Shipping policy
SECTION 1 – OVERVIEW
At Dolop, each product is custom-made and produced fresh when you place your order in our San Diego workshop. This artisan approach means your piece is crafted specifically for you, requiring additional time but ensuring exceptional quality and attention to detail.
SECTION 2 – SHIPPING AREAS
We ship to the United States, Japan, UK, Australia, Canada, and South Korea.
International customers are responsible for import duties and taxes upon delivery. These fees are not collected by Dolop at checkout.
SECTION 3 – PRODUCTION & PROCESSING TIME
Production Timeline: Since our products are made fresh when ordered, production times are estimates and vary by product complexity, order volume, and workshop schedule. Production typically ranges from 1–3 weeks before shipping, with a maximum of 4 weeks during peak periods. We’ll notify you via email if your order requires additional time.
Order Processing:
-
You’ll receive an email confirming order acceptance within 2 business days of payment.
-
Production typically begins upon acceptance.
-
Once production begins, cancellations may not be accommodated due to the custom nature of our products. See our Return & Refund Policy for details.
SECTION 4 – SHIPPING METHODS & TIMEFRAMES
We use FedEx, UPS, DHL, or USPS for shipments. Delivery times vary by carrier and destination:
-
Domestic (USA): 5–8 business days
-
International (Japan, UK, Australia, Canada, South Korea): 4-10 business days
Note: Shipping timeframes begin once your custom product ships — not from your order date.
Total Delivery Time = Production Time (1–4 weeks) + Shipping Time (5–8 days domestic, 4–10 days international)
Dolop reserves the right to update or change shipping carriers or methods based on availability, cost, delivery reliability, or service disruptions. We will always aim to provide the most secure and timely delivery experience possible.
Whenever possible, we use the most efficient and cost-effective ground or air shipping method based on your location. This may include USPS Ground Advantage, UPS® Ground, or FedEx Ground Economy.
SECTION 5 – SHIPPING COSTS
Shipping costs are calculated at checkout based on your location:
-
USA: Free shipping on all orders
-
Canada: $35 USD flat rate
-
UK, Japan, South Korea, Australia: $50 USD flat rate
Shipping charges do not include sales taxes, customs duties, or import fees. See Section 2 for more information on international responsibilities.
SECTION 6 – ORDER TRACKING
Once your order ships, we’ll send tracking details via email. We recommend monitoring your shipment and being available to receive your delivery.
SECTION 7 – DELIVERY & RISK OF LOSS
Once we transfer your package to the shipping carrier, title and risk of loss pass to you. We are not responsible for delays caused by shipping carriers, customs, or external events beyond our control.
If your order arrives with visible damage, please note it with the delivery driver and contact us immediately.
Signature Confirmation: For orders over $500, we may require a signature to ensure secure delivery. You may request a waiver by emailing hello@bydolop.com, but you assume full responsibility if loss occurs.
Undeliverable Packages: If a package is returned as undeliverable (e.g., incorrect address or refusal), we’ll contact you to arrange reshipping. Additional shipping fees may apply. Domestic returns remain free per our Return & Refund Policy.
