6. Can I get custom fixtures made specifically for my merchandising needs?

NEWOOD will help you design fixtures to fit your specific merchandising needs. Many of our catalog items can be customized or completely new designs can be developed. Cash wraps, vendor concept shops, show booths and specialty fixtures are available from our Custom Shop. Back to Top

7. How are fixtures shipped?

With few exceptions, standard catalog fixtures are designed to be shipped knocked down (KD) via truck, UPS or ship (international). Truck shipments from Oregon to the east coast take 7-10 working days, to the mid-west 5 days, to the mountain states 4 days and to the west coast 3 days. Shipping KD reduces freight charges, minimizes freight damage and takes less warehouse space. Carpenters or a contractor are not necessary for installation. Most fixtures can be handled and assembled by one or two people. Back to Top

8. Aren't freight charges expensive from Oregon?

NEWOOD has excellent freight discounts with all major shipping companies which we pass through to our customers. Almost all fixtures are shipped knocked down (KD) to reduce freight charges. Freight charges are based on the type of fixture, quantity, weight and the distance traveled. Prepaid, collect and 3rd party billing. Call 800-233-9663 for freight quote. Back to Top

9. Does NEWOOD have manufacturer's representatives?

NEWOOD has no exclusive manufacturer's representation in the United States. Most of our customers buy direct. Back to Top
