Shipping Overview
Domestic orders are shipped via UPS Ground and ship within 2–3 business days, with exceptions for furniture, rugs and wallpaper. You will receive an email notification with a UPS tracking number when your order ships. We do not ship to APO or PO Boxes due to UPS shipping restrictions.
Wallpaper samples and gift cards ship free, and occasionally, lightweight items may incur a lower shipping rate. Our domestic shipping rates are determined by the order's subtotal and what region it is shipping to.

Please Note: Packages arriving in multiple shipments may not arrive at the same time.
Yes! International shipping rates vary according to destination country and are calculated after you enter your 'ship to' address during checkout. International tax and duties are not included in our shipping cost; the recipient is invoiced for this once the shipment reaches its destination. If you do not see your country on our list of 'ship to' destinations, contact us at customerservice@heathceramics.com.
Due to the made-to-order nature of most furniture, rugs, and wallpaper, lead times vary (listed in their product descriptions). Take a look at the FAQ for the Nomad Collection and Heath for Hygge & West wallpaper (wallpaper samples ordered online ship for free). Don’t hesitate to call us if you still have questions.
We use fully recyclable ExpandOS for our packaging to eliminate plastic and Styrofoam waste (you can recycle ExpandOS with your regular paper or cardboard recycling). Sensitive hands, be mindful — some ExpandOS have sharp edges.
We don’t offer gift wrapping for shipped orders, since the safety of your products is our number one priority in how we design our packaging for traveling. To securely pack shipments, we use Expandos, which are triangular box fillers made from post-consumer chipboard. They’re fully recyclable, as are the cardboard boxes used to ship your order. Expandos work exceptionally well to deliver ceramics safely, with minimal waste, but don't mix so well with gift wrap—one cuts the other. Read more of our Shipping Philosophy here.
Any breakage in shipment must be reported to Heath Ceramics within 5 days of receiving the shipment. Please email Customer Service with your transaction number or packing slip number and a photo of the breakage. A photo is necessary to reship your product.
In major metropolitan areas, the UPS Access Point network now offers local parcel retrieval if UPS is unable to deliver on the first attempt. UPS will leave a note indicating location and time for pickup (customer photo ID is required). You can also enroll in UPS’s free My Choice program to reroute your packages to an Access Point site in advance.
Returns & Exchanges
Heath will gladly exchange, provide store credit, or refund merchandise to the original form of payment within 30 days of the purchase date. Proof of purchase is required. The returned item(s) must be new, in original condition, and with the original tags or stickers. Any cash refunds over $200 will be refunded via mailed check. Returns without proof of purchase will be reviewed. If accepted they will be processed at factory seconds pricing for store credit or exchange only. No returns will be accepted if merchandise has been used. Other restrictions may apply.
*Please note that all 2nd Quality dinnerware, Overstock Tile, Final Few, Furniture, and Rug sales are final sale and are not eligible for returns or exchanges. For wallpaper returns, please contact Hygge & West directly.
Please visit our Dinnerware Quality & Care page for usage questions. If shipping your return, please contact Customer Service for your Return Authorization Number.
If you’re near a showroom, we're happy to assist you in person to complete your return or exchange of online or showroom purchases following the guidelines in our Return Policy above.
Please email Customer Service to request your Return Authorization Number (RMA#), and have your proof of purchase handy. Customers are responsible for return shipping. All returns/exchanges shipped back to Heath Ceramics must be accompanied by your original order #, your RMA#, and a completed Return Form. Exchanges may take up to 2 weeks to process. Refunds may take up to 7 days to process. Please note shipping costs are non-refundable.
Heath is not responsible for any damage that occurs when shipping back an item for return or exchange. We strongly recommend that you pack the items well and ship via a trackable carrier. Please note shipping costs are non-refundable.
Curbside Pickup
Curbside pickup is available at our San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Sausalito locations.
San Francisco: 2900 18th St, between Florida St. and Alabama St. Tuesday–Saturday, 12–4pm.
Los Angeles: 7525 Beverly Blvd, on the Sierra Bonita side. Tuesday–Saturday, 12–4pm.
Sausalito: 400 Gate 5 Road, 94965. Wednesday–Sunday, 12–4pm.
Pickups will still be possible outside of curbside hours, if the showroom is open, but you will need to enter the showroom to retrieve your order.
During online checkout, you’ll have the option to choose your delivery method. Select UPS shipping or Curbside Pickup. Note that certain “Special Order” items are not currently eligible for Curbside Pickup, because they ship directly from our vendors, not from our warehouse. If you have any Special Order items in your cart, Curbside Pickup will be disabled as a Delivery Option.
There’s no additional cost for Curbside Pickup, and it saves the cost of shipping (for you and the environment).
You’ll receive email notifications about each step (three in total). First, you’ll get an order confirmation after you place your order. Next, you’ll be alerted that your order’s being carefully packed in our warehouse. Finally, we’ll email you once you’re able to swing by curbside pickup. You can stop by anytime during our open hours.
We’ll hold your order for two weeks at our pickup location, and if we don’t hear from you we’ll refund any abandoned orders and return the merchandise to our warehouse. Before refunding any orders, we'll reach out via phone and email.
Pickup locations are designated for each showroom and will be included in your purchase confirmation emails.
For San Francisco pickups, navigate to 2900 18th Street, 94110.
For Los Angeles pickups, navigate to 7525 Beverly Blvd, 90036.
For Sausalito pickups, navigate to 400 Gate 5 Road, 94965.
Pull your car up safely to the curbside pickup loading zone and call the number on the sign (when we email you that your order is ready for pickup, we'll include the phone number). Let the curbside pickup team know you’ve arrived and they will pull your order for you to load into your vehicle. Your order will be packed securely in sealed boxes or bags, ready for transport. The entire pickup experience will be outdoors, contactless, and prompt, for everyone’s safety and well-being. Don’t forget your mask!

It takes us a few days to process your order depending on how many other orders are in progress. Our factory and warehouse team are moving as quickly and carefully as possible while following a new set of safety guidelines. Because orders are fulfilled in our warehouse, not in our showrooms, they must be brought to the pickup location, which takes extra time.
All orders, curbside and otherwise, are fulfilled directly from our warehouse, not from our showrooms. The occasional large or bulky item may need to be picked up directly from our San Francisco warehouse. If this is the case for your order, our Customer Service team will reach out directly.
Special Order items (any product with a shipping lead time, like 6-12 weeks) are typically made-to-order and ship directly from the maker, so we are not able to offer them for Curbside Pickup. Additionally, certain bulky items may need to be picked up directly from our warehouse, rather than from a showroom. If this is the case for your order, our Customer Service team will reach out directly.
