The shipping time for urban outdoor furniture varies significantly by retailer and item availability. Many popular items ship within 1-2 weeks, while custom or made-to-order pieces can take 8-12 weeks. Always check the product page for the most accurate "Ships In" or "Estimated Delivery" timeframe.
For delivery to an apartment building, you typically have several options. Standard parcel shipping via carriers like FedEx or UPS is common for smaller items. These packages are often left in your building's lobby or mailroom. For larger furniture sets, White Glove delivery or freight service is usually required. This involves a scheduled appointment where a two-person team delivers the items directly to your apartment, often including placement on your balcony or patio. Some retailers also offer in-store pickup or delivery to a local hub for collection. It's crucial to review the specific delivery options at checkout and coordinate with your building's management regarding large delivery access.
