At The Somerset Shop, we understand how important it is that every product arrives at your door in perfect condition. Reclaimed doors, with their unique character and history, are no exception. Each piece tells a story, and we want to ensure that journey continues smoothly to your home. Our dedicated team, led by Claire, is committed to ensuring that every reclaimed door we sell is carefully packed and shipped, maintaining the high standards that our customers expect.
Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at the meticulous process that goes into preparing each reclaimed door for delivery.
Step 1: Careful Inspection Before Packing
Before we even begin the packing process, Claire and the team conduct a thorough inspection of every reclaimed door. This is a crucial step in our quality control process. We check for any signs of wear, blemishes, or imperfections that may have been missed in previous inspections, making sure the door matches the description and photos on our website.
Why do we take this step so seriously? Reclaimed doors are one-of-a-kind, each with its own unique set of characteristics—be it weathered wood, intricate carvings, or historical craftsmanship. Ensuring that the door meets your expectations means fewer surprises when you receive it. We take pride in this personalized attention to detail, so when your door arrives, it’s exactly as you imagined—or better!
Step 2: Secure and Thoughtful Packaging
Once a door has passed its inspection, the next step is packaging. We’ve designed a packing process that prioritizes both safety and sustainability. Each door is securely wrapped in high-quality cardboard to protect it from scratches, dents, or damage during transit. Special care is taken to ensure all corners and edges are well-covered since these are often the most vulnerable parts during shipping.
In keeping with our eco-friendly values, we aim to use recyclable materials as much as possible. Our packaging not only keeps your door safe but also aligns with our commitment to reducing waste. Claire’s team goes the extra mile to make sure the package is neat and compact, balancing protection with environmental responsibility.
Step 3: Applying the Tracking Label
With the door packed up securely, we move on to labeling. The tracking label is carefully applied to ensure all necessary delivery information is visible to the courier. This step might seem simple, but it’s vital. The tracking label is the link between our workshop and your home, enabling you to follow your door’s journey from the moment it leaves us.
We understand the excitement of waiting for a delivery, especially one as significant as a reclaimed door that could be a feature piece in your renovation or interior design project. That’s why we make sure that the tracking information is promptly sent to you once the label is applied. You’ll receive a notification with the tracking number so you can monitor the delivery in real-time, right from the moment it’s collected by the driver.
Step 4: Shipping Options to Meet Your Needs
We know that everyone’s schedule is different, so we offer a range of shipping options to suit your needs. Whether you need a reclaimed door quickly for a last-minute project or prefer a delivery on a specific day, we have you covered. Our economy next-day service ensures your door arrives promptly, while our dedicated day delivery option allows you to choose a time that works best for you.
No matter which option you select, rest assured that we’re working with trusted couriers to get your reclaimed door to you safely and on time.
Conclusion: Your Satisfaction is Our Priority
From the moment you place an order to the time your reclaimed door arrives, we’re dedicated to making the process as smooth and stress-free as possible. Claire and the team take immense pride in their work, knowing that each door we ship will find a new home where it can continue to be appreciated for years to come.
