DALLAS \u2013 <\/strong>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.<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n \u201cThe Exchange\u2019s motto of \u2018we go where you go\u2019 now includes going to military shoppers\u2019 homes,\u201d said the Exchange\u2019s Senior Enlisted Advisor Chief Master Sgt. Jeffry Helm. \u201cFrom sofas to washers and driers to mattresses, this partnership ensures items arrive safely and are installed properly.\u201d<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n — 30 —<\/p>\n The Army & Air Force Exchange Service is a joint command and is directed by a Board of Directors which is responsible to the Secretaries of the Army and the Air Force through the Service Chiefs of Staff. The Exchange has the dual mission of providing authorized patrons with articles of merchandise and services and generating non-appropriated fund earnings as a supplemental source of funding for military Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation (FMWR) programs.
