Shipping & Returns

Orders in the 48 contiguous United States are shipped via UPS Ground, usually within 3-5 business days, with exceptions for furniture, rugs, and made-to-order tile. You will receive an email notification with tracking information when your order ships. We do not ship to APO or PO Boxes due to UPS shipping restrictions.

Wallpaper samples and gift cards ship free, and occasionally, lightweight items may incur a lower shipping rate. Our mainland US shipping rates are determined by the order's subtotal (before any discounts) and what region it is shipping to. Please note that orders shipping to Hawai'i, Alaska, US Virgin Islands, Guam, and Puerto Rico are calculated using overseas shipping rates. Also note that shipping rates for Heath Tile (both made-to-order and ready-to-ship) are calculated based on order weight.

Yes! Overseas shipping rates vary according to the destination country and are calculated after you enter your 'ship to' address during checkout. Hawai'i, Alaska, US Virgin Islands, Guam, and Puerto Rico are calculated according to overseas shipping rates. International tax and duties are not included in our shipping cost; the recipient is invoiced for this once the shipment reaches its destination. If you do not see your country on our list of 'ship to' destinations, contact us at customerservice@heathceramics.com.

Due to the made-to-order nature of most furniture, or rugs, lead times vary (listed in their product descriptions). Take a look at the FAQ for the Nomad Collection. Don’t hesitate to call us if you still have questions.

We use fully recyclable ExpandOS for our packaging to eliminate plastic and Styrofoam waste (you can recycle ExpandOS with your regular paper or cardboard recycling). Sensitive hands, be mindful — some ExpandOS have sharp edges.

Learn more about how we ship, with sustainability in mind.

We don’t offer gift wrapping for shipped orders, since the safety of your products is our number one priority in how we design our packaging for traveling. To securely pack shipments, we use Expandos, which are triangular box fillers made from post-consumer chipboard. They’re fully recyclable, as are the cardboard boxes used to ship your order. Expandos work exceptionally well to deliver ceramics safely, with minimal waste, but don't mix so well with gift wrap—one cuts the other. Read more of our Shipping Philosophy here.

Any breakage in shipment must be reported to Heath Ceramics within 5 days of receiving the shipment. Please email Customer Service with your transaction number or packing slip number and a photo of the breakage. A photo is necessary to reship your product.

In major metropolitan areas, the UPS Access Point network now offers local parcel retrieval if UPS is unable to deliver on the first attempt. UPS will leave a note indicating location and time for pickup (customer photo ID is required). You can also enroll in UPS’s free My Choice program to reroute your packages to an Access Point site in advance.

During online checkout, you’ll have the option to choose your delivery method. Select UPS shipping or In-Store Pickup. Note that certain “Special Order” items are not currently eligible for In-Store Pickup, because they ship directly from our vendors, not from our warehouse. If you have any Special Order items in your cart, In-Store Pickup will be disabled as a Delivery Option.

There’s no additional cost for In-Store Pickup, and it saves the cost of shipping (for you and the environment).

You’ll receive email notifications about each step (three in total). First, you’ll get an order confirmation after you place your order.

You can stop by anytime during our open hours.

We’ll hold your order for two weeks at our pickup location, and if we don’t hear from you we’ll give you a few reminders before we refund any abandoned orders and return the merchandise to our warehouse.

It takes us a few days to process your order depending on how many other orders are in progress. Because orders are fulfilled in our warehouse, not in our showrooms, they must be brought to the pickup location, which takes extra time.

All orders, In-Store Pickup and otherwise, are fulfilled directly from our warehouse, not from our showrooms. The occasional large or bulky item may need to be picked up directly from our San Francisco warehouse. If this is the case for your order, our Customer Service team will reach out directly.

Special Order items (any product with a shipping lead time, like 6-12 weeks) are typically made-to-order and ship directly from the maker, so we are not able to offer them for In-Store Pickup. Additionally, certain bulky items may need to be picked up directly from our warehouse, rather than from a showroom. If this is the case for your order, our Customer Service team will reach out directly.
