Very Important Shipping Information
Delivery Lead-time
Every item is custom-made, just for you! Because of this, even though our "standard" delivery
time is stated as 2 to 3 weeks, delivery times may vary. Some aspects of your order that may affect delivery times
are:
- The size of your order
- Seasonality (During late Spring and Summer months, manufacturing lead time can be as long as 4-5
weeks)
- The volume of orders placed before yours and their production status
- The difficulty of your order (some items are much more complex to make than others)
- Fabric availability
- Your delivery address
Receiving Your Delivery
We use several carriers to ship our orders so that we can get your items to you as quickly as
possible and at the best price. Some orders will be delivered by UPS / FedEx / DHL in small vans, and others may be
delivered in very large trucks.
UPS will leave your order even if you are not there to receive it. If you are not home when a
large truck delivery is being made, the driver will not leave the goods, but will leave you a notice to call the
trucking company to make arrangements for a suitable delivery time.
EXTREMELY IMPORTANT
CHECK YOUR PACKAGES CAREFULLY BEFORE SIGNING FOR THEM.
-
If you notice any damage to the boxes or any open boxes, you MUST open the
damaged boxe(s) and inspect the contents for damage. If any contents are damaged, refuse acceptance of
the item and make sure the driver makes a note of the damage on the Bill of Lading before you
sign. This way if there is any damage to the contents, you (and we) will be protected with
insurance and can claim for the damage from the freight company.
-
Make sure that you receive the correct number of boxes, as stated on the waybill. If any boxes are
missing, again make sure this is noted on the waybill before you sign it.
ALL ITEMS ARE CAREFULLY INSPECTED BEFORE LEAVING OUR FACTORY. IF YOU FAIL TO NOTICE
DAMAGE AT THE TIME OF DELIVERY, OR IF YOU FAIL TO NOTE ANY MISSING BOXES, NEITHER WE, OR THE MANUFACTURER OR THE
TRUCKING COMPANY CAN BE HELD RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE.
MOST ITEMS ARE MADE TO CUSTOMER SPECIFICATIONS
THEREFORE ALL CUSTOM ITEMS ARE NON-REFUNDABLE
Shipping Costs
As you can imagine, there is wide variation between our customers' order sizes. Because of this,
it is extremely difficult to create a "formula" for pricing shipping costs. We have done our best to achieve this
in our shopping cart, but sometimes things just don't work out correctly. If this appears to be the case - if your
shipping cost seems too high or too low - please call us and we'll calculate it manually.
We will obtain the shipping cost based upon the best possible rates available to us from
multiple carriers BEFORE you order. You will therefore know the total cost of your order before confirming it.
NOTE: ANY UNFORESEEN ADDITIONAL COSTS
INCURRED DURING DELIVERY SUCH AS COMMUNITY GATE FEES OR GOVERNMENT FEES/DUTIES MUST BE PAID BY CUSTOMER. OUR
FREIGHT QUOTES DO NOT INCLUDE SUCH FEES AND WE ARE NOT LIABLE FOR
THEM.
