Policies
Shipping Policy
At the archeía, we ensure that your unique, luxury stone furniture arrives safely and securely. Due to the size and weight of our products, we partner with trusted third-party freight companies for delivery.
Shipping Method & Delivery Type
Our furniture ships in large crates or boxes and will be delivered curbside to the address provided at checkout. This service includes delivery to the curb only and does not include in-home placement or assembly. For customers within a 62-mile radius of our Irvine, CA, warehouse, we offer white glove delivery by default, which includes in-home setup and placement.
Tracking & Coordination
Once your order has shipped, we’ll provide a tracking number. Following shipment, a representative from the intermediary distribution center will reach out to coordinate your delivery time.
Please Note: Once your package arrives at the interim distribution center, it is the customer’s responsibility to schedule a timely delivery. Failure to do so will result in the shipment being sent back, and the customer will be liable for both-way shipping costs along with a 25% restocking fee.
Local Pickup
For added convenience, customers may also choose to pick up their order directly from our Irvine, CA, warehouse. Please contact us to arrange a pickup time if this option is preferred.
