Business days from the day you order to the day the last package arrives, measured on our tracked deliveries from November 2025 to November 2026. About 7 in 10 orders arrived within each range and about 2 in 10 took longer. We quote a range only where we have at least 20 tracked deliveries. Your checkout shows the estimate for your address.
- Most in-stock orders leave our warehouse within two business days, and we email tracking when the carrier has the shipment.
- Boxed orders travel with FedEx (some with UPS); pallet orders travel with FedEx Freight.
- Nearly 9 in 10 pallet orders here are delivered curbside; terminal pickup is rare. Curbside means the boxes stop at the curb or driveway, so plan help for stoops and stairs.
- At checkout you can choose curbside delivery, business delivery to an address with a loading dock or forklift, or pickup at a freight terminal near you, and see each price before you pay. We confirm the terminal with you before the order ships.
- Our cork adhesive and finishes must not freeze (the adhesive’s data sheet says keep it above 40 °F), so we ship them in insulated packing. A winter shipping fee shows on those product pages and in the cart; it is not charged on pickup.
- Free delivery on most orders over $2,000 through December 1. See your delivered price in the cart.

What to check in Northeast homes
Radiators and hot-water heat
About 4 in 10 New England homes and a third of Mid-Atlantic homes heat with hot water or steam (American Housing Survey 2023). Floating floors are the better choice over in-floor heating; glue-down tiles are not recommended over it. All the floating floors in our radiant heat chart are approved for hydronic (hot water) heating, but only Swiss cork, Swiss Design, Techslate, leather, natural composite and stone floors are approved for electric heating. Keep the floor surface below 82 °F (28 °C) and change the system temperature by no more than 9 °F (5 °C) a day. Radiant heat guide
Basements
More than 8 in 10 existing New England and Mid-Atlantic homes have a basement. Over concrete, our floating-floor guide calls for 6-mil polyethylene run 3 inches up the wall, seams overlapped 8 inches and taped, and a documented moisture test (calcium chloride kit or relative humidity meter). Basement guide
Dry heated winters
Boston and New York winters are cold, and heated indoor air gets very dry. Our radiant heat guide asks for 48 to 72 hours of acclimatization in the room, cartons open, at 65 to 75 °F.
Apartments and co-ops
4 in 10 New York City homes are in buildings with five or more units. Sound rules depend on the whole floor assembly, so ask us for the test reports for the floor and underlayment you choose.

Is there a showroom in New York or Boston?
No. We are an online store with no walk-in location. Small samples are free; FedEx Express shipping is charged at checkout. Compare them at home, in daylight and in the evening, before you order the floor.
How long does delivery to the New York City area take?
On our tracked deliveries, most orders to the New York City area arrived 3 to 11 business days after ordering. Your checkout shows the estimate for your address.
How long does delivery to New England take?
On our tracked deliveries, most orders to New England arrived 5 to 12 business days after ordering. Your checkout shows the estimate for your address.
Do you deliver to Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket?
Yes. Island ZIP codes are priced separately from the mainland, with the island delivery cost included; enter your ZIP code in the cart to see the price before you pay.
When should I order before my installer starts?
Two to three weeks ahead. Pallet orders to the Northeast take longer than anywhere else we ship, and the boxes need time to acclimatize in the room.
Can cork go over hot-water radiant heat?
Yes, as a floating floor. All the floating floors in our radiant heat chart are approved for hydronic heating; keep the floor surface below 82 °F (28 °C).
