Unfinished Furniture of Wilmington offer the lowest price possible on any item in our inventory. Many furniture stores inflate their prices to cover costs of shipping, and then advertise that item as 'Free Shipping'. We do realize that not all stores do this, but as we have found, the majority do. We also simply cannot afford to pay to ship items for you, and would rather use that money to improve our website, invest in more inventory and in our store location in Wilmington NC. Please note than any shipping we do charge, is charged out at cost. We make no profit on shipping!
