Products Shipped Via Freight Truck

Products and orders exceeding 250 lb or 36 cubic feet ship via freight truck (rather than FedEx). To save shipping expenses and keep prices low, some of these products may ship directly from the manufacturer. Products that ship directly from the manufacturer will arrive in a separate shipment from products that are shipped from our warehouse. Because of the large size or weight of these products, these items usually require delivery to an elevated loading dock.

Elevated Loading Dock

If your shipping location does not have an elevated loading dock, these products will be shipped via lift-gate-equipped truck (to lower the product from truck to the ground), and a $90.00 lift-gate charge will be added to your order.
