Worldwide Shipping Explained: How Your Custom Table Travels Safely From Belgium to Your Door
Partager
Ordering a large, handcrafted table from a workshop in Belgium and having it delivered safely to your home anywhere in the world can feel like the part of the process you have the least control over. Here's exactly how it works, what's included, and what to expect at each stage, so shipping is the one thing you don't have to worry about.
All-Inclusive Really Means All-Inclusive
Every Leonardo Gravina quote is a single, all-in price. There are no separate line items to negotiate later, the price you're quoted covers:
• The table itself, handcrafted to your specifications
• Custom-built protective crating, designed around the exact size and shape of your piece
• Worldwide air or sea freight
• Full transport insurance
• Import duties and customs handling paperwork
This is the same principle behind our guide on free worldwide delivery with care, you agree on a price once, and there are no surprise costs waiting for you when the table arrives at your border.
How We Package a Table for International Transport
A table isn't a standard parcel — it's a heavy, often irregularly shaped piece with a finish that needs to arrive exactly as it left the workshop. Every piece is individually crated using a custom wooden frame built specifically for its dimensions, with internal padding and corner protection to prevent movement during transit. For larger or more delicate pieces, such as our Eclipse Collection sculptural tables or gemstone-inlay pieces, additional internal bracing is used to protect both the resin surface and any inlaid material.
Customs and Import Duties: What You Need to Know
International shipments, particularly to the United States, United Kingdom, and other non-EU destinations, can involve import duties and customs clearance. Because our pricing is fully inclusive, our team handles the customs paperwork and duty payments on our end, so you're not left navigating unfamiliar forms or unexpected charges when your table crosses a border. If you're ordering for the US market specifically, our guide on custom resin dining tables for the USA covers a few destination-specific details worth knowing.
Typical Shipping Timelines by Region
While every shipment depends on the size of the table and current freight schedules, general timelines after production is complete look like this:
• Belgium, Netherlands, Germany: typically the fastest, often within 1–2 days
• Rest of Western Europe and the UK: typically 2–3 days
• United States and Canada: typically 6-7 days
• Other international destinations: timelines are confirmed individually based on freight availability
These timelines are always confirmed with you directly once your table is ready to ship, so you know exactly when to expect delivery.
Tracking and Communication
You're not left wondering where your table is once it leaves our workshop. Our team provides shipment tracking information and stays in contact throughout transit, so you always know the current status of your order, particularly important for larger installations being coordinated with an interior designer or delivery team, as covered in our guide for trade partners.
What Happens When the Table Arrives
Depending on your location and the size of the piece, delivery may include curbside drop-off or room-of-choice placement, this is confirmed with you ahead of time based on your address and access. The table arrives fully assembled or with minimal final assembly, protected in its custom crate until the moment it's unpacked in your home.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to pay customs fees separately when my table arrives?
No. Import duties and customs handling are included in your all-inclusive quote, so there are no separate charges due on delivery.
What if my table is damaged during shipping?
Every shipment is fully insured. In the rare event of transit damage, contact our team immediately with photos, and we'll resolve it as quickly as possible.
Can I choose a faster shipping option?
Standard worldwide shipping timelines are built around careful, secure freight handling for large, fragile pieces. If you have a firm deadline, let us know as early as possible and we'll advise on what's realistically possible.
Do you ship to remote or rural addresses?
Yes, though delivery timelines and access logistics (such as narrow driveways or stairs) should be discussed with our team in advance so we can plan accordingly.
Is shipping really free, or is it built into the table price?
Shipping, crating, and insurance are built into one transparent, all-inclusive quote, there's no separate "free shipping" gimmick, just one honest price with nothing added later.
