Shipping Timeframes and Delays
We aim to ship orders within the timeframe shown on the product page, checkout page or order confirmation.
If no specific shipping timeframe is provided, we aim to ship within a reasonable timeframe and in line with applicable US rules.
If we cannot ship your order within the stated or applicable timeframe, we may contact you with an updated shipping estimate and, where required, give you the option to accept the delay or cancel for a refund.
The FTC’s Mail, Internet, or Telephone Order Merchandise Rule requires sellers to have a reasonable basis for advertised shipping times, and where no shipping time is stated, the default shipment expectation is generally 30 days.

Order Tracking
Once your order has shipped, we will provide tracking information where available.
Tracking updates may take time to appear after dispatch.
For large furniture, tracking may update differently from standard parcel deliveries.

You will receive tracking information where available.
Separate shipments do not necessarily mean that any part of your order is missing.
Delivery Appointments
Some large items may require a delivery appointment or carrier contact before delivery.
If the carrier contacts you to schedule delivery, you are responsible for responding promptly and being available at the agreed time.
Missed delivery appointments may result in additional charges, including redelivery, storage, handling or return fees.
