Covid-19 Shipping Delay
We are so happy you love our product. Our product is made all over the world, and unfortunately, due to the continued global impact of Covid-19, our artisans are experiencing delays in production and shipping.

We promise we are trying our hardest to catch up to the high demand and get you your product as soon as possible. We value your business and thank you for your understanding.

We promise it will be worth the wait.

Methods of shipping
Canada Post is our major carrier. We will ship your order from either our distribution center in Los Angeles or from one of our store locations throughout Canada to reach you in your requested shipping timeframe. When appropriate your order may be shipped through Canada Post SurePost, which uses the USPS to make the final delivery to your home. We also use a variety of other major carriers to support our larger deliveries. Items purchased together will not necessarily be shipped together. All ship times are in business days.

Curbside Shipping: Some oversized items may be too large for Canada Post shipping. Those items will be shipped to you via Freight Delivery Curbside Drop Service. You will sign for the delivery at the curb. Curbside Delivery can take up to two weeks to arrive once shipped from our warehouse. Items needing Curbside Delivery will be noted in the product description.

If there is a delay in the shipping of part of your order, we will notify you of the items(s) that may be affected. Also, please note, depending on the size of the item ordered and the number of pieces requested, all items ordered may not arrive in the same box or on the same day.

Furniture Deliveries
Akritihomez has four different shipping methods for delivering furniture. The method employed depends on distance from a Akritihomez store, delivery zip code, and type of furniture. Not all options will be available for all orders. All furniture deliveries require a signature at the time of delivery.

It is the customer’s responsibility to measure to be sure that the items purchased will fit through all doorways, halls, stairwells, elevators or any other passageways. View our guidelines on measuring for proper fit of any furniture. None of the delivery services offer a hoisting service.

A delivery charge will be assessed for each time that a delivery is made to a single address. All furniture deliveries require a signature at the time of delivery.

White Glove Delivery: An unlimited number of eligible furniture items can be delivered for a single flat rate per shipping address. Delivery rates are based on the driving distance from a Akritihomez store. Our skilled White Glove delivery team inspects and prepares each item before carefully assembling it (when necessary) and placing it in your home. A $25.00 fee applies for all orders requiring a bed to be assembled. For deliveries with more than two flights of stairs (20 steps), an extra “stairs” charge will be assessed.
