Shipping Charge: The Shipping Charge is a flat rate per bed charge based on the State/Zone it is being shipped to. The shipping charge is shown at the bottom of each order form. We have divided the country into four Shipping Zones (see map below). When ordering a bed, all options and accessories have Free Shipping no matter how many accessories or options you add to your order.
Build Time: We custom build each bed to your exact specifications. We don't have any beds in stock. The Build Time is the amount of time it takes us to manufacturer your bed in a schedule along with other orders at the same time. If you order well in advance you may enter your requested delivery date on the order form. Orders paid by check take four extra days for the check to clear.
Rush Processing: Need it fast? For an additional fee you may request our optional Rush Processing. Rush Orders get a priority in the Build Schedule and our crew works overtime nights and weekends to get Rush orders out faster. The Rush Processing Fee is shown at the bottom of each order form.
Transit Time: Once shipped, orders will arrive based on the Transit Time Map below.
FedEx Shipping: We ship by FedEx Home Delivery which delivers Monday - Sunday. Multiple quantity and large custom orders may ship by truck depending on location.

Please Note. To meet the delivery dates for the Special Delivery Options we need to have the packages to your local FedEx terminal 2 days in advance of your delivery date. Please keep the shipping schedule and transit times in mind when requesting your delivery date.
Please double check your shipping address. If we need to change an address after your order has shipped, there is a $20 per package charge billed by FedEx. With a typical order being 6 packages, an address change will cost you around $120.
Date Certain and Appointment Delivery may not be available in some areas.
We ship by FedEx Home Delivery with no signature required. If the FedEx driver has delivered to your address in the past it is likely they will leave the packages without a signature. If the driver feels the area is not safe and secure they will leave a door tag with information on how to set up a new delivery date. When your order ships we will email you the FedEx Tracking Number and you will know the estimated delivery date. You can also place a note on your door the day of delivery telling the FedEx driver he can leave the packages without signature.
For customers that have selected Appointment Delivery, once your packages have reached your local FedEx terminal they will call you to schedule a delivery date & time. Keep in mind FedEx will request a 2 hour window to make the delivery in.
FedEx does not call the customer prior to the delivery.

We recommend (if possible) having it shipped to your home early during the summer, and you take it to college with you. Move in day for most students is a stressful experience for both the student and family. With the traffic jams, waiting for elevators, hundreds of students all moving in at the same time, getting everything organized, etc., the last thing you want to do is to wait for a FedEx delivery to arrive on time. It would be very helpful if you can get the loft partially assembled at home before you arrive on campus. Setting it up at home first will allow you to see how everything fits together and when you get to school setting it back up will be quick and easy. While its home you may want to paint or customize it to fit your personality. We know this is not always possible, so if you want it delivered directly to your college, first check with your college's receiving department to verify whether they will accept packages for you before you arrive on campus. Please note, college receiving departments do not work on the weekend or major holidays.
Most colleges have a central receiving location where they accept all packages and they do not allow deliveries directly to the individual dorm rooms. For security purposes, they don't want delivery trucks driving around campus and they will not allow delivery drivers to enter dorm facilities. Once it is delivered to a central receiving location, they will contact you to have you pick it up. Check with your college to see what their package receiving policy is.
Yes, FedEx offers residential delivery every day, Monday - Sunday. They also offer Date Certain and Appointment Delivery options for an additional fee. For Standard and Date Certain Delivery the delivery time is not guaranteed, it can arrive anytime. For Appointment Delivery, once FedEx has received the packages at your local terminal, they will call you to set up a specific date and time (2 hour window) for delivery. Please note, most college dorm deliveries go to a central receiving location they do not work weekends or holidays. If you are moving in to a dorm on a weekend we recommend you have it shipped to your home first and bring it with you to college.
Due to extensive import duties on furniture we do not ship directly into Canada, however we do ship to locations on the US side of the border that will hold shipments for local pickup. According to BetterDollar.com website, there is no import duty for Canadian residents importing bedroom furniture. This may vary by province so you should contact your local office to determine what is applicable to you. You will need to pay your Canadian sales tax when entering into Canada. Typically we ship to a local USA side parcel pickup or duty free shop or a shipping/post office box store such as The FedEx or UPS Stores.
Please contact the pick-up location first to arrange for delivery and then place your order with us to ship it to them.
