When purchasing a large variety of items, or large quantities of one item, we will crate your shipment instead of boxing it up. We use our shipping broker to find you the best possible LTL shipping options.
If the items are in stock, we will collect the items, check them for quality, and crate them usually in a matter of days. Our goal is to ship you items, so they are immediately ready for resale. We use a shipping broker, who will email you 3 different quotes from shipping companies, you simply choose one, and we will make sure the shipment is picked up. A copy of the shipment's Bill of Lading, including tracking information and delivery contact information is included.
We will never send a half empty crate. Crates are sized to the shipment. We prefer to create crates that are 42"X48"X60", +/-500 lbs. to get the most for the shipping costs invested, but obviously not all customers need that much inventory, so we customize it.
Please note, if you do not have a loading dock or forklift capabilities, you will be charged an additional rate for the liftgate on the truck to unload your shipment. This extra fee is typically around $50 additional to the shipping charges. You may also choose to hold the shipment at the closest shipping hub, for pick up.
LTL rates change according to supply and demand. We have no control over the rates shippers charge. What you paid last month, may not be the same rate you pay today. We have no control over this.
