Shipping and Pre-order FAQ
How do pre-orders work?
BoxThrones are big and heavy, so it's difficult for us to keep them in a warehouse. Instead, we operate on a pre-order basis and BoxThrones are made to order once every few months.
We have production "waves" where we pre-sell a limited amount of products before or after the boat has left, and it arrives in the US about 3-4 months after pre-orders close.
Questions? Feel free to reach out to us at info@storemyboardgames.com!
Where do you ship to?
We currently ship only to the contiguous 48 states of the US. Our regional stores:
Europe: www.storemyboardgames.co.uk
Canada: www.storemyboardgames.ca
Asia: For Asia orders, please email info@storemyboardgames.com with the subject line "ASIA ORDER" and we will ship straight from the factory to you as part of the current manufacturing wave
How long does shipping take?
We ship out of San Francisco, Dallas, and New York. If parts of your order are in stock, or after all products arrive in the US, shipping will commence. Shipping time depends on your proximity to the warehouse, but it will typically take 3-10 days.
What is your refund policy?
Because of the expense in shipping BoxThrones (we're sending hefty metal furniture across the continent!), we cannot accept returns unless they are due to our mistake in picking/shipping (i.e., you received the wrong item or color in your order). We will send you a return label in this case and then reship the correct item to you once the error item has been returned to UPS. Please note we cannot cancel an order once it has already shipped to you.
