Maoters Shipping Policy

We are committed to providing you with a seamless shopping experience for high-quality furniture, and all orders come with free shipping throughout the entire process. Below is a detailed explanation of our shipping policy to help you clearly understand the full delivery workflow.

1. Shipping Area

Currently, we only offer shipping services to the contiguous United States (the 48 mainland states). Shipping to Alaska, Hawaii, Guam, Puerto Rico, and other U.S. territories is not available at this time.

2. Shipping Process & Methods

After your order is processed, the furniture will first be transported via international ocean freight, then transferred to our U.S. warehouses (assigned to either California or Georgia based on your delivery address to optimize efficiency). Once the items arrive at the corresponding warehouse and pass inspection, we will coordinate with local delivery carriers to ship the products to your doorstep—no shipping fees will be charged to you at any stage.

• Basic Delivery Service: Curbside delivery (carriers unload furniture at your front door, apartment lobby, or driveway; in-home moving, stair access, or assembly are not included, and no extra fees apply).
• Premium Delivery Service: White-glove delivery (for large furniture—includes room-specific delivery, stair access (confirm in advance if no elevator), unpacking, packaging disposal, and basic assembly (e.g., attaching table legs)). This service requires a separate fee; consult customer service for a customized quote when ordering.

3. Timeframes (All in Weeks, Excluding U.S. Federal Holidays)

The full delivery cycle has four key stages. Specific timeframes are as follows, with free shipping covering all stages:

Stage	Timeframe	Details
Order Processing	1–2 Weeks	All items (including custom-made ones) go through production, strict quality checks, and secure packaging. Complex custom orders (e.g., oversized furniture) may take longer—we will notify you separately.
Int’l Ocean Freight	5–7 Weeks	After shipment, goods take 5–7 weeks to reach a U.S. port (includes export/import customs clearance and ocean shipping). Delays from severe weather, route changes, or customs inspections will be communicated promptly.
Customs & Warehouse Transfer	0.5–1 Week	After passing U.S. customs, goods are transferred to our U.S. warehouse. Rarely, extra time may be needed for extended customs checks or port congestion.
U.S. Local Delivery	1–2 Weeks	After warehouse inspection, local carriers deliver to your address. Time varies slightly by region (faster for West Coast, slightly longer for East Coast).
Total Delivery Time	7–10 Weeks	Sum of the above stages. Due to large furniture production and international shipping, the cycle is relatively long—confirm this timeframe before ordering (free shipping is unaffected).

4. Additional Fees (Only for Special Cases; Basic Delivery is Free)

The following scenarios require extra fees (not shipping fees, but special service/scenario costs—we confirm the amount with you first):

• Delivery to remote areas (over 50 miles from the nearest local carrier hub, covering extra transport costs).
• Delivery requiring stair access (no elevator, goods need to go to floors above the first—extra labor costs).
• Special delivery needs (e.g., restricted entryways, vehicle height limits (below 3.3m), or deliveries to malls/construction sites—covering coordination costs).
• Truck-inaccessible addresses (e.g., narrow streets, no temporary parking—costs for small vehicle transfers).

5. Customs Duties & Taxes

Our product prices already include all U.S. customs duties and import taxes, and free shipping applies throughout. You do not need to pay extra fees for customs clearance or transportation upon delivery.

6. Order Tracking

To check your order status:

1. Use your unique order number on our official website’s “Track Order” page (link: https://www.maoters.com/track-order).
2. Contact online customer service with your order number for real-time updates.

Notice on Logistics Update Delays

Logistics information may have slight delays—tracking details usually appear only after the carrier picks up the shipment and delivers it to the warehouse. If no updates are found temporarily, contact customer service for the latest details.

7. Important Reminders

• Most furniture is custom-made. Once production starts, modifications or cancellations may not be possible (confirm order details carefully; no shipping fee refunds needed as shipping is free).
• Delivery progress, tracking updates, and important notices are sent to your registered email—check your inbox regularly (including spam).
• If a refund is requested for special service fee issues, only the service fee is refunded; standard bank handling fees are deducted (unrelated to free shipping).

Refusal and Damaged Packaging Guidelines

1. Refusal & Damaged Packaging Policy
