Pickup & shipping

Local pickup at Rita’s atelier in New Hampshire, by appointment. For buyers outside the region, you arrange a white-glove shipper of your choice — we’ve had good experiences with Plycon, Ship Smart, and Craters & Freighters. Rita hands the piece off at the atelier on your scheduled day.

How it works

Local buyers drive to the New Hampshire atelier.
Out-of-region buyers hire a white-glove shipper directly — Plycon, Ship Smart, or Craters & Freighters work well.
Rita never packs or ships — the piece passes from her hands to you or your carrier at the atelier.
Payment is settled before pickup.
