box.
- Ship with insurance to: Awning Cleaning Industries, 29 Fitch Street, New Haven, CT 06515.
