Shipping Policy


SHIPPING CARRIER

We use FedEx and USPS. We will choose the cheapest method for shipping between these two carriers. If you are shipping to a PO Box, the carrier will be USPS by default.

SHIPPING RATES

We currently have a flat rate tier in place, based on the total cost of your online order. Here are the current charges in place:

  • Up to $49.99 = $8 shipping
  • Purchases $50 - $299.99 = $12 shipping
  • Purchases $300 - $899.99 = $20 shipping
  • Purchases $900+ = $40 shipping
We are in the process of migrating to an integrated shipping platform, where shipping rates are based on package dimensions and weight. Additional shipping charges may apply to some items because of size, weight, or special handling that is required to make sure your order reaches you safely. If an item has an additional shipping charge, it will appear in the description area of the item on the product page. Some examples of items that require additional shipping fees are the Boston Rocker and Captain's Chair. *Please note, shipping rates are non-refundable, even in the event of a return/exchange.

FREIGHT FORWARDING COMPANY ADDRESSES

Due to issues with verifying orders that use a freight forwarding company address, we are unable to ship to these locations. We will reach out to you to request a residential or business address if we see an order come through that has a freight forwarding company as the destination. This is to help ensure that you are the recipient of the order. Any orders that do not have a residential or business address will be closed.

UT PACKAGE LOCKERS

We can ship to UT Package Lockers via University Printing and Mail. Students are assigned a locker location based on their residential housing. Students must live in on-campus residential housing to choose this shipping method.

INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING

At this time, we do not ship internationally. We are looking at the possibility of offering this service in the future.
