Shipping Large Items
General Information
Quick tip! Your order contains a large item if you are choosing how and where the item will be delivered during checkout.
For these items, we partner with carriers who specialize in transportation and final delivery to ensure the product arrives safely and soundly. Your order is handled with the utmost care from the moment it leaves the warehouse to the time it has been successfully delivered at your home.
Process
Larger items have their own delivery process. Here’s a list of steps for this kind of shipment:
1) You choose a delivery option for your item at checkout. Available delivery methods vary by item; all options will be displayed in cart.
2) Your order gets picked up from the warehouse. We’ll send you a shipping confirmation email to let you know your order is on its way.
3) Your order is shipped to a local delivery agent. A carrier transports your order to a delivery professional in your area.
4) You schedule a delivery appointment. When the local delivery agent has your order, they will contact you to schedule a delivery date and set a time window.
5) Enjoy your new item! Enjoy your new item! Check the conditions and packaging of your order. As always, feel free to contact us for any additional help!
