Most of our items are too heavy to ship via parcel post or FedEx and must be shipped via common carrier in a crate. For a freight quote, call or email us with your COMPLETE shipping address and a description of the items in which you are interested. Common Carriers deliver to curbside only.
Crating Charges: Before an item is shipped, a custom crate must be built to insure safe delivery. Building crates involves a considerable expenditure of time, labor, and materials. Crating charges allow us to recoup a fraction of the actual cost to pack an item securely to insure it’s safe delivery.
Truck Freight Charges: Rates for common carrier delivery are highly variable and depend much on where the item is being shipped. The typical price range for deliveries in the 48 states is $100 to $250. Average lead-time is 1 to 3 weeks. Call or email with your complete shipping address and a description of the item(s) in which you are interested and we can provide a more accurate quote. Please indicate whether the address is a commercial or residential address.
Note: Shipments to commercial addresses (I.E. to a loading dock or place with a forklift) can be considerably less expensive than residential deliveries where a smaller truck with a lift gate is required. You may be able to save 20 to 40% of the total shipping cost by having the item delivered to a local business or your place of employment.
Important!: We can only estimate approximate freight charges as there is no way to know ahead of time exactly how much an item will weigh before it is actually crated and placed on a scale. In most cases, we err on the side of caution and over-estimate slightly. In the event that actual shipping charges are less than quoted, we will pass the savings on to you.
It is Extremely Important that you uncrate and inspect the item as soon as possible after shipment. Freight damage claims must be made within the time specified on the bill of lading.
