Shipping Policy
Effective Date: July 21, 2026
Thank you for shopping with Open Air Haven ("Open Air Haven," "Company," "we," "our," or "us"). This Shipping Policy outlines how we process, ship, and deliver orders placed through our website, including information about freight shipments, delivery procedures, inspections, and shipping-related issues.
By placing an order with Open Air Haven, you acknowledge and agree to the terms outlined in this Shipping Policy.
1. Shipping Locations
Open Air Haven currently ships to customers located within the contiguous United States.
At this time, we do not ship to Alaska, Hawaii, U.S. territories, APO/FPO addresses, P.O. Boxes, or international destinations unless specifically noted on the product listing or approved in writing before purchase.
Certain oversized or specialty products may have additional geographic shipping restrictions.
2. Shipping Methods
Because many of the products we sell—including outdoor kitchens, grills, pergolas, patio furniture, fire features, storage solutions, and other outdoor living products—are oversized or heavy, shipping methods vary by item.
Orders may be delivered through:
-
UPS or FedEx Ground
-
Regional parcel carriers
-
Less-than-truckload (LTL) freight carriers
-
Direct manufacturer shipping
-
Supplier warehouse fulfillment
-
Scheduled freight delivery
The shipping method selected depends on product size, supplier location, inventory availability, destination, and carrier availability.
3. Shipping Charges
Standard free shipping on all applicable orders.
Many items qualify for free shipping within the contiguous United States. Oversized products, remote delivery locations, lift gate service, or special freight requirements may require additional shipping charges.

-

-
Inside delivery
-
Assembly
-

If additional shipping charges become necessary after your order is placed due to delivery location or carrier requirements, we will contact you before shipment so you may approve the charges or cancel the order.
4. Order Processing
Most orders are processed within 1–3 business days after payment has been successfully received.
Processing time may vary based on:
-
Inventory availability

-
Holidays

Warehouse operations
Orders are processed Monday through Friday, excluding holidays.
Processing time is separate from shipping transit time.

-
Freight shipments: 5–15 business days

Custom-built, made-to-order, or manufacturer-direct products: Delivery timelines vary by manufacturer.
Estimated delivery dates are provided as a courtesy and are not guaranteed.

Open Air Haven is not responsible for delays caused by carriers, manufacturers, suppliers, or events beyond our reasonable control.
6. Freight Deliveries
Many large products ship by freight carrier.

7. Freight Delivery Appointments
Freight carriers typically contact customers to schedule a delivery appointment.
It is the customer's responsibility to respond promptly and ensure someone is available during the scheduled delivery window.
Missed appointments or refused deliveries may result in additional carrier charges including storage, re-delivery, or return freight fees, which are the customer's responsibility unless caused by our error.
