why is shipping so expensive?

We completely understand that the shipping costs on a smaller order can be a large portion of the total cost, and this is especially true for "add-on" orders which is why we strongly suggest a minimum of 15% overage for a given project. each box of tile weighs approximately 35-40 lbs and we shrink wrap and palletize all of our orders prior to shipping them via freight. This process is labor-intensive and costly, even if the size of your order is on the smaller side.

clé has learned the hard way that other shipping options have too high a likelihood of a large portion of your tile arriving cracked or broken, and due to this risk, we decided that for the client experience we will only ship retail orders via this method.
