When investing in new outdoor furniture, one of the most common questions is, "How quickly can it be delivered to my home?" The answer depends on several key factors.
First, the availability of the furniture plays a significant role. In-stock items can often be shipped within a few business days, while custom-made or pre-order pieces may take several weeks. Standard delivery times typically range from 2 to 6 weeks.
Your location relative to the warehouse or manufacturer is another crucial factor. Shipping within the same region is naturally faster than cross-country delivery. Many retailers now offer expedited shipping options for an additional fee, which can reduce the wait to just 5-10 business days for in-stock items.
It's also important to consider the final delivery step. Some companies offer threshold delivery (to your doorstep), while others provide white-glove service, which includes bringing the furniture to your patio and even assembling it for you. This premium service may add a few extra days but offers significant convenience.
To ensure the fastest possible delivery, look for items labeled "Ready to Ship," confirm stock availability before ordering, and consider choosing a local retailer. Always review the specific delivery timeline provided at checkout and don't hesitate to contact customer service for the most accurate estimate for your specific order and location.
