How are small items delivered?

In most cases, deliveries will be made by FedEx. Since signatures are not required for delivery, the decision to leave your package at your door will be left up to the delivery carrier. If you have any special delivery instructions, write a note with the delivery date and place it on your door. Include your name, request, and tracking number.

In some cases, if an item is slightly larger, we may drop it at a dry location as near as possible to your door. Please note that items in small parcels are not brought inside the property.

The delivery team will unload the item(s) and place it on the curb outside your home. Once it’s been dropped off, it’s yours! You may want to ask a family member or friend for an extra hand to move it.

Basic Outside Front Door Drop-Off

The delivery team will unload the item(s) and leave it in a safe place outside your home (front door, porch, or outside your garage). Once it’s been dropped off, it’s yours!

You’re not required to be home to accept the delivery, and a signature is not needed. Your item(s) will be delivered as long as the delivery team determines the area is secure. For apartments and condos with a front desk, your item(s) will be dropped off there. For any apartments or condos that have outer doors only, your item(s) will be left outside the front door. Please reach out to the local delivery agent directly if you need to reschedule your delivery. Their contact information can be found in the email detailing your delivery date and time window.

Can large items be stored before I receive delivery?

Once the storage request expires, your item will be auto-scheduled for the next available delivery date. Wayfair cannot hold items for more than 15 days, and must be delivered upon the soonest delivery date after the 15 day mark. If not delivered, return fees will apply. Please contact us to request a storage hold.

Most orders qualify for free shipping. Here's how it works:

Orders under $35 have a flat shipping rate of $4.99. On some larger items, your delivery may default to Full Service Delivery for $99.99, however you will have the option to downgrade this if you wish.

You'll see the "Free Shipping" message displayed under the price of the product while browsing and next to the image(s) on the product page. If your order doesn't qualify for free shipping, any associated shipping costs will be listed in your Cart and during Checkout.

We cannot ship to P.O. boxes or military APOs.

Additional shipping charges may apply for Alaska, Hawaii, and U.S. Territories.
