Shipping & Delivery
Magdalene Manor
Last Update: 20 April 2026
Each piece at Magdalene Manor is sourced with intention—and shipped with the same level of care. Due to the age, scale, and material nature of antiques, shipping methods vary by item. We work with trusted carriers to ensure your piece arrives safely, whether by parcel, freight, or white-glove delivery.
Complimentary Parcel Shipping
We are pleased to offer complimentary shipping on eligible parcel items for orders over $299.
This applies to smaller pieces that can be safely shipped via standard carriers (UPS or similar), including:
Tabletop and serving ware
Small décor and objects
Select artwork
Exclusions:
Furniture, oversized items, large mirrors, and pieces requiring freight or white-glove delivery are not eligible for complimentary shipping.
Parcel Shipping (UPS & Standard Carriers)
For items under the parcel threshold:
Shipping is calculated at checkout based on size, weight, and destination
Orders are typically processed within 3-5 business days
Tracking information will be provided once your order ships
Freight & White-Glove Delivery
Estimated Delivery Timing
Larger pieces—including furniture, oversized artwork, and large mirrors—require specialized transport.
We offer:
Freight shipping
White-glove delivery
Shipping costs are determined based on:
Size and weight of the item
Delivery distance
Large furniture, oversized items, and fragile pieces ship via private furniture delivery or freight carriers that specialize in transporting antiques and furnishings.
Shipping estimates are determined using:
size and weight
distance from our Texas studio
delivery location and access
handling and protection requirements
For planning purposes, we often calculate freight using regional delivery zones to provide fair, consistent pricing.
Protective Packing & Handling
Certain pieces — particularly large mirrors, artwork, marble, glass, stone, or especially fragile antiques—require specialized packing or custom crating to ensure safe transport.
When additional protection is necessary, a handling or crating charge may be added to cover the materials and labor required to properly secure the item for shipment.
These measures may include:
custom wood crating
reinforced packaging
specialty padding or stabilization
Any applicable crating or handling costs will be clearly indicated on the item’s ‘additional information’, prior to checkout.
These charges reflect the actual cost of materials and preparation, and are not marked up.
Our goal is that your piece arrives safely and beautifully, just as it left us.
Freight deliveries are coordinated along planned driver routes to keep costs reasonable while ensuring each piece is transported safely and securely.
Our typical delivery window is approximately 4-6 weeks, depending on destination and carrier availability. Many deliveries arrive sooner; however, we prefer to provide a conservative estimate rather than rush transport or risk unnecessary handling.
Clients are responsible for:
ensuring the item fits their space
providing clear and safe access
notifying us in advance of stairs, gates, or special requirements

Shipping Philosophy
Magdalene Manor offers both freight delivery for larger furnishings and parcel shipping for smaller items. Because our inventory includes one-of-a-kind antiques of varying size, weight, and fragility, shipping is calculated individually for each piece.
Magdalene Manor does not add markups to freight or shipping charges. Delivery fees are simply passed through at cost based on carrier pricing and logistics requirements. We do our best to estimate accurately and avoid surprises. In the event of small variances between the quoted amount and the final carrier cost, Magdalene Manor absorbs those differences rather than issuing additional charges.
Freight & Furniture Delivery
Large furniture, oversized items, and fragile pieces ship via private furniture delivery or freight carriers that specialize in transporting antiques and furnishings.
Because each antique varies in size and destination, freight delivery is calculated individually, rather than built into product pricing.
Shipping estimates are determined using:
size and weight
distance from our Texas studio
delivery location and access
handling and protection requirements
For planning purposes, we often calculate freight using regional delivery zones to provide fair, consistent pricing.

Local Pickup
Complimentary local pickup is available by appointment only.
Magdalene Manor operates as a small studio. Clients are responsible for coming prepared to transport their purchase safely.
Buyers must provide:
appropriate vehicle
moving blankets or padding
straps or tie-downs
any necessary assistance for lifting and loading
While light assistance may be offered, Magdalene Manor cannot provide moving services or heavy lifting.
Responsibility Transfer
Once an item is loaded and leaves our premises, all responsibility transfers fully to the purchaser. Magdalene Manor is not liable for damage, loss, or injury occurring during or after pickup.
