DALLAS – The Army & Air Force Exchange Service has taken the hassle and expense out of getting new furniture, appliances and mattresses home and installed by partnering with Sears Home Delivery.

Through this service, shoppers making purchases prior to 3 p.m. often can schedule delivery for the very next day. A two-hour window is set the evening before the uniformed Sears crews deliver. Services range from $79.95 to $94.95.

“The Exchange’s motto of ‘we go where you go’ now includes going to military shoppers’ homes,” said the Exchange’s Senior Enlisted Advisor Chief Master Sgt. Jeffry Helm. “From sofas to washers and driers to mattresses, this partnership ensures items arrive safely and are installed properly.”

In addition to delivery and installation, old appliances, mattresses and furniture are hauled away for $10 per delivery, one for one (i.e. buy a new mattress, the old one can be hauled away). More technical installations or required assemblies can be arranged directly at the Exchange.
