Here's what to ask, friend: how the two clocks are counted, where weekends fall, and the one item that sometimes stays in port.* Also asked as: Do you ship to the UK?; I live in Scotland. Do you ship here? > **The quick answer:** Custom cushions ship to the whole UK, Scotland included, and the workshop confirms shipping cost and timing with your quote. Ask for production and delivery times in writing, count from dispatch, and leave a margin, because weekends and holidays add days. Floor sofas are the exception: UK sofa shipping has been paused at times. ![Cranberry red velvet box cushion with self piping on a rustic pine bench at the foot of a linen-dressed bed](https://cushionguide.com/media/bench-cushions/cranberry-velvet-foot-of-bed-pine-bench-cushion-1600.webp "A cranberry red velvet cushion with self piping sits on a rustic pine bench, adding one rich color to a bed dressed in natural linen.") ## Key facts - The workshop confirms the UK shipping cost with your quote or at checkout. - The whole UK is covered, Scotland included. - Production time depends on the job, and custom work takes longer; the current figure comes with the quote. - Delivery is counted in working days from dispatch; weekends and holidays don't count. - One quote for the capital area said 2-3 days after dispatch. - UK floor sofa shipping has been paused at times since early 2025. ## What to ask at each stage of a UK cushion order | Stage | What to ask | What past UK orders showed | |---|---|---| | Production | How many working days for your size and fabric | Custom shapes and special fabrics took longer than standard sizes | | Delivery after dispatch | Which courier, and how many working days from dispatch | One capital-area quote said 2-3 days; another said 1-3 days | | Your need-by date | Count back: delivery days, then making days, then a weekend margin | Weekends and holidays didn't count as working days | | Shipping charge | Whether the quote or checkout total already includes it | Scotland was covered like the rest of the UK | | Floor sofas | Whether sofas are shipping to the UK right now | Paused at times since early 2025; sofas did reach the UK in 2024 | ## What the delivery line means on a UK cushion checkout Whatever the delivery line at a UK checkout reads, free or not, it comes from the listing for your address; screenshot the total before you pay. Custom quotes work differently: ask the workshop to state the shipping cost with the total, whether the parcel is bound for the UK, Belgium, the US or Canada. A set of [Hemnes daybed covers](https://cushionguide.com/cushions/ikea-hemnes-daybed-covers/) travels the same way as a single [bench cushion](https://cushionguide.com/cushions/bench-cushions/). If checkout ever shows a delivery charge you didn't expect, ask before you pay; a few bespoke items or far destinations do carry a fee. ## Counting back from the day you need them Weather decides a lot on the water, but here the arithmetic does: making days, then travel days, and weekends don't count. Ask the workshop for both clocks and add a margin. When the box lands, [unpack the vacuum-packed foam with patience](https://cushionguide.com/guides/vacuum-packed-cushion-first-72-hours/) before you judge its thickness. When do you need the cushions on the daybed? > **Tailor's margin:** Plan a UK custom cushion order around the quoted dates: ask for production and delivery times with the quote, then leave a margin for weekends and holidays. > Whatever the delivery line at a UK checkout reads, screenshot the total before you pay, and ask the workshop about any charge you didn't expect. > > — Callum ## Buyer questions **A common question:** Do you ship to the UK, and what does shipping cost? **The workshop's answer:** Yes, to the whole UK. The cost isn't a fixed figure: the workshop states it with your quote, or checkout shows it for your address. One custom bench cushion went to the capital area with free delivery; ask for the total lead time, production included, alongside the cost. **A common question:** I'm in Scotland. Do you ship here, and how long does it take? **The workshop's answer:** Yes, Scotland included. Ask for the current delivery time after dispatch; 2-3 days was quoted for the capital area. **A common question:** Is shipping to the UK really free? **The workshop's answer:** Check your own total, friend. The checkout shows shipping for your UK address, and on a custom order the workshop states it in the quote. Screenshot the total before you pay. ## Questions buyers ask next ### Can a floor sofa be delivered to the UK? Not always. UK sofa shipping has been paused at times since early 2025, though sofas did reach the UK in 2024. Custom cushions and poufs have kept shipping to the UK by FedEx; ask for the current transit time. ### Do weekends count toward the business days? No. The workshop and the couriers don't work at weekends, so dispatch and tracking resume on the next working day. A parcel already in transit may pause over a weekend, then carry on. ### Is shipping included in a custom quote too? Not automatically: ask the workshop to state it with the total. Some past quotes included shipping, and a few bespoke items or far destinations carried a fee, so ask if checkout shows a charge you didn't expect. ## Related at the atelier - [Hemnes Daybed Cover in Crimson: Ordering It Right the First Time](https://cushionguide.com/readings/crimson-daybed-mattress-cover-box-corner-cream-piping/): To order a Hemnes daybed cover right the first time, send the fabric code, the piping code, the inside frame size and one note on how the cushions stack. - [Hemnes Daybed Cover for a Playroom: Orchid Pink, Ivory Piping](https://cushionguide.com/readings/orchid-pink-hemnes-daybed-kids-playroom/): For a Hemnes daybed cover in a child's room, choose a mid-tone, hard-wearing linen-look fabric and consider contrast piping in the wall color. - [Hemnes Daybed Cover in Red Stripe with Crimson Back Cushions](https://cushionguide.com/readings/hemnes-daybed-crimson-backs-striped-seat/): A Hemnes daybed cover changes the surface, not the support: the firmness of the seat comes from the mattress inside it. - [Why won't my discount code work, and why did it remove the sale price?](https://cushionguide.com/answers/discount-code-not-working-sale-price/): Your discount code most likely won't work because the store sale is already built into the listing price, and the marketplace doesn't let a code stack on a running sale. - [Do you ship custom cushions to Canada, and how long does it take?](https://cushionguide.com/answers/shipping-custom-cushions-to-canada/): Yes, custom cushions ship to Canada by express courier to your address, and the workshop states the shipping cost and delivery time with your quote. - [Is shipping included in the price, or is there a delivery charge?](https://cushionguide.com/answers/is-shipping-included-custom-cushion-price/): Shipping on a custom cushion depends on the listing and the quote: custom cushions to the US have gone by express courier, large orders UPS Express and the rest FedEx Express, and the quote states… - [How to measure an IKEA Hemnes daybed: two stacked mattresses, one cover](https://cushionguide.com/guides/ikea-hemnes-daybed-cover-measuring/) - [How to make a daybed look like a sofa with back cushions and bolsters](https://cushionguide.com/guides/daybed-back-cushions-sofa-look/) *Fair winds — Callum* --- Written by Callum Reid (https://cushionguide.com/masters/callum/) for CushionGuide (https://cushionguide.com/about/).
