Shipping Policy
Last updated: 08/09/26
This Shipping Policy explains how orders placed through Mercer & Gray are processed, shipped and delivered.
Please read this policy carefully before placing your order.
Shipping Locations
We currently ship to addresses within [United States / contiguous United States / list exclusions].
At this time, we may be unable to deliver to:
-
PO boxes
-
APO/FPO addresses
-
Alaska, unless stated otherwise
-
Hawaii, unless stated otherwise
-
Puerto Rico, unless stated otherwise
-
US territories, unless stated otherwise
-
Certain remote locations
-
Locations with restricted carrier access
If we cannot deliver to your address, we will contact you.
Fulfillment
Our products may be shipped directly from our fulfillment partners, suppliers, warehouses or logistics providers.
Some furniture items may be dispatched from US fulfillment centres, including facilities located in New Jersey and California.
Your order may arrive in more than one shipment if you order multiple items.
Processing Times
Order processing times vary depending on stock availability, warehouse processing, carrier scheduling and fulfillment partner operations.
Typical processing time for in-stock items: [1–2 business days].
This processing estimate does not apply to made-to-order pieces. Please see the “Made-to-Order Pieces” section below.
Processing times are estimates only and are not guaranteed unless expressly stated otherwise.
During busy periods, promotional periods, holidays, severe weather events or supply chain disruption, processing may take longer.
Shipping and Delivery Times
Estimated delivery time for in-stock items after dispatch: [2–7 business days].
This delivery estimate does not apply to made-to-order pieces.
Delivery times are estimates only and are not guaranteed unless expressly stated otherwise.
Delays may occur due to:
-
Carrier delays
-
Freight delays
-
Weather
-
High shipping volumes
-
Address issues
-
Access restrictions
-
Warehouse processing delays
-
Supply chain disruption
-
Customer unavailability
-
Events outside our reasonable control
We will do our best to keep you updated if we become aware of a significant delay.
Made-to-Order Pieces
Products identified as made to order are produced especially for your order and have longer lead times than in-stock items.
Our usual estimated delivery timeframe for made-to-order pieces is 8–12 weeks from the date your order is placed, including production, preparation, shipping and delivery, unless a different timeframe is clearly stated before purchase.
Due to ongoing global conflicts and potential supply chain or shipping disruptions, delivery for some made-to-order products may take 12–16 weeks rather than our usual 8–12 weeks.
Where an extended timeframe is expected, we will clearly display the applicable estimate on the affected product page before purchase. Please review the product-specific delivery information before placing your order.
These timeframes are estimates based on the information available when you order. If your order is affected by a delay, we will contact you with an update and follow the notification, cancellation and refund provisions below.
An update to this policy does not automatically extend the timeframe agreed for an existing order. The made-to-order status of an item does not remove any cancellation or refund rights that apply by law when shipment is delayed.
Thank you for your patience and understanding while your piece is being made and delivered.
Shipping Timeframes and Delays
We aim to ship orders within the timeframe shown before purchase on the product page or checkout page and reflected in your order confirmation.
If no shipping timeframe is stated, we will ship within the timeframe required by applicable law. For orders covered by the FTC’s Mail, Internet, or Telephone Order Merchandise Rule, this is generally within 30 days.
If we cannot ship within the stated or applicable timeframe, we will notify you within the legally required timeframe. We will explain the delay, provide a revised shipping estimate—or explain if one is unavailable—and give you the option to accept the delay or cancel the unshipped item for a full refund of the amount paid for it, including any applicable shipping charges.
Where consent is required to continue with a delayed order, we will obtain it. If the required consent is not obtained, we will cancel the affected unshipped item and issue a prompt refund within the applicable legal timeframe.
No cancellation or restocking fee applies to cancellations under these delay provisions.
If an order has already shipped and becomes significantly delayed, please contact us. We will investigate with the carrier, keep you informed and provide any remedy required by applicable law.

For large furniture, tracking may update differently from standard parcel deliveries.

If you order more than one item, your order may arrive in separate shipments and on different dates.
You will receive tracking information where available.
Separate shipments do not necessarily mean that any part of your order is missing.

Some large items may require a delivery appointment or carrier contact before delivery.
If the carrier contacts you to schedule delivery, you are responsible for responding promptly and being available at the agreed time.
Missed delivery appointments may result in additional charges, including redelivery, storage, handling or return fees.
