RETURNS & SHIPPING

Marble, slate, and hardwoods are heavy and breakable! When calculating shipping & handling rates I had 4 major goals:
1-package safety & handling
2-insurance & tracking
3-arrival in a timely fashion
4-cost to customer

I researched the major carriers: USPS, Fed-Ex, & UPS. I discovered that no ONE is best for all my needs. For example, flat rate USPS works best for the marble coasters but not for serving trays. Fed-Ex has better rates for some packages, but charges for boxes. So, my commitment to you, the customer, is that I will use the carrier that is most efficient for your particular order. And, I decided to structure rates dependent upon ordering amounts.
