Shipping & Delivery

We take our shipping very seriously. We hand wrap every single piece with extreme care. We have been successfully shipping items large and small around the world since 2010 and have an extremely low damage rate.

We wrap your piece with extreme care with bubble wrap, cardboard and if needed, we take extra precautions by added extra layers of bubble wrap, corners or cardboard to delicate pieces (carved or glass). 

Our commitment to providing the absolute top of the line products extends to the pride with which we deliver our products to you. We offer delivery of all non-furniture and furniture items according to the rates outlined below; expedited shipping options for non-furniture items are available at checkout for an additional fee. We ask that you inspect your delivery and sign for it upon receipt.

The best way to ensure that your piece arrives without damage is to coordinate the arrival day/time with your schedule. This way, your package will be handled less and the probability for damage will be extremely low. 

We do our best to try to coordinate the arrival of your piece so that it will fit with your schedule. We understand that your time is valuable and will do our best to ensure that the delivery is smooth, quick and painless! 

Please feel free to contact us with any questions!

If your item is shipped via freight company on a pallet. Lift gate service will be provided to unload the piece from the truck to the ground. You will be responsible for bringing your purchase from the truck into your home. If your piece is being delivered via freight, you will need help taking the piece from the lift gate into your residence. The delivery truck will come as close to your residence as possible (curb or driveway).

Then, they have another 90 days to either accept or deny the claim. We will always follow up and try to speed this process up but ultimately have to follow their protocol.
