As you know, dinnerware is fairly heavy.... Our goal is to deliver your dinnerware safely at the least possible cost to you.

We have our shipping cost chart set up to ship 300 lbs or less by UPS. This would roughly be 8 boxes or less. If we ship UPS, we will double pack all chinaware to insure safe delivery. We find the UPS is very good. Transit time for UPS is:

If the shipment is over 300 lbs, we'll usually ship commercial carrier and wrap the chinaware boxes on a skid. This will insure safe delivery at the lowest possible cost. As a rule, we won't request lift gate service unless you request it and are willing to pay the extra charge.

If for some reason, either of these methods don't make sense, we'll let you know before we do anything. We can accommodate expedited service, please feel free to call us.

Please be assured that we're people with a great deal of common sense. If we have any questions about your order or have any issues regarding shipping, we'll pickup the phone and call you or drop you a quick email.

Many thanks!
