Items that are too big to send via FedEx or UPS, or shipments with a large quantity of items must be transported to you on a semi-truck and require special freight charges. Freight charges are calculated on a per shipment basis since product sizes, weights, quantities and delivery locations vary. Your specific location is required to receive the most accurate rate. We work to find the least expensive delivery method available by getting several quotes from different carriers. It may take longer for us to provide you with a freight quote for item(s) shipped directly from the manufacturer. We'll pass the information on to you as soon as we receive it.
Freight Delivery Services
Base level delivery service is the least expensive option and consists of either:
- Dock-to-Dock - delivered to your loading dock and unloaded by you and/or your staff
- Tailgate Delivery - you and/or your staff unload items from the truck
If you don't have a loading dock, forklift or staff/assistance available, you may require additional delivery services. Without them, you will be responsible for getting your order off the truck (within 15 minutes) and inside your delivery location without any assistance from the delivery driver.
