Shipping Policy

Last updated: June 2026

We are committed to delivering your kiln and studio equipment safely and efficiently. Please review our shipping policy below for information on processing times, delivery estimates, and carriers.

Shipping Destinations

We currently ship to addresses within the contiguous United States (48 states). At this time, we do not ship to Alaska, Hawaii, US territories, APO/FPO addresses, or internationally. If you have questions about shipping to a specific location, please contact us.

Order Processing Time

Orders are processed within 1–3 business days after payment is confirmed. Business days are Monday through Friday, excluding federal holidays.

You will receive a confirmation email with tracking information once your order has shipped. Processing times may be longer during high-volume periods such as holidays or promotional events.

Shipping Methods & Estimated Delivery Times

Once your order ships, estimated delivery times within the contiguous United States are:

Item Type Estimated Delivery Carrier

Shipping Costs

We offer free standard shipping on all orders shipped within the contiguous United States. There are no minimum order requirements.

For large or heavy items requiring freight delivery, additional delivery arrangements may apply. Any freight surcharges, if applicable, will be communicated prior to shipment.

Freight Deliveries (Large Kilns)

Full-size kilns and large studio equipment are shipped via freight carrier and require curbside delivery. Please note:

  • A freight carrier representative will contact you to schedule a delivery appointment window
  • Curbside delivery means the carrier will deliver to the curb or driveway only; assistance moving the kiln inside is not included
  • Please inspect the packaging upon delivery before signing. If damage is visible, note it on the delivery receipt and contact us immediately
  • Someone must be available to accept the delivery during the scheduled window

Order Tracking

Once your order ships, you will receive a shipping confirmation email containing your tracking number. You can use this number to track your shipment via the carrier's website (USPS.com, UPS.com, FedEx.com, or the freight carrier's portal).

If you have not received a tracking number within 5 business days of placing your order, please contact us at info@electricpotterykilns.com.

Lost or Delayed Shipments

If your shipment appears lost or has not arrived within the estimated timeframe, please contact us. We will investigate with the carrier and work to resolve the issue as quickly as possible. Claims for lost packages must be submitted within 30 days of the expected delivery date.

Damaged Shipments

If your order arrives damaged:

  • Take photographs of the damaged packaging and product before unpacking
  • Contact us within 7 days of delivery at info@electricpotterykilns.com or +1 (415) 410-1832
  • Do not discard the original packaging, as it may be needed for a carrier claim

We will work with you to arrange a replacement or refund for items damaged in transit.

Address Accuracy

Please ensure your shipping address is entered correctly at checkout. We are not responsible for orders shipped to incorrectly entered addresses. If you need to correct your address, contact us immediately after placing your order. Address changes after shipment may not be possible.
