Shipping policy
SHIPPING:
Free Shipping / Standard Shipping: Orders ship within 1-3 business days unless the item is on pre-order or backorder.
Expedited Shipping: If your order included expedited shipping, we will ship your order the same day if ordered before 11 am central time. Orders placed after 11 am central time will be shipped the next business day. Pre-orders will be shipped when they become available.
Signature Requirement for High-Value Orders
For security reasons, all orders over $500 will require a signature upon delivery. This helps ensure that your package is safely received and not left unattended.
Shipping costs paid to White Elm at checkout are paid directly to the carrier at the time of shipment. If the carrier misses a delivery date, we are not able to return the shipping costs paid unless the carrier refunds them to us. If the carrier misses a delivery date, we will work with the carrier on your behalf to file a claim for reimbursement. If the carrier reimburses the shipping cost to us, that refund will be passed on to you at that time.
Delivery dates for expedited shipping are NOT guaranteed. Please check the UPS Service Guarantee and FedEx Service Guarantee page for more information. For weekend delivery, please check FedEx Weekend Delivery page and UPS Weekend Delivery page. Please check USPS, FedEx and UPS service bulletins for any service delays. WHITE ELM IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR CARRIER DELAYS.
ORDER EDITS & CANCELLATIONS:
We can modify or cancel your order as long as it has not yet shipped. If you need to make a change, please email support@shopwhiteelm.com immediately with your order number and the details of your request.
Once an order leaves our warehouse, we are unable to edit or cancel it. However, you are welcome to return the item once it arrives by following our standard Return Policy.
Refunds for canceled orders are processed immediately on our end; however, your bank or credit card provider may take a few business days to reflect the funds in your account.
If you have any special requests regarding your shipping, please contact us at support@shopwhiteelm.com prior to ordering.
We offer free USPS Ground Advantage, FedEx Economy or UPS Ground Economy shipping on all US orders of $150 or more. For orders under $150, there is a flat $6 shipping fee. If you require special shipping instructions to your address, please contact us first at support@shopwhiteelm.com or add your instructions to the 'notes' section during checkout. You also have the option to upgrade your shipping for faster delivery speed at checkout.
International orders are shipped via DHL Express unless another service is chosen.
All data entered by a customer for an order is the responsibility of the customer. We are not responsible for incorrect information entered such as name, address, email address, or item ordered. If you have entered the wrong information and need to change it, please contact us before your order is shipped at support@shopwhiteelm.com. We are not able to change your shipping address after your order ships.
Please ensure your address is correct when ordering. All orders are sent to the address provided. If your order is returned to us due to an undeliverable address, we will refund you the price paid once the package is received by us, minus the billed amount for the return shipping by the carrier. If you would still like to have the item you ordered, you must place a new order with the correct shipping address. Shipping costs are not refundable.
Please ensure your order is being shipped to a secure location. White Elm is not responsible for lost, stolen, or damaged packages or contents. If you feel your delivery location may not be secure and you would like to add a signature requirement, please select this option at checkout. An additional fee may apply.
If you did not add the shipping warranty at checkout, you can call your local post office or UPS to open an investigation into your missing package and also file a claim for a lost package at the USPS or UPS website.
If you remove the shipping warranty at checkout, you are assuming full responsibility if your package is lost, stolen, or damaged. Some carriers include $100 of insurance. That is the maximum you can be reimbursed through the carrier if you remove the shipping warranty from your order. If your package was lost, stolen, or damaged, you must report it to us within 3 days of it being marked as delivered or 7 days of the last tracking event.
We strongly recommend that you purchase the White Elm shipping warranty at checkout which will protect you against lost, stolen, or damaged packages. If you purchased the warranty and experienced a lost, stolen, or damaged package, please reach out to us at support@shopwhiteelm.com right away. If you experience a lost, stolen, or damaged package and the shipping warranty is attached to your order, please DO NOT file a claim with USPS or UPS. Doing so will void your shipping warranty and you will have to seek reimbursement from the carrier. Please reach out directly to us or our shipping warranty partner.
