UF Axis Modular Side Table

Q: 1. What is the difference between the UnicaFurn Nexus & Axis Series and Ulrich Schärer Münsingen & Flat Point furniture?

A: First, we have great respect for all designer furniture brands and the design legacy behind them.

1. The UF Nexus Series is inspired by the modular design language of Ulrich Schärer Münsingen, but the key differences are found in the materials, finish options, customization flexibility, and delivery timeline.

UF Nexus uses 304 stainless steel tubes and 8K-polished, chrome-plated brass connector balls. The collection is available in 13 color options, finished with an FDA-grade electrostatic powder coating process.

Compared with traditional designer-brand lead times, UF Nexus offers shorter customization and shipping timelines, along with more flexible custom sizing options. These material and production standards are also why we confidently offer a 10-year warranty.

2. The UF Axis Series is inspired by the modular design language of Flat Point, but the key differences are found in the materials, finish options, customization flexibility, and delivery timeline.

UF Axis uses Aircraft-grade aluminum alloy and 8K-polished, chrome-plated brass connector balls. The collection is available in 5 color options, finished with an FDA-grade electrostatic powder coating process.

Compared with traditional designer-brand lead times, UF Axis offers shorter shipping timelines. These material and production standards are also why we confidently offer a 10-year warranty.

Q: 3. Modular furniture is a high-value purchase. How can I know UnicaFurn is a legitimate store and will ship my order?

A: We completely understand this concern, especially when purchasing high-value furniture online.

UnicaFurn is built on Shopify, one of the world’s most widely used e-commerce platforms. We currently accept payments by credit card and PayPal, and we may add more secure payment options in the future.

We recommend entering your email address at checkout so you can receive all order updates. Your privacy is important to us. We do not send frequent marketing emails, and we only occasionally share new product releases or major holiday promotions.

After your payment is completed, you will receive an order confirmation email from UnicaFurn. For standard modular furniture, we usually ship within 1–2 days. For custom orders, we usually ship within 2–3 days.

Once your tracking number is ready, it will be added to your order. You will also receive another email with a subject line similar to “#UNICAFURNXXXX is on the way.”

This email includes an important section titled “A Quick Note On Your Tracking Number,” which explains how the tracking process works and helps you stay informed throughout the journey of your order.

If you ever feel that the service you received does not match what was promised, you may contact us directly first. You may also contact your credit card provider or PayPal if you need to open a payment dispute.

Although we are the seller, we are also buyers ourselves. We understand how important trust, transparency, and a smooth shopping experience are when placing an online furniture order.

Q: 4. Why does my FedEx, UPS, DPD, or Purolator tracking number only show “Label Created”?

A: This is normal during the early stage of international freight shipping.

Most of our furniture ships from the Hong Kong port. After your order is paid, the shipment typically goes through customs review and export processing within 4–7 days before the vessel leaves the port.

After the vessel departs, the carrier provides us with the tracking number connected to the final-mile delivery service in your destination country. We then update your order and send the “on the way” email.

The tracking number you receive is usually the final-mile tracking number used after the shipment arrives at the destination port, clears customs, and is handed over to the local delivery provider, such as UPS, FedEx, DPD, or Purolator.

Before the shipment reaches the destination port and completes customs clearance, the local delivery provider has not yet received or scanned your package. That is why the tracking page may only show “Label Created.”

We understand that you may want to confirm whether your order has shipped and when it will arrive. In the “A Quick Note On Your Tracking Number” section of your shipping email, we also explain that you may reply to the email if you would like to know the vessel name and vessel tracking website for your shipment.

Q: 5. Why does the tracking page show an estimated delivery date if my order is still in transit by sea?

A: To answer this, it helps to understand the full UnicaFurn shipping process:

1. You place and pay for your order.
2. We review, prepare, and pack your furniture.
3. The furniture arrives at the port and is checked by the ocean carrier.
4. The vessel leaves the port, and the carrier provides a tracking number connected to the final-mile delivery provider in the destination country.
5. The shipment arrives at the destination port and goes through container pickup and customs clearance.
6. The final-mile delivery provider, such as UPS, FedEx, DPD, or Purolator, receives and scans the package.
7. Your furniture is delivered to your address.

This can be seen from point 4. The reason you may see an estimated delivery date early is that once a tracking number is created, many final-mile delivery systems automatically generate an estimated delivery window based on the delivery provider’s standard local transit time.

However, at that stage, your shipment may still be on the ocean freight route. For the most accurate expectation, please refer to the shipping timeline listed on our website and in your order information.

Q: 6. Why does UnicaFurn recommend self-assembly for the Nexus Series instead of pre-assembly? Is installation difficult?

A: Based on our past shipping experience, we recommend self-assembly for the Nexus Series because pre-assembly creates two risks that are difficult to fully avoid.

First, when a standard or custom modular furniture piece has a single-side length of more than 732 mm, there is a much higher risk of scratches, dents, or surface damage during international transportation.

Second, even though we provide warranty support and are happy to send replacement parts or tools when needed, a damaged pre-assembled unit may still need to be taken apart. If the damaged part is located in the middle of the structure, the customer may need to disassemble most of the furniture, replace the part, and then assemble it again.

For this reason, self-assembly is often the safer and more practical option.

Installation is not complicated. We provide the required installation tools, step-by-step assembly videos, and extra screws in addition to the standard number needed for the cabinet. These extra screws are included to make the initial assembly process easier, especially for customers installing the Nexus Series for the first time.
