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.

Delivery Timeline

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

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.

Parcel Shipping

Smaller decorative objects and select pieces ship via UPS or similar parcel carriers.

Parcel rates are calculated automatically at checkout based on package size, weight, and destination. These rates are determined directly by the carrier.

Tracking information will be provided once shipped.

*Complimentary shipping on parcel-sized pieces for orders over $299.

Larger antiques — furniture, oversized mirrors, and statement works — require specialized freight or white-glove delivery and are not included in free shipping.
