Shipping & Delivery
How will my order ship?
We will ship your order using the fastest and most reliable method. Generally our smaller, lighter products will ship via FedEx or UPS. Larger, heavier packages ship via a truck freight carrier. Ex: Estes Express, R&L Carriers, or YRC Freight.
When your order ships, we will notify you via email. Included in your email will be a tracking number for your shipment. We encourage you to track your package online or on the phone with the carrier. Most companies can provide an estimated delivery date. Be sure to contact us if anything seems unusual with the progress of the shipment.

FedEx Shipments:
Our smaller, lighter products ship via FEDEX. Depending on how close you are to the shipping warehouse, your item will arrive between 2 and 5 business days after it leaves the warehouse. FedEx does not typically require a signature and will leave the package in a suitable place near your door.
FedEx Damage: Please notify us within 24 hours at info@roombythetree.com or call (407) 864-1545
Freight Truck Carrier Shipments:
Larger, heavier items or packages ship via freight carrier. As defined by the trucking industry, Home Delivery means "curbside delivery" in a residential area. You may need assistance to move the package indoors or you might unbox the shipment and carry each piece inside individually. Some drivers will assist in getting a shipment into a garage or carport.
For Truck Freight shipments, delivery usually takes between 3 and 6 days from when your order leaves the warehouse. When your shipment arrives at a nearby terminal, you will be contacted by the freight carrier to schedule a delivery appointment. Most companies offer appointment windows (usually 2-4 hours) between 8:00 am and 5:00 pm EST, Monday through Friday.
NOTE: The most important thing to remember about truck freight is that when you sign for the delivery you are legally accepting the product as delivered in good condition. Therefore, it is extremely important that you inspect the product prior to signing the delivery receipt. If there is damage to the carton or the product, please write "CONTENTS DAMAGED" clearly on the delivery receipt that the driver is asking you to sign, then sign. This insures that your damage issue will be easily resolved.
