Shipping & Handing

At StartStartle (operated by CHRISTOPHER R PREISSINGER LLC), we are committed to delivering your furniture and home decor safely and efficiently. Whether you are upgrading your living room with a sleek new coffee table, sinking into one of our cozy lazy sofas, organizing your entryway with a durable floor coat rack, or setting the mood with a modern table lamp, we want your items to arrive in pristine condition.

This Shipping & Handling Policy outlines how we process, pack, and ship your orders.

1. Order Processing Time

Handling Time: All orders are typically processed within 1 to 3 business days (Monday through Friday, excluding weekends and major holidays) after payment verification.
Custom / Made-to-Order Items: If any specific furniture piece requires extended handling or custom preparation, it will be clearly noted on the product page.
Order Confirmation & Tracking: Once your order has been successfully processed and shipped, you will receive a shipment confirmation email containing your tracking number, allowing you to monitor your package's journey right to your doorstep.

2. Shipping Destinations & Rates

We currently ship to addresses across the United States (and international destinations, if applicable). Shipping rates are calculated dynamically at checkout based on the weight, dimensions of the product (e.g., bulky furniture items vs. compact table lamps), and your destination address.

Standard Shipping: Available for all products. Rates and estimated transit times are displayed at checkout.
Free Shipping Promotions: From time to time, StartStartle offers free shipping promotions on qualifying orders. Keep an eye on our homepage banners for active offers!

3. Estimated Delivery Times

Once your order leaves our warehouse, estimated transit times are as follows:

Domestic Shipping (United States): Typically 3 to 7 business days depending on your proximity to our distribution centers or fulfillment partners.
Please note: Delivery times are estimates and commence from the date of shipping, rather than the date of order. Transit times may occasionally be extended due to carrier delays, weather conditions, or peak holiday seasons.

4. Handling of Bulky & Large Furniture Items

Because we sell furniture and home goods (such as coffee tables, lazy sofas, and floor coat racks), certain oversized items require special handling to ensure they are transported securely:

Carrier Selection: Large furniture items are shipped via specialized freight or trusted parcel carriers (such as FedEx, UPS, or specialized freight services).
Delivery Inspection: Upon delivery of large items, please inspect the packaging and the product immediately. If you notice any major tears, dents, or structural damage to the box, please note it with the delivery driver if possible, and contact us within 48 hours with photos at service@startstartle.com.

5. Incorrect Address & Undeliverable Packages

Customer Responsibility: Please double-check your shipping address during checkout. Customers are responsible for providing accurate and complete shipping information.
Rerouting / Return to Sender: If a package is returned to us due to an incorrect or incomplete address provided by the customer, or if the package unclaimed after multiple delivery attempts by the carrier, the customer will be responsible for any reshipping fees incurred.

6. Lost, Stolen, or Delayed Packages

While we partner with reliable, industry-standard logistics providers, unforeseen shipping delays or transit mishaps can occasionally occur.

If your tracking status shows your package has been delivered, but you have not received it, please check around your property, ask household members or neighbors, and contact the local carrier office immediately.
If you still cannot locate your package, please reach out to our support team, and we will assist you in filing a claim or investigating the issue.
