What is LTL Freight?
Updated over a year ago

This means that your flat, unassembled boxes will be stacked, wrapped, and strapped onto a 48" x 40" pallet instead of bundled and packed into cardboard parcels. With freight shipping, the box sheets are carefully stacked on the pallet, covered with a cardboard "cap", then wrapped in industry-standard plastic wrapping for protection. The shipping price you see on the checkout page does not include additional services, such as lift gate and inside delivery. Such services will be quoted on an as needed basis.

What is liftgate and inside delivery?

Liftgate is an additional service generally used for those who do no have a trailer height dock at their facility. Generally a dock is available at most commercial buildings and select private buildings.

Inside delivery is an additional service where the freight service provider will bring the package inside the building instead of unloading and leaving outside of a building.

Other Valuable Information.

LTL Freight does not include guaranteed transit times, Inside Delivery, assistance with unpacking the pallet, or moving the pallet upstairs or in an elevator. If asked to provide any of these services at delivery, most freight drivers will say no. If any of these services are needed for your large quantity order, please reach out to our Support team before or shortly after placing your order.

Freight travels by trucks on "day lanes" usually projected in 2-3 day ranges. For example, your order might be placed with a 1-3 day lane service, 2-4 day lane service, or a 5-8 day lane service. The days projected are business days and exclude weekends and holidays. As a result, we can provide only a rough estimate of the delivery date.
