We strive to secure the lowest possible freight rate for our customers, including options like drop shipping from distributors closer to you.
Ground/Parcel
Qualifying orders ship via FedEx Ground with tracking or PRO numbers provided. Please allow 24 hours for tracking to activate.
Freight
Freight shipments are for larger or heavier items and are securely palletized. They require a loading dock, forklift, or similar equipment for unloading at the delivery site.
Transit
While carriers typically provide reliable transit times, occasional variations may occur due to factors like order volume and weather.
Paperwork/Tracking
A Bill of Lading (BOL) is a detailed list of goods for carrier consignment. It’s issued by the carrier and provided to you upon delivery. BOL tracking numbers (PRO numbers) are generated when the carrier picks up the order but may take up to 24 hours to be trackable.
Delivery
Freight orders are typically delivered to a commercial address. Residential freight deliveries are subject to a surcharge and require liftgate service. Carriers are not movers and will not assist in the delivery.
Additional services include a fee:
Liftgate: A liftgate allows freight to be lowered to the ground from the truck’s tailgate and is considered a special service.
Appointment: Most carriers offer a window for delivery that may be up to 4 hours.
