Shipping & Handling

Shipping & Handling

Every Hoeksema Woodworking piece is handcrafted from solid hardwood and prepared carefully for its journey to your home. Because of the weight, density, and craftsmanship involved, shipping is handled differently than mass-produced goods — and that’s intentional.

Thoughtful Packaging for Solid Hardwood

Our boards are made from real hardwoods, not composites or veneers. That means they are dense, heavy, and built to last — and they require proper packaging to arrive safely.

Each order includes:

  • Protective wrapping to prevent movement or impact
  • A sturdy, size-specific shipping box
  • Careful preparation to protect edges, corners, and finish

This process takes time and materials, but it ensures your board arrives exactly as intended.

Flat-Rate Shipping by Board Size

To keep shipping simple and predictable, we use flat-rate shipping based on board size rather than exact weight calculations at checkout.

This means:

  • No surprise shipping costs
  • No inflated “carrier estimate” pricing
  • Clear, upfront rates you can trust

Shipping rates reflect:

  • Board size and weight
  • Packaging materials
  • Carrier handling requirements
  • Safe delivery to your door

Multiple Boards & Oversized Orders

If you’re ordering multiple boards or a larger piece, shipping costs may increase due to combined weight and box size. In some cases, we may reach out directly to confirm the best and safest shipping option.

Our goal is always to balance fair pricing with secure delivery.

Processing Time

Because each board is finished by hand, please allow time for final inspection, packaging, and preparation before shipment.

Typical processing time:

  • 2–5 business days unless otherwise noted on the product page

You’ll receive tracking information as soon as your order ships.

Why Shipping Costs What It Does

We don’t pad shipping to increase profits — and we don’t cut corners to make it cheaper.

Your shipping cost reflects:

  • The reality of shipping solid hardwood
  • Proper packaging to prevent damage
  • Reliable carriers that treat your order with care

This approach protects your investment and ensures your board arrives ready to use and enjoy for years to come.
