The Cutting Table · compared on the table
How long does a modular floor sofa take to arrive after I order?
Also asked as:What is the delivery time from order?How quickly could this ship to the US?
Every piece is made to order, but the ready-made sofas move quickest. Here is what adds time, piece by piece, so you can count back from the day the boxes need to reach your porch.
SaveThe quick answer
A ready-made modular floor sofa reaches the US sooner than a custom-size one, because a custom length adds its own cutting and sewing before the sofa ships by air express with UPS or FedEx. Ask the workshop for current making and delivery times in writing before you order. At busy times a carrier pickup can run a little late, so leave a few spare days.

|---|---|---|

| Custom-size floor sofa | Its own cutting and sewing at your length; takes longer | The exact length and a quick sketch of the wall it sits on |
| Teddy floor sofa | The teddy set and color you choose; quoted on its own | The set layout and the teddy color |
| Made-to-order floor cushions | Each cushion cut, filled and sewn to your size; takes longer | Each cushion's size and thickness |
| Pet-friendly quilted sofa topper | Quilting is a step of its own; takes longer | The seat size of the sofa it will cover |
After dispatch every row travels the same way, by UPS or FedEx air express; the workshop gives the current total to the US with the quote.

Leave your details and the workshop will call you to confirm measurements, fabric, foam and piping. No prices, dates or payment on this page: it is a request, not an order.
Why the ready-made sofa gets there first
Everything here is made to order, even the standard sizes. A ready-made modular floor sofa is prepared quickest. A custom length adds its own cutting and sewing, so it takes longer.
Once a sofa leaves, it goes by air express with UPS or FedEx. A teddy sofa has its own quote, and the quilted sofa topper for pets has its own making time too. Kids and dogs are the real quality control, and they will be waiting.
Ordering around a move or a houseful of guests
This question usually comes with a date attached: a move into a new apartment, a family visit. Count back from that date with the steps below, add a few spare days on top, and you'll sleep better.
At busy times a few orders sit ready a little longer because the carrier hasn't collected them yet. Tell the workshop your date before you order, neighbor. When does your sofa need to be on the floor? Still choosing a shape? The modular layouts Pattern helps.

Buyer questions
- A common question
How long does the floor sofa take to arrive once I order?
The workshop's answerIt depends on the sofa: a ready-made one is prepared quickest, a custom length takes longer, and then it goes by air express with UPS or FedEx. At busy times a few orders ran late because the carrier hadn't collected them yet, so leave spare days.
- A common question
How long is delivery, and how far ahead should I order?
The workshop's answerOrder as soon as your size and fabric are settled, especially with a move date. Ready-made sofas leave sooner than custom pieces, made-to-order floor cushions take longer to make, and delivery goes by air express after dispatch. Write your date in the order note.
- A common question
How soon could the pet-friendly quilted sofa topper reach me in the US?
The workshop's answerThe topper is quilted to order, so it takes longer than a ready-made sofa; once dispatched it travels by the same air express. Its making time comes with its own quote.
Questions buyers ask next
Can a custom cushion be promised for a fixed arrival date?
Not with certainty. Past orders were prioritized and handed over on an agreed day, but carrier problems in transit can still add days. Tell the workshop your deadline before ordering and it will say whether the date is realistic.
Do curved or oversized cushions take longer to make than a floor sofa?
Often, yes. Customized cushions take longer than standard ones, and curved or complex shapes, large outdoor projects and one-off master pieces take longer again, before delivery.
Why does a simple custom cushion still take days to make?
Every piece is cut and sewn by hand to order. Simple cushions are quickest, most custom orders take longer, and big or special orders longest, because each piece is cut, filled, sewn and checked before it leaves.
