Our large 26,000 square foot warehouse stocks items in depth. Most customers in the Midwest receive their orders the next day due to our same-day shipping policy of in-stock items. If your church has an account, we can invoice (the invoice is due 30 days from date of shipment). For individual customers, we take MasterCard, Visa, Discover and American Express. We have a showroom in Kansas City for clergy with select church furnishings, sacred vessels and vestments ready for immediate shipping or pickup. If we have to order church supplies (furniture, vessels, vestments, etc), they are not returnable unless prior authorization is given and some suppliers will charge a restocking fee.
