If you have questions about delivery and lead times, please email us at info@sobusobu.com.

We offer customers the option to pick up their order at our West Berkeley warehouse. There is no cost associated with this option. We do need 2 business days to let our warehouse pull and prep your order.

STANDARD DELIVERY

We are currently offering complimentary standard delivery for decor, smaller furniture items, and rugs, regardless of the number of items in your order and only within the 48 contiguous United States. Please note that delivery will be via UPS or FEDEX for smaller items. This service does not include bringing items into your home, set up or assembly of items, or removal of packaging materials. Please plan accordingly and have help on hand to bring items inside if needed. 

WHITE GLOVE DELIVERY

We automatically charge $195 for white glove delivery for large, heavy, and/or bulky items if your order total is under $2,500 (pre-tax). Larger shipments like tables, beds, and sideboards will arrive by freight delivery and will typically arrive on a wooden pallet. Orders for smaller items under $2,500 can opt into white glove delivery for a $195 fee. We are currently offering complimentary white glove delivery on all orders over $2,500 (pre-tax). White Glove Delivery includes delivery of all items inside the room of your choice, unpacking, assembly and removal of all packaging and cartons. The fee we charge is an incredible value as SOBU absorbs the majority of the white glove delivery fee actually charged to us by the delivery company. It has a minimum value of $450. Please note, our white glove delivery is not offered on rugs and all rugs ship via Standard Delivery.

Our delivery crew will be contacting you ahead of time to schedule a Monday through Friday delivery appointment that is convenient for you.
