Delivery details
Production and delivery deadlines
Arpel works on a production-to-order basis, this means we produce each single piece after receiving an order with the raw materials we regularly keep in stock.
To always meet the market demand we keep some finished products in stock to have them ready for delivery at any time. This is the case for example for our Tatami mats, some dimensions and compositions of our Futon mattresses and some sofa beds and other accessories.
Therefore, the delivery deadlines can differ from product to product.
On the every product page on our website you can find an estimate of the dispatch date for that product. This deadline is an estimate of the time necessary to produce the goods and hand them over to our couriers. It does not include the time necessary for the courier to deliver the goods to your address. When an order contains more than one product, the dispatch date to consider is the longest one among those indicated for the single products in the order.
When Arpel produces custom made pieces of furniture such as partitions, sliding doors, walk in closets and custom made beds and wardrobes, the delivery deadlines may be somewhat longer. The deadlines also depend on our current workload.
Arpel will always inform it’s customers when unexpected delays occur and you can at any time ask us for a delivery estimate for the specific product/s you are interested in through our contact form.

Packaging of our furniture, tatami mats and mattresses
Arpel takes great care to properly pack the goods for shipping to ensure that they reach the destination perfectly intact.
We use the highest quality materials to protect our furniture kits. All pieces of our wooden furniture are pre-wrapped in cellophane to protect them from humidity and any scratches. Then they are padded on all sides and corners with Styrofoam and stiff cardboard edge protectors created specifically for the dimension of the piece. Each piece is then packaged on its own so as to better distribute the dimensions and weight. This reduces the risks of accidental damages and makes it easier for the client to bring the pieces indoors.
The textiles, futon mattresses and cushions are wrapped in cellophane and packaged in boxes and the tatami mats are protected with a double layer of cardboard packaging.
