How Long Does Shipping Take? A Buyer's Guide to Ordering Handmade Marble

Ordering something hand-carved is different from ordering something off a shelf. Here's exactly how long it takes, broken down by handling time and delivery β€” no vague "usually a few weeks" answer.

Because every Artreestry piece is hand-carved and hand-finished from natural marble, each order gets individual attention before it ever leaves the workshop. That means your total timeline has two parts: handling (getting your order ready) and transit (getting it to your door). Here's both, by destination.

Before It Ships

Handling & Processing Time: 2–4 Business Days

Every order is inspected, cleaned and polished to our finishing standard, carefully packed, and photographed for our records before it leaves the workshop. This takes 2–4 business days. Orders placed on weekends or US public holidays begin processing the next business day.

Inspected

Every surface, edge, and finish is checked for quality before packing.

Cleaned & Polished

Carefully Packed

Protective foam and custom-fit packaging built for heavy, fragile natural stone.

A hand-carved piece can't be rushed off an assembly line. The extra few days at the start is what makes the marble worth having in the first place.

By Destination

Delivery Times, Handling Included

Destination Transit Time Total Time (incl. handling)
United States 4–7 business days 6–11 business days
United Kingdom 5–9 business days 7–13 business days
Canada 5–9 business days 7–13 business days
Australia 6–10 business days 8–14 business days
Rest of World 7–14 business days 9–18 business days

All timelines are in business days and already include the 2–4 day handling window above. Delivery estimates may run longer during peak seasons (November–January) or due to customs processing outside our control.
