Why does open box cost so much in Austin? Because local retail in a metro of 2.5M people (median household income near $87K) can charge what it charges. Francis Retail sells liquidation inventory from our own warehouse and ships it to your TX address on a flat-rate freight lane built for open-box sofas and open-box beds.
Texas tax handling on open box orders: unless we've crossed a nexus threshold in TX, Francis Retail doesn't collect state sales tax at checkout — Texas use tax may apply per state law. The practical upshot: a piece of open box that lists locally in Austin with tax baked in often costs materially less when you order from us and pay flat-rate freight, even after freight is added. We do the math on the landed-cost table below so you can see exactly what a specific SKU costs delivered to your TX door.
Curbside delivery with liftgate is included on every open box order to Austin. Driver calls 24-48 hours ahead to book a 4-hour window. Two-man inside delivery (white-glove) to the room of your choice is a flat $300 checkout add-on.

How open box freight delivery works
Curbside + liftgate
Standard freight is curbside with liftgate: the driver lowers the pallet to your driveway or curb. Moving it inside is up to you unless you add inside delivery.
Two-man inside delivery (white-glove)
A 2-person crew brings your items inside your home, to the room of your choice — not just the curb. One flat $300 per order. Assembly isn't included.
Open Box shipping to Austin — FAQ
What payment methods do you accept for Austin open box orders?
Card (Visa, Mastercard, Amex, Discover), Apple Pay, Google Pay, Cash App Pay, Amazon Pay, Link, and financing via Afterpay, Klarna, and Affirm. All handled through Stripe at checkout. Texas buyers see the same payment options as CA buyers on open box orders.
Can I combine open box with other items in one shipment to Austin?
Yes — multiple items to the same Austin address ship on combined pallets as long as the total stays within Warp's 850-lb, 50×50×85 flat-rate ceiling. If your cart exceeds that, checkout shows a multi-pallet freight quote (still flat-rate per pallet) instead of surprise fees at delivery.
What if my open box item is too large for flat-rate freight to Austin?
Oversized open box — longer than 85 inches in any dimension, heavier than 850 lb, or multi-pallet — gets a custom Warp quote instead of the flat rate. The product page flags this and the checkout flow shows the actual rate for your specific Austin zip before you pay — oversized pieces are priced before payment, not surprise-billed later.
How far in advance should I order open box for Austin delivery?
Plan on about 2 weeks from order placement to a scheduled delivery window at your Austin address: 1-2 business days of warehouse handling, 1,377 miles of LTL freight transit (5 business days), plus a carrier-scheduled appointment window. If you need open box by a specific date, call us before ordering.
Do you charge Texas sales tax on open box orders shipped to Austin?
We do not currently collect Texas sales tax on open box orders shipped to Austin. Texas use tax may apply under state law — check with a TX tax professional if you have questions about your obligations as a buyer. Stripe Tax recalculates at final checkout if our nexus status has changed.
Do open box items shipped to Austin come with a manufacturer warranty?
Manufacturer warranties usually do NOT transfer on liquidation open box — check each product page for your specific unit. Where a warranty does survive, claims on Austin orders go to the manufacturer directly with your purchase record; we can also help if you get stuck. Undisclosed damage or defects are covered separately by our 48-hour reporting window.
