Shipping Policy
Rates
For orders totaling $999.99 and under (prior to any discounts/ promos), our standard shipping rate is 12% of your order total. For orders $1,000 and above (prior to any discounts), orders ship free. Standard shipping is for curbside delivery only. For example, if your order is $100, your shipping cost will be $12 (subject to tax where applicable).
Uhuru hoodies + tote bags ship free via small parcel.
Standard shipping rates are eligible for uhurudesign.com orders (not contract or trade orders). If you would like to inquire about shipping to AK, HI, international destinations, or trade sales logistics, please contact us at hello@uhurudesign.com.
Shipping terms vary for trade and contract orders. At this time, we cannot ship to APO/FPO/DPO/PO boxes.
Standard Shipping
Standard shipments will deliver via small parcel carrier (FedEx), or curbside via our freight partner, depending on size. For example, a pedestal may ship small parcel, but a credenza will be delivered curbside via our freight partner.
Items may ship separately and with different delivery methods. We will contact you with any questions we may have if your order has split shipments.
Curbside Delivery
For curbside delivery, you must be present to meet your driver. If you need help with delivery inside your home and packaging removal, we encourage you to inquire about room of choice delivery options by reaching out at hello@uhurudesign.com. We are currently not offering White Glove installation.
Products that ship as freight will be delivered with our contracted partner. Our team will deliver your order to curbside, which does not include unpacking your order or bringing it inside. You may be left with the shipping pallet or crate depending on your item(s).
Our freight partner will contact you to schedule a delivery time, from M-F between the hours of 9am to 5pm. You must be present to meet the driver and collect your order during your scheduled delivery appointment. If redelivery of your order is required due to a missed delivery appointment with our carrier, an additional fee of $150 or more will apply. You are responsible for evaluating the packaging and noting damages upon receipt.
Inside Delivery
In response to COVID-19, Inside Delivery + Installation service has been suspended in most areas.
Depending on your location, we may be able to offer inside delivery (room of choice) at an additional charge. This does not include installation. An authorized individual must be home during your scheduled delivery window to accept and inspect your items and sign the delivery receipt.
Our delivery team professionals are not permitted to move furniture currently in your home, not allowed to move or set up electrical equipment, and not allowed to assemble any pieces that have to be installed in or on existing structures. For example, they will not install a wall-mounted unit (such as a mirror) or ceiling light fixture. We recommend you hire a professional to install our wall-mounted designs. To facilitate delivery, please clear the space where furniture or items will be placed prior to delivery.
Should you select packaging / debris removal as a service, if you’re not 100% sure about your purchase, we recommend that you retain all original packaging. That will make it possible for you to return it to us.
Ships in + Lead Time
We aim to design and manufacture our products with the best care. On each product page, the ‘ships in’ time frame outlines how long your product will take to reach our warehouse. From the warehouse, shipping and delivery time is usually 10-14 days. These lead times vary per finish/sku. You will receive an email when your order is ready to ship or ready to be delivered.
Please note that if you placed an order for products currently not in inventory or not in the Quick Ship Collection, the shipping time may vary. The "ships in time" is displayed on the product page, above the "Add to Cart" button. If you place an order with items of mixed lead times (some in stock, some on longer lead times), the Quick Ship items will still ship separately, within the displayed time frame. -
Trade + contract shipping
Trade and Contract customers have varying policies. Your discounts will be outlined by your account manager at the time of your pro account creation. Generally, shipping costs are quoted and charged separately, after your order has been placed. Alternatively, trade + contract customers have the option to arrange their own logistics or pick up from our warehouse. Please contact info@uhurudesign.com for more details.

If you have any questions about item dimensions, please let us know.
Remote Deliveries
We try our best to get all orders delivered in a timely manner, but if you live in a remote area, there may be delays. Let us know in advance if you live in a challenging delivery location and we will work with you to come up with a solution.

What to expect on delivery day
For curbside freight or white glove, an authorized individual must be present during your scheduled delivery window to accept and inspect your items and sign the delivery receipt. Curbside delivery requires you to meet your driver and collect your items at your curbside. -
