Delivery and Returns
Delivery + Shipping
Shipping rates are set up for as many options as possible, but sometimes the combination of destination, weight or current inventory blows the computer's mind and you just have to reach out to us. If you would like to arrange for shipping outside the US or check for other options with your specific order, please contact us at office@alasaw.com. All requests for international shipping are subject to approval.
We make every effort to ship fulfillable orders within 5-7 business days. If your item is made to order, please refer to the item’s product page for current lead times. We do not ship on weekends or holidays. Please allow 10 days for your order to arrive. This may change during peak times. Alabama Sawyer is not responsible for service transit times.
Expedited shipping rates requested after 2 pm EST will be processed the next business day.
Alabama Sawyer does not deliver. We ship our product in a variety of ways, depending on the size, weight, quantity, destination and requests of the buyer.
Small Parcel
Small parcel shipping refers to individual packages weighing less than 150 pounds sent through regular carriers like UPS, USPS and DHL. This type of shipping adds 3-15 days in addition to lead time, depending on location.
White Glove
White glove delivery is a service, that we contract with professional companies, to pick up the piece, protect and transport to the home or final destination. Items are delivered inside, placed, possibly assembled and all waste is removed. This method adds 7-21 days in addition to lead time, depending on location.
LTL
LTL can be the most economical way to ship large items. Less than truckload / LTL shipping refers to a truckload shipping method used for transporting a shipment which is larger than a parcel but light enough or small enough that it doesn’t require a full truckload. Free space on the truck is shared by other shipments from other shippers or carriers and likely will change trucks at various distribution centers. Items are crated or palletized. For delivery, there is limited communication about when they will arrive and mostly likely they will simply leave the palette at the curb. They also may charge for waiting or extra unplanned services.
Hybrid
With some items, furniture is crated or palletized, transported via LTL, but the last leg of the delivery includes white glove service.
Customer Pick-up
Store pickups are available for pickup Monday-Friday 8am-3pm. It is always best to pre-arrange the time. Please note that clients or third party couriers must provide their own packing materials and load their own vehicle. We are unable to provide packing materials or blanket wrapping, unless previously arranged.
Shipping to a Warehouse or Storage Facility
Your piece will arrive in a wooden crate, it will be you or your receivers responsibility to unpack and bring the piece inside your home.
Alabama Sawyer requires that all shipments be inspected and approved within 2 business days of receipt of merchandise by the client or the warehouse facility and to alert Alabama Sawyer of any shipping damages or discrepancies within that time frame. Alabama Sawyer will not be held responsible for any damages or discrepancies after the 2-business day time period. Alabama Sawyer is not responsible for any damages that occur while in the care of a warehouse or storage facility or additional transit thereafter.
International Shipping
International orders are subject to duties and taxes determined by the country to which they are shipped. These fees are the responsibility of the recipient to pay upon delivery. Orders refused at the point of delivery will incur return shipping charges, as well as a restocking fee equivalent to the duties and taxes levied upon the original shipment.
We are required by law to list directly on the package the full retail value of items ordered and contained therein. We cannot mark any package as a gift to avoid customs and duties fees. On rare occasions, customs agents may delay the delivery of, open, and/or examine the contents of packages at their discretion.
