DELIVERY OPTIONS

Delivery within GTA: Except for Special Orders & Workroom Orders,Customer may elect for Canada Post or NEXT BUSINESS DAY COURIER DELIVERY within the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) for most in-store products purchased online for nominal fee indicated at online check-out. We are closed Mondays & Sundays so orders are only processed between Tuesdays & Saturday. You must enter both your email address & phone number in the fields provided at online check-out as our courier needs alternate methods to contact you in case of delivery issues. Failure to do so may result in additional delivery fee.

Delivery Outside of GTA: We also offer shipping outside of the GTA with Canada Post. Our Associate will contact you should the approximate delivery charge calculated during online check-out differs significantly from the actual charge required. The reason for the difference is the estimated rate at check-out does not account for the protective wrapping, bundling and boxing of goods which may result in heavier, larger parcel or multiple parcels. Our varying types of products cannot be uniformly packaged to ship out at a "one cost fits all".

Delivering Larger Items: Furniture, Rugs 5x8 or larger & other large items are subject to a different delivery charge and process to account for weight, size and special handling by either a Courier or with our own Delivery Crew. You are welcome to speak with our Associates or email us shop@kendallandco.ca to inquire about our fees, delivery options and policy prior to your online/in-store purchase.

Delivery of furniture and large rug starts at $150 depending on location within GTA, size & number of items and other factors such as, house versus condo, elevator versus stairs, ground floor versus upper/lower floors, whether we need to move existing rugs/furnishings out of the way, complexity of assembly, etc. KENDALL & Co only offers white-glove (when possible) or contactless delivery service within the GTA. Unfortunately, we are unable to move existing furniture, (re)mount art/mirrors or (dis)connect any electrical items unless otherwise arranged with KENDALL & Co prior to delivery. 

Our White-Glove Service includes the assembly, setup and removal of all packaging materials for products purchased from KENDALL & Co; it does not include removal or disposal of existing furniture, rug, etc.

For delivery of large items to other regions and special handling request, we do maintain a relationship with trusted couriers to ensure a safe, smooth delivery of pieces to your home.
