US CompanyGlobal NetworkMultiple Shipping Options We are a U.S.-registered brand with authorized partners across the USA (including California & New Jersey), the EU (including Germany & Netherlands), and the GCC (including Qatar). Our promise: handcrafted quality, clear timelines, and transparent logistics.

1) Production Lead Times & Dispatch

• Custom / Made-to-Order: Lead times are stated on your quote/order and start after written approvals and deposit. Complex projects may ship in phases.
• Standard / Ready-to-Ship: Dispatch per product page window; if temporarily out of stock, we’ll share the next available date.
• Timeline Ownership: We provide an estimated ship-by range; actual dispatch depends on approvals, materials, and queue position.

Tracking details are emailed upon hand-off to carrier or partner hub.

2) Typical Transit Windows (Guidance Only)

Guidance only — customs, remote areas, carrier capacity, or weather may extend these ranges.

3) Shipping Services

• Parcel Services (small items): Economy / Standard / Expedited options where available.
• Freight & Palletized (large items): Curbside delivery by appointment; liftgate commonly included for residential deliveries.
• White-Glove / Inside Delivery: Available on request and subject to site access (stairs, elevators, doorway clearances). Additional fees apply.

White-Glove/Installation: Separately quoted; dependent on site readiness and access windows.

4) International Shipping & Incoterms

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, international shipments are arranged on DAP (Delivered at Place) or a similar Incoterm. Under DAP:

• We arrange transportation to the named destination.
• Duties, taxes, and customs clearance fees are the customer’s responsibility, payable upon import.
• Risk of loss/damage passes when goods are made available at the named destination before unloading.

Other Incoterms (EXW, FOB, CIF, DDP) can be quoted on request. Domestic U.S. orders may incur applicable state taxes at checkout or invoicing.

5) Duties, Taxes & Import Fees

International orders may be subject to import duties, VAT/GST, brokerage, or other fees set by the destination. These charges are not included in product or base shipping prices unless explicitly stated and are the customer’s responsibility.

Customs Assistance: We can provide HS code guidance and standard documentation. Final duties/taxes are assessed by local authorities and payable by the recipient.

If import fees are refused and the shipment is returned or abandoned, no refund is due for product or shipping. Re-shipment may be arranged at additional cost if feasible.

6) Address Changes, Appointment & Delivery Requirements

• Address Changes: Request in writing before dispatch. After dispatch, reconsignment fees may apply per carrier tariff.
• Signature/ID: Some deliveries require adult signature and ID verification.
• Customer Presence: Be available for scheduled windows. Missed appointments may incur re-delivery or storage fees.
• Site Access: Ensure clear access (truck approach, doorway widths, stairs, elevators). White-glove requires pre-approved site conditions.

Storage & Redelivery: When carrier free-time ends, storage, re-delivery, and re-consignment fees are chargeable to the customer. We will share rates in writing for approval.

7) Packaging, Insurance & Transit Damage

• Protective Packaging: We crate/box to freight standards, especially for large pieces.
• Insurance: Valuable shipments are typically insured for declared value via carrier or third-party insurer.
• At Delivery: Inspect outer packaging before signing. Note visible damage on the delivery receipt/BOL.
• Report Window: Report transit damage or loss to the carrier and us within 48 hours (provide clear photos/video and retain all packaging). We assist with claims; remedies for transit issues are through the carrier/insurer.

Risk allocation follows the agreed Incoterm. If you need alternative insurance or risk allocation, request it before shipment.

8) Customer Responsibilities & Failed Delivery

• Readiness: Be prepared to receive, inspect, and, where applicable, to unload (per Incoterm/service level).
• Retain Packaging: Keep all packaging for inspection if a claim is needed.
• Failed Delivery: Incorrect address, refusal, unpaid duties/taxes, or missed appointments may result in return, storage, or re-delivery fees billed to the customer.
• Abandonment: If re-delivery cannot be arranged within 30 days of first attempt, orders may be treated as abandoned with no refund.

9) Product Inspection & Defects (Post-Delivery)

Every item is quality-checked before dispatch. After delivery, please inspect your product promptly. If you believe there is a manufacturing Defect (not transit damage), email hello@kidswoodstore.com within 7 days with photos/video and your order number.

• Acceptance on Delivery: If no written defect notice is received within 7 days, the product is deemed accepted in good order (subject to normal handcrafted tolerances).
• Natural wood variations, minor cosmetic nuances, and normal handcrafted tolerances are not Defects.

Remedies for verified Defects are described in our Return & Exchange Policy.

10) Delays, Force Majeure & No Date Guarantees

We work hard to meet estimates, but we cannot guarantee delivery on a specific date. Events outside our reasonable control (severe weather, customs, strikes, carrier issues, supply constraints, force majeure) may affect timelines. In such cases, we will communicate proactively and adjust plans as needed.

11) Governing Law & Consumer Rights

Governing Law & Venue: State of Wyoming, USA (without regard to conflict rules). Venue in competent state or federal courts located in Wyoming, USA.

Consumer Protection Preserved: Where non-waivable consumer protections apply (e.g., certain EU/UK rules), those rights remain intact.
