THE NATURE OF MADE-TO-MEASURE (M2M) ORDERS
Most of our products are made-to-measure by the inch to your specifications with rad, sweat and tears from your favorite shelf geeks, except for a small selection of our builders grade brackets. This means that in most cases your order is sized and colored just for you and we cannot take it back and sell it to someone else in the same way you can return a TV to Costco and they can sell it to the next guy. The nature of this type of transaction is that you as the buyer have a bit more responsibility to make sure you are ordering exactly what you want. Please plan your project carefully. Although changes and mistakes happen–and we totally understand that they do–It is difficult for everyone when we’ve started an order and there are changes or cancellations.Time and money gets wasted. Feelings get hurt. Sandwiches go stale and uneaten. Milk spills. All these things that can be avoided most of the time.
To prevent discomfort like this, we have set up our entire business to help you get exactly what you want. This includes a beautiful and information-rich website, great how-to's and youtube content and especially an insanely talented customer experience team that is ready and available to help you. Please use these resources anytime. We honestly love to help you get all of your questions answered so your order goes smoothly from start to finish. Seriously. We geek out on easy transactions and happy customers. So use us.

During days 2-3 after your order has been placed, we have already purchased materials and started cutting them up. To cover these costs, If there are any changes during days 2-3 there will be a 15% time/material fee plus any additional charges specific to your request.

BULK PURCHASING
Shelf System and Accessory product pages now offer a bulk pricing discount. To qualify for lower pricing, use the following guidelines during your purchase experience:
Purchase multiple shelves of the same style and save. Your shelves do not have to be the same size or color; just from the same product “family.” An example of a product family would be Aksel, Tromso, Lloyd, etc.
- How to save: If you buy more than three Aksel wood floating shelves (any combination of Traditional, RADius, Inlay or LED) you will qualify for additional savings. Your discount will be automatically triggered when the same shelf name appears 3 times in your cart.
- If you buy different types of products such as one Aksel floating shelf, one Lloyd wall shelf, and one Peggy hook this does not qualify for bulk savings.
Purchase multiple accessories and save. Accessories include all hooks and hangers, bookends, picture hangers, cabinet pulls, and magnet boards. Accessories can be mixed in any combination to qualify for bulk pricing.
- How to save: Purchase a Mosey Magnet board, 2 Popsicle hooks, and an Ellie bookend for your home office and save 5%. Add an additional 4 cabinet pulls for your home office and save 10%.
- 3 or more Accessory category items will automatically be discounted in your cart.
- Purchase 3-5 items and save 5% on your order
- Purchase 6-9 items and save 8% on your order
- Purchase 10+ items and save 12% on your order
Bulk purchasing discounts do not stack with Shelf Army or other Pro discounts. Bulk purchasing discounts rarely stack with other promotions. Please reach out to our customer service department at 949-244-1083 if you have questions about a qualifying purchase. They will be happy to assist you.
*All shelf hardware, screws, Toggler anchors, pencils, magnets, dry erase pens and other add-on items do not stack for a bulk discount.
LEAD TIMES
Lead times are defined as the time it takes to produce your order from receiving it to when it leaves our shop. Shipping time is the time it takes to get from our shop to your door. They are two different things. The combination of the two is how long your order takes from placing it to arriving at your door. We are in control of only our lead time. Our carrier partners are in control of their shipping time.
Lead times begin once the order has been finalized and paid for. If there are any edits or adjustments made to the order, the lead time resets and starts again once the adjusted order is finalized and paid for.
We want you to be stoked through our entire process and fast lead times are part of it. We do our best to be as accurate in our lead times as possible. Due to uncertain market conditions we maintain the right to adjust lead times when necessary. We will notify you if for some reason your lead time changes.
- Selecting a faster shipping speed does not change the lead time. It just makes the shipping time shorter.
- Lead times are different for each product we sell. Please visit the product page to see any product’s lead time. Your order may contain several products with different lead times. We will ship all your items together when the product with the longest lead time is completed.
- We will expedite production, in other words, dramatically shorten any given lead time for a rush fee of +40% on order total. Please contact us for any expedited orders.
SHIPPING
Free FedEx Ground shipping is available within the contiguous United States when the order is greater than $250 and does not exceed any of our other free shipping rules below:

SHIPPING DAMAGED, STOLEN OR LOST
Shelfology is not responsible for any items lost, stolen or damaged items during shipping. Although we wish to punch any dirty thief in the face along with you, the dirty thief is the one who is responsible for replacing your package, not Shelfology. If the carrier decides to go “Roddy Piper” crazy on your box Shelfology is not responsible for damages incurred during shipping. While we are certainly sympathetic to the crappy nature of damaged, stolen or lost packages, we can not replace it for free.
By default we are offering you peace of mind with a low cost shipping insurance solution through Route. For those willing to roll-the-dice and take a risk you can easily opt out of this during checkout. We want our customers to have the best possible delivery experience.

Once they’ve delivered it to your door it is your responsibility to get it. If you did NOT opt out of Route insurance you can know that any issues during shipping or on your porch is one-click away from submitting a claim and reordering.
