Shipping and Returns

Shipping

Most items ship in 3 to 5 business days. Once an item ships, please allow 2 to 5 additional business days for in-transit shipping time.This means that in-stock items will normally arrive at your location in 5 to 10 business days. Amish Crafted Parts and some wood parts (eg. fittings) take longer, and in many cases are made specifically for you. These products normally ship in 14 to 21 business days.

At this time we only ship to the USA.

After your order has shipped, please refer to the tracking number(s) that we have sent to you via email/text and let us know if the packages are held up for more than a few days in any shipping location. Occasionally, this willjust be a minor delay within the shipping process of the shipping company. Otherwise, there could be a chance that the shipment is damaged or missing. After you contact us, we'll investigate the issue and contact the shipping company (if necessary) tofind out the shipment status.

Please keep in mind that an adult must be at the delivery site to accept a truck shipment. The driver is only responsible for getting the pallet to the back of the truck. It is the receiver’s responsibility to get it off of thetruck, and then inspect all of the packages to confirm all items are accounted for and without damage.

If something is missing from the shipmentor damaged, please write this on the delivery receipt when signing for the shipment,as well as take photos and send them to us with a note about the issue. If you received the wrong product or damaged items, you must notify us within 24 hours, including pictures and receipt information to begin the return process.

If you need Liftgate Service added to the shipment to get the pallet loaded off of the truck, this will require an additional $185 and will be billed directly to you by the shipping company if you request it when called to schedule your delivery appointment window.

If you arrange for a freight shipment to be delivered without someone present at the delivery address, you may be subject to a $185 liftgate charge (billed after delivery). You will also be waiving your right to inspect the shipment for any damages or missing packages. We strongly recommend that you be present during delivery to receive the shipment and check for any damage or missing items.
