Shipping & Delivery
At Ruth Oliver, we aim to make delivery smooth, transparent, and cost-efficient. We do not mark up shipping rates — you pay what we pay — and we always work to secure the best available quote for you.
Free shipping only applies when explicitly stated at checkout.
Lead Times
Products in stock at our East Coast warehouse typically ship within 1–2 weeks of full payment — often sooner.

5. Customer-Arranged Shipping
You may arrange your own carrier; however, we do not recommend this due to higher risk of damage.
We cannot process claims for shipments not booked through us.
Requesting a Shipping Quote
Before checkout, email team@rutholiver.com with:
✔ Item(s) of interest
✔ Full delivery address & access notes
✔ Contact number (optional but helpful)
Quotes are typically sent within 24 hours.
Shipping is billed separately — once the quote is approved and paid, we schedule shipment.
If you are not satisfied with your quote, you may request a full refund for your order total paid, provided the order has not been fulfilled.
International Shipping
We ship globally through major carriers.
Customs duties, taxes, and import fees are the responsibility of the buyer. We are not liable for customs delays or additional fees outside our control.
