Shipping Policy

Welcome to Quirky Chair. We are dedicated to providing you with a seamless shopping experience, ensuring that your journey from browsing quirkychair.com to furnishing your home is as smooth and enjoyable as possible. This Shipping Policy is designed to provide you with comprehensive information about how we handle the delivery of your cherished home furnishings and decor. Please take a moment to review these guidelines to understand what you can expect once your order is placed.

At Quirky Chair, we understand that when you purchase an item, you are not just buying a product; you are investing in the comfort and aesthetic of your home. Therefore, we have established a robust logistics framework designed to handle everything from delicate decorative accents to substantial furniture pieces with the utmost care and professionalism. Our goal is to bridge the gap between our digital showroom and your physical living space with efficiency and reliability.

Order Processing and Handling

Once you place an order on quirkychair.com, our team immediately begins the process of preparing your items for their journey. We understand that excitement builds the moment you click “checkout,” and we work diligently to transition your order from our inventory to our shipping partners as quickly as possible.

Please be aware that while we strive for speed, the nature of home furnishings requires careful handling. Large furniture items, such as chairs, tables, and sofas, often require specialized packaging to prevent damage during transit. This may involve custom crating or reinforced boxing. Similarly, fragile decor items like mirrors, vases, and lighting fixtures are packed with extra padding to ensure they arrive in pristine condition.

During peak seasons, holidays, or special promotional events, please anticipate that order processing times may be slightly longer than usual due to high demand. We appreciate your patience and understanding during these busy periods as we work to fulfill every order with the attention to detail it deserves.

Shipping Destinations and Restrictions

Quirky Chair is proud to serve customers across a wide geographic area. We currently offer shipping to the contiguous United States. However, due to the size and weight of certain furniture items, as well as logistical constraints with our carriers, there may be restrictions on where specific products can be delivered.

For example, oversized items may not be eligible for delivery to remote locations, PO Boxes, or military addresses (APO/FPO). If you are ordering a particularly large or heavy item, our system will automatically verify if your address is within the serviceable area during the checkout process. If your location is restricted for a specific item, we will notify you before you complete your purchase.

We also reserve the right to limit the quantity of items shipped to a single address to prevent resale or commercial use without prior authorization.

Shipment Tracking and Notifications

We believe in transparency. Once your order has left our warehouse, we will send you a shipment confirmation email. This email will contain your tracking number and a link to the carrier’s website, allowing you to monitor the progress of your delivery in real-time.

For furniture deliveries, the carrier may contact you directly to schedule a specific delivery window or to provide updates on the truck’s location. It is crucial to keep an eye on your email and phone communications during this stage to ensure you are available to receive your package.

Delivery Procedures and Receipt

The delivery process for home furnishings is distinct from standard parcel shipping. Depending on the size of your order, your items may arrive via a freight carrier rather than a standard postal service.

For large furniture items, our standard shipping service typically includes delivery to the curb or the first dry area at your residence (such as a garage or lobby). Please note that unless you have specifically purchased “White Glove” or “In-Home” delivery services, our drivers are generally not responsible for moving items up flights of stairs, navigating elevators, or placing items in specific rooms.

It is imperative that you or an authorized representative are present at the time of delivery to accept the shipment. If you are not present, the carrier may leave the item at their discretion or return it to the depot, which could result in re-delivery fees.

Inspecting Your Delivery

We take great pride in the condition of our products when they leave our facility. However, the rigors of transit can occasionally result in damage. To protect your investment, please inspect all packages thoroughly upon arrival.

Check the exterior of the boxes for any signs of severe impact, water damage, or tearing. If your shipment includes visible furniture or glass, examine these items for cracks, scratches, or structural issues before the delivery driver leaves.

If you notice any damage to the packaging or the product, do not accept the shipment, or if you have already accepted it, note the damage clearly on the delivery receipt (the “Proof of Delivery” or POD). Take photographs of the damaged packaging and the item itself. You must report any visible damage to Quirky Chair customer support within a short timeframe of delivery to initiate a claim. Failure to note damage on the delivery receipt may limit our ability to assist you with a replacement or repair.

Lost or Stolen Packages

While rare, packages can sometimes be marked as delivered by the carrier but not immediately found at the delivery location. If your tracking information states that your package has been delivered but you cannot locate it, we recommend checking around your property, including porches, garages, and with neighbors.

If the package remains missing after a thorough search, please contact us so we can assist you in investigating the matter with the carrier. Quirky Chair is not responsible for packages that are marked as delivered and subsequently stolen from the delivery address.

Changes to Shipping Address

It is your responsibility to ensure that the shipping address entered at checkout is correct. Once an order is placed, we may not be able to change the shipping address if the order has already been processed or handed over to the carrier.

If you realize you have made an error in your address, please contact us immediately. If the package has already shipped, you may need to work directly with the carrier to redirect the package, which may incur additional fees that are the responsibility of the customer.

International Shipping

Currently, quirkychair.com focuses its operations on domestic shipping within the United States. We do not currently offer direct international shipping to other countries. However, we understand our international friends may love our style. You may utilize third-party freight forwarding services at your own risk. Please be aware that Quirky Chair is not responsible for any customs duties, taxes, or import fees that may apply to such shipments, nor can we guarantee the condition of items once they leave our custody to a third-party forwarder.

By placing an order with Quirky Chair, you acknowledge and agree to the terms outlined in this Shipping Policy. We reserve the right to update or modify this policy at any time without prior notice to reflect changes in our logistics partners or operational procedures. We thank you for choosing Quirky Chair to help make your house a home.
