Our Approach to Shipping
All these items were hand-picked by us, we love them as much as you do, we make every effort to get them to you safely.
Small items: Anything that can be safely sent USPS (United States Postal Service) is. We find priority mail to be the most economical way to ship and insure most small items ie: apparel and anything we can pack easily in house.
Small and Mid-size Fragile: These items are hand delivered by us to our local pack and ship wonder boys a few blocks away. They are expert at packing anything from vases and lamps to fragile sculpture and we let them. Their price for packing is very reasonable and the item arrives safely. they usually ship UPS or Fed Ex depending on the item requirements and best price.
Art in frames: After much trial and error we've found that the best place to have a piece of art packaged for shipping is at an art framer. Our friends and neighbors at Universal Art Gallery are the best framers in the neighborhood, LA Mag says they're the best framers in LA, and as they produce most of our frames we decided we should also let them package them. Yes, they will insist we change out anything with glass for plexi-glass first... so figure that in if it's needed. Their packing is reasonable and absolutely passes the test... they even packed the glass backboard for a pinball machine for us once.... with supreme results.
Surfboards: As we are located in Venice Beach CA we are fortunate to have some excellent longtime surfboard manufacturers right in our neighborhood. These folks know how to pack a surfboard better then anyone we know. They use heavy grade cardboard, thick foam, extra cushioning and double box as needed. Even the international exporters ask us to have the surfboards boxed prior to their picking them up so if you''re purchasing a surfboard and it needs shipping choose the packing option on the order page and an additional fee $50-75., depending on size, will be automatically added to your order. The shipping fee, approximately $250 within the Continental US will be accessed and payment arrangements will be made after ordering.
Furniture: There's a broad range of particulars when shipping furniture and we've dealt with them all.
There are some pieces that can be "blanket wrapped" which means that before the item leaves our showroom floor the shipper wraps the item in heavy quilted, clean, movers blankets and puts a material like thick saran wrap around the blankets to hold them in place. This offers enough protection to safely transport most pieces.
In some cases there are extra precautions we choose to take such as boxing any extra small movable pieces, bagging pillows or securing the tambor door of a credenza, prior to the shipper arriving... anything extra precaution we deem necessary is taken to assure safe arrival of your item.
We often use Plycon Vanlines to ship the basic blanket wrapped furniture or large bulky items within the continental US. So far they've done a very good job for us. The more you ship in one load to one address the better the value and the quote includes a two man carry in, but please let us know if you have aot of stairs to climb as that will be extra.
Delicate Antiques:These often require very special packing and handling. We will be happy to discuss any specific item's shipping requirements and if we feel that your chosen purchased item requires any special handling we will be sure to let you know.
Crating Required on most items that are shipped internationally and occasionally for heavy or fragile items delivered domestically. We have craters as do our exporters. Some countries require that wood items be fumagated and crated in pressure treated wood. Our exporters will assist you in this matter.
Refund, Returns and Cancellation Policies:
