Does Wayfair ship internationally? Not from Wayfair.com. The US site ships within the United States, and charges extra for Alaska, Hawaii and US territories such as Puerto Rico. For other countries, Wayfair points you to its separate stores in Canada, the UK and Germany. Everyone else, including shoppers in Australia, Mexico and the Gulf, needs another way to get a Wayfair order home. This guide covers delivery costs, timings, where orders come from and the practical options for bulky furniture.

The short answer

Wayfair.com delivers to US addresses only. Orders over USD 35 usually ship free within the contiguous US, and orders under that cost USD 4.99, with some items carrying their own shipping charge. Alaska, Hawaii and US territories get a surcharge. Wayfair has separate websites for Canada, the UK and Germany, with their own ranges. For anywhere else, you can ship a Wayfair order to a US warehouse address and forward it, which works best for small and medium items.

Does Wayfair ship to Hawaii?

Yes, but it costs more. Wayfair says additional shipping charges may apply for Hawaii, and orders there don’t qualify for the usual free shipping over USD 35. The cart works out the surcharge for your postcode, and it can be a big share of the order on heavy items. Wayfair Rewards’ free shipping doesn’t cover Hawaii either. Large furniture can take weeks longer than on the mainland, because it has to travel by sea.

Does Wayfair ship to Alaska?

Yes, on the same terms as Hawaii. Expect a surcharge at checkout, no free shipping, and slower delivery on large items. Some products may show as unavailable for an Alaska postcode.

Does Wayfair ship to Puerto Rico?

Yes, Wayfair ships to Puerto Rico. It’s a US territory, so Wayfair.com will deliver, with an extra shipping charge. The same applies to Guam and the US Virgin Islands. Delivery to PO boxes and APO, FPO and DPO military addresses isn’t covered by Rewards free shipping, and many large items can’t go to those addresses at all.

Does Wayfair ship to Canada?

Not from Wayfair.com. Canadian shoppers use wayfair.ca, which prices in Canadian dollars and has its own range. For very large orders, wayfair.ca also mentions a freight-forwarding quote service, which is aimed at shipping beyond Canada.

Does Wayfair ship to Australia or Mexico?

No. Wayfair doesn’t ship to Mexico, and Wayfair won’t deliver to Australia either, since it no longer runs an Australian store and there’s no Mexican site. To buy from Wayfair.com in either country, you’d ship the order to a US address and forward it. For Australian import rules, see the Australian Border Force page on GST on imported goods.

Wayfair shipping cost

For most Wayfair.com orders in the contiguous US, the rule is simple: USD 4.99 under USD 35, free at USD 35 and above. There are exceptions. Some items, such as flooring and certain large fixtures, carry their own shipping charge and may not count towards the free shipping total. Gift cards and bulk orders are excluded. Paid Wayfair Rewards members get free shipping with no minimum, but not to Alaska, Hawaii, US territories, PO boxes or military addresses. Upgraded delivery options cost extra.

How long does Wayfair take to ship?

How long Wayfair takes to ship varies a lot, and each product page shows an estimated delivery date for your postcode. Small parcels, such as lamps, cushions and kitchenware, often arrive within a week. Large furniture usually takes longer, because it ships as freight and the delivery is scheduled with you. Items made to order, or sent straight from the supplier, can take several weeks. If you’re forwarding abroad, add our processing time of 4–5 working days plus international transit.

Where does Wayfair ship from?

Wayfair is based in Boston, but orders don’t ship from one place. Some items are stored in Wayfair’s own warehouses across the US. Many others ship straight from the brand or supplier that makes them. That’s why one order can arrive in several boxes on different days, from different states.

Who does Wayfair use for shipping?

Who Wayfair uses for shipping depends on the size of the item. Small parcels travel with the big national parcel carriers, and your tracking page shows which one. Large items go by freight, either with Wayfair’s own delivery network or a partner. The driver usually calls to book a slot. Depending on the item, you may be offered delivery to your door, to a room of your choice, or with in-home setup for an extra fee.

How to get Wayfair.com orders delivered abroad

Wayfair.com doesn’t ship outside the US, but you can still order with a US address. Global Shopaholics gives you one in Delaware and forwards your parcels overseas.

Step 1: Sign up for your free US address

Get a free account with a US address at our warehouse in New Castle, Delaware. Use it as your Wayfair delivery address, with your suite number in address line 2.

Step 2: Pick items worth forwarding

Pick items that make sense to forward. Decor, rugs, lighting, bedding, small tables and storage pieces are usually fine. Sofas, wardrobes and beds are bulky, so ask us about freight forwarding before you order.

Add the items you want to your cart on Wayfair.

Enter your Global Shopaholics address, with your suite number in address line 2, at checkout.

Step 3: We log and store your parcels

We receive and log each box. Wayfair orders often arrive in several deliveries, and storage is free for up to 30 days while the rest arrive. Paid plans give up to 210 days of storage.

Step 4: Combine your parcels

Use consolidation to combine boxes. We can remove packaging and repack to reduce the size you pay for. Furniture shipping costs are driven by volume, so this matters.

Step 5: Choose a carrier or a freight quote

Choose DHL, FedEx, UPS or USPS for courier-sized parcels, or a freight quote for large items. We process shipments in 4–5 working days.

Delaware has no sales tax, so Wayfair won’t add state sales tax to orders sent to our tax-free address. Insurance costs a minimum of USD 10 and up to 2% of the declared value, and we’d recommend it for anything fragile. Returns to a US seller cost USD 15 while the item is still with us. Check costs with our shipping calculator, which uses size as well as weight.

Wayfair forwarding to our main markets

Saudi Arabia and the UAE

Home decor and small furniture from Wayfair are popular with our Gulf customers. VAT and customs duty apply on import. See our Saudi Arabia and UAE pages, plus ZATCA and Dubai Customs for the official rules.

Australia

Wayfair doesn’t ship to Australia any more. Without a local Wayfair site, Australians forwarding from Wayfair.com tend to buy lighter items where shipping stays reasonable. Our Australia page has delivery options.

United Kingdom

wayfair.co.uk covers a lot of the range, but US-only brands still need forwarding. UK VAT applies to goods from the US. Our UK page explains the rest.

Angola and West Africa

Freight is often the sensible option for furniture to Angola or Nigeria, while smaller decor can travel by courier.

Practical tips before you order

Check the box dimensions on the product page, not just the item size. Shipping is charged on the box. Flat-pack versions of the same piece are far cheaper to forward than fully assembled ones. Read the reviews for notes on fragile parts, as glass and marble tops need extra protection. And check the voltage on lamps and electric fireplaces, as US items are built for 120V.

Is Wayfair legit, and how do returns work?

Yes. Wayfair is a large US retailer listed on the New York Stock Exchange, and it’s been selling online since 2002. Most items can be returned within 30 days, though some, such as made-to-order furniture, can’t be. Return shipping is usually deducted from your refund unless the item arrived damaged or wrong. If you’ve forwarded an order, report any problem as soon as it reaches our warehouse. Returning it within the US is far cheaper than sending it back from abroad.

Frequently asked questions

Does Wayfair ship internationally?
