4. Delivery

More information on delivery methods and their service content can be found on our website and product pages. Finalized orders are normally processed within 3 business days. “Finalized order” refers to an order with every product in stock and prepared for order, and approved payment.

In crafting our bespoke guitars, delivery typically takes between 3 to 6 months. The timeframe varies based on your unique specifications and our current waiting lists.The more intricate the customizations, the longer it will take our luthiers to build. The artisanal approach of our process makes it possible for us to prepare and deliver more heavily customized guitars to our customers. Production time is determined on a case-by-case basis and depends on the specific model and custom options you select.

Shipping cost will be automatically added in shopping cart.

Flaxwood.com is not responsible for holding other products in the order to the customer in the event one product is unavailable or its delivery is delayed for reasons independent of Flaxwood Oy. Alternatively, the customer may choose to accept backorder delivery for the delayed product or cancel the order. Backorder delivery costs are charged as normal, based on the pricing in effect at the time. Products in the order are held for a maximum duration of 7 days, after which the order is cancelled if the customer has not accepted backorder delivery in accordance with the Flaxwood.com terms and conditions.
