Shipping & Handling

When items ship from our location, we go the extra mile in packing your item(s) so they will arrive in immaculate condition.

 Ragsdale almost always ships your item(s) via United States Postal Service (USPS). This is true for smaller, lighter items, as well as items shipped internationally, if the item is too big for the post office we almost always use Greyhound Package express which requires the customer be close to the Greyhound Station.  If preferred we also use USA direct which is a shipping / furniture moving service which delivers door to door over the entire continental USA.

We recognize that the carefulness of delivery services and personnel can vary.   Delivery damage can occur and is but we have become experts in the arena, and our damage rates are below 2%.   If and when damage occurs, Ragsdale will do everything possible to help with the situation and either repair or replace the item as soon as possible. The same applies to items that may become lost in shipment.

 Time-Frames

Please remember that we are a small craftsman style art studio.  We usually have our most popular items in stock and can deliver them with in 2 weeks.  Depending on the time of year our backlog can be as much as 8 weeks.  

Large Items

Many items that we offer are too large and heavy for standard shipment methods and must be shipped via freight delivery. Shipping costs for freight delivery is based upon the following factors:

1) Item size and weight
2) Ship to location (business or residential)
3) Optional residential lift gate delivery


Items that must be shipped via freight delivery is by quote and based upon the customers origin and the complete ship to location address.  Please contact us for a shipping quote. We do not typically mark up freight delivery costs. Note: shipping to a business with a loading dock is typically less cost than a residential delivery.

Someone must be at the delivery location to accept the delivery. Most carriers will contact the recipient prior to delivery in order to make a delivery appointment (additional charge may be required for advanced notification).

Some customers prefer to pick up their item(s) at our woodshop. In this case we would contact you when your item(s) are finished. We will then facilitate a convenient time for pick up.

Note: Michigan Residents- State sales tax will apply to any item(s) picked up at our woodshop (currently 6%).

Please be careful when placing an international order online.  You may want to e-mail us first to check into shipping, and weather or not we can ship the larger items to you country.  Some countries have very poor mail service, and we reserve the right not to ship to those countries unless the customer has pre-paid, and takes full responsibility for the possible loss of the merchandise.
