Delivery Options
Residential Delivery
All residential delivery orders are curbside delivery. You will be contacted by the freight company via the phone number you provided to us to set up a delivery time. Drivers are unable to enter your home and are not responsible for moving the materials inside the home. Shipping of orders containing 15 boxes and more will be scheduled with a lift gate service. Each box weights approximately 35 lbs, so be prepared and arrange for some help if necessary. Someone must be there to accept the delivery. Whoever accepts the delivery must check the outside of the cartons for proper quantity/damage before signing documents.
Inside Garage Delivery:
The driver will bring the skid inside your garage, but will not bring your order inside your home. Make sure there is free space inside your garage to place the skid. Moving items inside your garage to make space for delivered goods is not covered by this service. Be prepared to receive the shipment and make sure your driveway is free from all obstacles that may cause problems with delivery (standing cars, trash containers etc.)
Guaranteed Date of Delivery:
This is a premium freight service in which you tell us when you want your order to be delivered and we will schedule a date for delivery that's most convenient for you.

Business Delivery:
We can also ship to a location in a non-residential area (home businesses do not qualify). There must be a shipping dock or forklift on the property. Furthermore, the business must be open until 5p.m. local time. There is no prior delivery notification for commercial deliveries.
Terminal Pickup:
You can collect your order from the closest local freight terminal. This is a great option if you live in an area that limits freight carriers or is a rural/city address hard to reach. It does not cover moving the items into your residence. Shipping will be priced the same as for commercial delivery. Contact us to check for the closest terminal location.
