Wekaape designs and makes solid-wood furniture and delivers to every country listed above. This page explains how Wekaape ships orders and solves delivery issues for furniture purchases. All prices are in USD, and nothing is due on arrival — import tax, duties, brokerage, and customs processing are included at checkout (Delivered Duty Paid where eligible).

How Wekaape packs and ships furniture

Wekaape prepares each hardwood piece for a tough trip with firm boards, dense foam, and strengthened corners. Large panels carry clear “This Side Up” markings to guide handlers. Smaller items travel with parcel carriers; larger or heavier pieces go on specialized furniture trucks. At checkout you’ll see the full USD total (freight, handling, fuel, taxes, duties, and brokerage if applicable). No payment is taken at the door.

Notes for clarity

Estimated window: Checkout shows an arrival range that combines lead time and transit time.
U.S. sales tax: State/local tax appears at checkout where required and is part of the USD total.
Tax & duties: Delivered Duty Paid (DDP) for eligible international destinations — no customs charges on delivery.
Payments: No COD. Accepted methods appear at checkout (major cards, PayPal, supported wallets) and are always charged in USD.
Address checks: Carriers validate addresses. If anything is missing or restricted, Wekaape will request a correction before dispatch to avoid delays.

Where Wekaape delivers

Wekaape ships to the United States, United Kingdom, France, Germany, Australia, Spain, Canada, Italy, Belgium, and Portugal. Wekaape cannot deliver to PO Boxes, APO/FPO/DPO, or certain remote territories (for example Puerto Rico, Guam, U.S. Virgin Islands, and some outlying islands in Europe or Australia). A standard street address is required for safe truck access and lift handling. If an address is outside the list above, has vehicle limits, or involves tight stairs or small elevators, contact Wekaape first so options and any third-party add-on services can be reviewed.

Carriers and service levels

Parcel routes use UPS, FedEx, USPS (limited small U.S. parcels), and DHL Express for international lanes. Bulky or heavy furniture travels by furniture freight with a rear-lift truck and curbside drop-off at ground level. Curbside service does not include in-home placement, stairs, assembly, or packaging removal. Freight partners usually call or text to set a delivery window, and palletizing or stretch-wrap may be added for protection.
For some higher-value shipments, an adult signature (18+) may be required; your tracking email will say when this applies. Parcel carriers typically make up to three attempts before holding at a local facility or access point; ID may be required for pickup. If “Authority to Leave” is available and selected, risk transfers after a successful scan at the delivery point (not available when a signature is required).

Lead time vs. transit time

Lead time is the period before pickup used for inspection, packing, and labeling. Transit time begins after the carrier collects the order. Business days are Monday–Friday (EST); U.S. federal holidays are excluded. International routes may need extra time for security and customs. Severe weather, local holidays, labor actions, or network backlogs can add 1–3 business days. Address changes after dispatch may require a reroute fee and can delay delivery.
Cut-off: Orders confirmed before 2:00 PM EST usually enter processing the same business day.

Rates and timeframes (USD, furniture only)

All amounts below appear at checkout. Flat rates and free-shipping thresholds are fully inclusive. Recipients pay nothing at the door.

Solid wood is dense and often oversized, so carriers may charge by size as well as weight. Dining tables, media units, and other large pieces commonly travel on furniture freight with a rear lift and cargo insurance. Multi-item orders may ship in separate boxes to reduce risk; when useful, boxes are banded to a single pallet. Wekaape subsidizes part of the freight, and reinforced packing and the total due are shown clearly at checkout.

Taxes, duties, and customs (international)

For deliveries to UK, FR, DE, ES, IT, BE, PT, AU, and CA, Wekaape ships DDP (Delivered Duty Paid). Import VAT/GST, duties, brokerage, and customs processing are included in the USD total at checkout. Do not pay the driver. If anyone requests payment at delivery, contact Wekaape immediately.
U.S. orders: Any required state/local sales tax appears at checkout and is included in the USD total.
Documentation: A commercial invoice, packing list, and HS codes travel with each international shipment to support fast clearance.

Order processing and dispatch

Most furniture moves into final checks and packing within 1–2 business days. Orders confirmed before 2:00 PM EST usually begin the same business day; later confirmations start the next business day. Pre-order or made-to-order items depart after completion, with an estimated ship-by date shown in the order confirmation. If a cart contains items with different lead times, Wekaape may ship ready items first or hold to consolidate; the confirmation will state which method applies.
Support hours: messages receive a reply within 1 business day (Mon–Fri, EST).
Fraud & verification: For account safety, Wekaape may request order verification (address or payment checks). Missing information can delay dispatch.

Origin and staging facility

19613 Temple Ave, South Chesterfield, VA 23834 is Wekaape’s primary dispatch point for furniture shipping to the U.S., UK, FR, DE, AU, ES, CA, IT, BE, and PT. Freight terminals can generally hold shipments for 3–5 business days; storage beyond that window is billed at carrier cost.

Access, placement, and assembly

Many items ship partly disassembled to protect key parts and make setup easier. An illustrated guide and a basic tool (often an Allen key) are included. Typical assembly time is 20–30 minutes with two adults working on a clean, soft surface.
If your building has tight turns, small elevators, gated entries, stair carries, or truck limits, notify Wekaape before shipment so options can be arranged. Room-of-choice placement, stair carries, packaging haul-away, and exact-time appointments are available as upgrades at third-party rates. Possible carrier-cost fees include missed freight appointments, rear-lift refusals, address corrections after dispatch, and re-delivery. If refusal is due to visible carrier damage noted with the driver, Wekaape will handle the claim and no re-delivery fees apply.

Tracking and updates

When an order leaves 19613 Temple Ave, South Chesterfield, VA 23834, Wekaape emails a confirmation with a tracking link. Please allow 24–72 hours for scans to appear. International pallets may show “label created” until a terminal assigns the freight. If there is no movement after 72 hours, contact Wekaape so the carrier can be checked. The Estimated Delivery window on the tracking page updates as the shipment moves through hubs.

Damage, loss, or other issues

Please inspect packages at delivery. If an item arrives damaged, notify Wekaape within 72 hours and include the order number plus clear photos or a short video of the outer carton, inner packing, and affected areas. Note visible damage with the driver when possible and keep all packing until next steps are confirmed. For small cosmetic issues, Wekaape can often send replacement parts or a touch-up kit quickly.
If tracking shows no progress for 7+ days, or delivery has not occurred within 14 business days from ship date, contact Wekaape. Once the carrier confirms loss, Wekaape will send a replacement at no charge or issue a full refund in USD. Shipments refused or returned as undeliverable due to repeated missed appointments or incorrect addresses may return to sender; Wekaape can re-ship after address verification and payment of any return, storage, or re-delivery fees at cost.

Changes and cancellations

Orders that have not entered packing or shipped can be canceled — please reach out as soon as possible, ideally within 24 hours of purchase. After handoff to the carrier, cancellation isn’t available. After delivery, see Wekaape’s Return & Refund Policy. For international orders to UK, FR, DE, ES, IT, BE, PT, AU, or CA, cancellation isn’t available once customs clearance is complete. Address changes after dispatch may incur reroute fees and cause delays.
