Shipping & Returns

Our team is committed to ensuring your order arrives safely and efficiently. Please review the information below for details on shipping timelines, returns, and important policies. If you have any questions, our Customer Care Team is happy to assist at info@spottedwhale.com.

General Shipping Information

We currently ship within the contiguous United States. Shipping fees are calculated at checkout based on the size and weight of your items.

Parcel-sized orders ship via UPS, FedEx, or USPS. Please note there may be a brief delay between label creation and carrier pickup.

Delivery timelines provided on product pages are estimates and may vary due to carrier or vendor delays.

Furniture Shipping

Many furniture pieces ship directly from our vendors and may require additional handling time. Estimated ship times are listed on each product page.

Furniture may be delivered via third-party freight carriers during standard weekday delivery hours. The carrier will contact you directly to schedule delivery when applicable.

Please inspect all furniture carefully upon delivery. If visible damage is present, refuse the shipment and note “damaged” on the delivery paperwork. Failure to report damage at the time of delivery may prevent us from filing a claim on your behalf.

All damage claims must be reported to info@spottedwhale.com within 24 hours of delivery.

  • Tags must be attached
