All products from Pelican Reef are packaged
carefully to reduce damages that may occur during shipping and

similar companies who are not familiar with handling furniture when
returning merchandise. If you choose to utilize such services, it
is your responsibility to ensure that the packaging meets the
shipping standards set by the carrier.
