Shipping & Delivery
Thank you for choosing Maoter’s. We are committed to providing you with high-quality furniture products and reliable shipping services, ensuring your items are delivered safely and on time from our warehouse to your home in the UK. To protect your rights, please read this policy carefully before placing an order to understand all relevant shipping and delivery information.
Core Shipping Commitments
Comprehensive tariff coverage:
All customs duties on your order are covered by us – no unexpected customs fees when shopping at Maoters.
- Accurate timing by category:
Shipping times are categorized by product availability (in stock at UK warehouse / out of stock overseas) and delivery method (standard / express). For items out of stock overseas, delivery times are broken down by region for clarity.
- Full transparency and traceability:
Provides a dedicated tracking number for each shipping stage, with proactive updates at key milestones (shipping, warehouse arrival, 24 hours before delivery).
- Flexible service options:
Standard shipping is provided by default, and white glove service can be upgraded to meet different shipping needs
- Proactive Problem Solving:
Establish clear guidelines for situations like shipping delays and receipt checks to minimize communication costs.
Key basic transportation rules
We first clarify the high-priority basic requirements (address, tracking, processing time) to avoid misunderstandings:
Shipping address restrictions and special instructions
Undeliverable Addresses: Delivery to PO Boxes and Military Addresses (APO, FPO) is not supported
UK Territories: Please note this when placing your order. For example, if your address is in the Scottish Highlands and Islands or other remote islands such as the Isles of Scilly or Anglesey, please select “Scottish Highlands” or “Isles of Scilly or Anglesey” in the “Country/Region” field during checkout.
Tracking number notification
Within 1-2 business days after your order is successfully shipped, a tracking number will be sent to your registered email address so you can check the progress in real time.
Order processing time rules
Start Calculation: Processing time starts after you complete payment and your order is verified (a verification email will be sent after payment).
Effect of Order Changes: If you modify your order after placing it (for example, to change the color, size, style, product, or delivery address), the processing time will restart from the time the order details are finalized. We will send you an email with the updated estimated delivery time.
Holiday Impact: Processing time may be extended during holidays, and we will notify you in advance.
How to estimate delivery time
Formula: Estimated delivery time = handling time + shipping time (shipping time varies depending on the delivery address).
Estimated delivery date information: Calculated based on your region, selected shipping method, and includes handling and transit times.
Potential Delays: Estimated delivery dates may be affected by inventory availability, processing capacity, or unforeseen events (e.g., strikes, natural disasters). If a delay is expected, we will notify you in advance.
Delays are not our responsibility
We are not responsible for delays caused by:
- Changes/corrections to contact information or shipping address after an order has been placed.
- Re-specify products after order has been placed (e.g., color, size change).
- Customs inspection delays: Customs authorities may conduct random or targeted inspections of cross-border shipments in accordance with import and export regulations (for example, to verify that goods match declared information and comply with inspection and quarantine regulations). If your order is selected for inspection, you will need to wait for customs to complete unpacking inspections, document review, and performance testing (typically 15-40 business days, depending on customs workload and inspection complexity). Any delays during this period are part of normal regulatory procedures and are beyond our control.
- Missed first delivery attempt (if the courier attempted to deliver the item on the estimated delivery date but you missed it, requested a pickup, or provided an invalid address).
- Delivery addresses in remote areas.
Final interpretation
Shipping information will be updated regularly, and Maoters reserves the right of final interpretation of this policy.
Shipping categories and times by product type
The timeline is divided by product type and is provided with a table for intuitive reference to meet the needs of users with different purchasing needs:
Products in stock in UK warehouse (directly shipped from UK)
Shipping process: Directly shipped from UK domestic warehouse → your delivery address (no international shipping steps).
Shipping Time: Once the order is confirmed, the items will be shipped within 48 working hours.
Delivery time: 1-2 weeks for all areas of the UK (covering England, Scotland and Wales, Northern Ireland; no regional differences)
Tracking Number: 1 “Domestic Freight Tracking Number” will be provided after shipment.
Overseas non-inventory products (including customized products)
Shipping process: completed in two stages (overseas production → UK warehouse → your address).
The specific time schedule (shortened for ease of understanding) is as follows:
Shipping method | Area | Time (week) | Describe |
Standard | All UK | 7–9 | Shipping + UK domestic transportation post-production |
Standard | England | 7–9 | Further in the country, longer |
Standard | Scotland | 7–9 | Further in the country, longer |
Standard | Wales | 7–9 | Further in the country, longer |
Standard | Northern Ireland | 7–9 | Further in the country, longer |
Quickly | England | 6-8 | Priority logistics; confirm first |
Quickly | Scotland | 6–8 | Faster than standard |
Quickly | Wales | 6-8 | Faster than standard |
Quickly | Northern Ireland | 6-8 | Faster than standard |
Special Notes:
- The above time refers to the delivery time “after production and shipment”, excluding the basic production and shipment cycle.
- A processing time of 7 to 10 days must be added to the above timeline (including need confirmation and inventory verification)
- For custom orders, an additional 5 days must be added to the “7-10 day processing time”
- For fast delivery, please consult customer service before ordering (some customized items may not be eligible).
- There may be unforeseen delays due to weather, port congestion, etc. – we will keep you informed of progress in real time.

Special scenario processing
We focus on two high-frequency issues: “fees” and “receipts,” clarifying the rules and reducing disputes:
Additional charges
You will be responsible for additional shipping or storage charges if:
Shipping to remote/rural areas (beyond the default coverage area for standard shipping).
Delivery to special locations (e.g. shopping malls, construction sites, secure areas).
Delivery addresses that are difficult to reach (e.g., narrow roads, height restrictions, no-loading zones).
Delivery failed due to no recipient or invalid contact information, and the goods need to be re-shipped or stored.
Receipt Inspection and Rejection Rules
Please be sure to check the outer packaging upon receipt. If the packaging is severely damaged, please reject it immediately.
If you refuse the package, please take clear photos of the damaged packaging and send them to our customer service email (suppor@maoters.co.uk).
You have the right to inspect the items before signing for them – “inspect first, sign later” is your legal right, and you are not obliged to rush the driver’s request.
