Shipping a DreamBox is a significant undertaking, given that it's a large, handcrafted piece of furniture built to order in the USA. Unlike flat-pack items, your DreamBox is assembled, inspected, and carefully prepared for its journey directly to your home. Typically, from the time your order is placed to the day it arrives at your door, you can expect the process to take approximately 8 to 12 weeks.
The Journey of Your DreamBox: From Workshop to Your Creative Space
Understanding the steps involved can help set expectations and build excitement for your delivery day-what we in the Create Room Family often call a #DreamBoxDeliveryDay, a true moment of Massive Joy.
- Crafting & Customization (4-6 weeks): After your order is confirmed, our team begins building your specific configuration. This includes constructing the cabinet, installing your chosen interior setup, and applying your selected finish. Since each piece is made to order, this careful craftsmanship takes time.
- Quality Assurance & Preparation (1-2 weeks): Every DreamBox undergoes a rigorous inspection. It's then meticulously wrapped and secured in a custom crate designed to protect it during transit-a crucial step for safeguarding the furniture and its integrated components.
- Shipping & Transit (2-4 weeks): Your crated DreamBox is picked up by a specialized white-glove freight carrier. They will contact you directly to schedule a delivery appointment. This final leg is the most variable, as it depends on your location and the carrier's routing schedule.
Tips for a Smooth Delivery Experience
A little preparation ensures your DreamBox arrives seamlessly and you can start creating quickly.
- Stay Reachable: After your order ships, the freight company will call you to schedule a delivery window. Ensure the phone number and email on your order are current.
- Prepare Your Space: Clear a path! Measure your doorways, hallways, and the intended room location to ensure the team can maneuver the large, flat crate inside.
- Inspect Upon Arrival: The delivery team will place the crate in your home. Inspect the crate for any significant signs of damage before the drivers leave and note any concerns on the delivery paperwork.
- Uncrating & Assembly: The delivery team does not uncrate or assemble the DreamBox. You'll need to remove the crate (the wood is often reusable for projects!). The DreamBox itself is fully assembled-you simply need to install the feet, attach the Crown light if purchased, and begin loading your beloved supplies.
