Reserved for select large or high-value pieces requiring expedited or signature delivery.

Stay informed, ship to the right place.
Tracking
You’ll receive a shipping confirmation email with tracking information as soon as your order ships. Reach out anytime if you have questions about a shipment.
Address accuracy
Please double-check your shipping address before checkout. We’re unable to redirect packages once they’ve shipped, and we can’t cover items sent to an incorrect address provided by the customer.
Shipping beyond the U.S.
- We ship to select international destinations — availability shown at checkout.
- Customs duties, taxes, and fees are the buyer’s responsibility.
- We mark customs forms accurately and cannot undervalue items.
- Delivery times may vary due to customs processing in your country.
If something goes wrong.
If tracking shows your package as delivered but it hasn’t arrived, contact us within 7 days of the delivery date. We’ll work with the carrier to investigate.
Inspect your package on delivery. If the box shows visible damage, note it with the carrier, take photos of the packaging and item, and contact us right away. We’ll file a claim and make it right.
The fine print.
- Multiple items — orders may ship together or separately depending on size and origin. We combine shipping when possible to save you money.
- Expedited shipping — available at checkout. Faster shipping reduces transit time, not processing time. Need a true rush? Email us.
- Undeliverable packages — returned packages may be subject to additional shipping costs to reship; refunds may be subject to a restocking fee.
- P.O. Boxes — we ship USPS to P.O. Boxes; certain large or fragile items may require a street address.
- Local pickup — we don’t currently offer local pickup. All orders ship.
We’re here to help.
Combined shipping, custom quotes, international questions — we respond personally, usually within a few hours.
