If you are uncertain if your item(s) have one of the above extended shipping time frames please contact us before placing your order as many of these items can not be canceled once placed and/or may result in a restocking or cancellation fee.

Furniture, lighting, and some over sized items will ship via LTL Freight and will be delivered curbside. Some of these oversized pieces may not fit on the liftgate and will need to be offloaded from the truck with the customers help at time of delivery. 

All orders are shipped via UPS, FedEx or USPS with shipping costs being calculated by the weight of the item(s) purchased, the method of shipping chosen at checkout, and the destination address. International orders will not have taxes and duties included in the shipping cost; international taxes and duties will need to be paid separately by the customer. We are obligated to declare all items as merchandise and are not able to mark items as "gift". Unfortunately, we cannot ship to P.O. boxes.

* Please note several of our product lines feature standard free shipping (within the 48 contiguous states only). International orders are not eligible for free shipping. If you order an item with free shipping and are outside the 48 contiguous states you will be billed for shipping or the order will be canceled with a 10% cancellation fee deducted. If you order an item that offers free shipping in addition to one or more regular items, you will be charged only for the shipping costs for the regular shipping item(s). If you would like your free shipping item(s) shipped using an alternative method please contact A Cottage in the City for a shipping quote.
