Lift gate delivery service means your truck features a motorized rear lift, so the driver can lower items to the ground. However, this service does not include inside delivery, and the driver will not assist with bringing the items inside. Inside delivery is available for an additional charge.
Inside Delivery service means the driver will take your shipment inside the first door of your building or onto your loading dock, generally up to no more than 50 feet. They may choose to not take it up any steps, inside or out. Drivers may ask for “driver assist,” which means they may ask the person receiving the shipment for help with bulky or cumbersome packages. Inside Delivery does not include delivery to another floor, unpacking or stocking your order.
White glove service includes inside delivery and light assembly of items, as well as removal of all packaging materials.
You will find that some items on our site ship for free. Look for the Free Shipping logo on the product pages for these items. Keep in mind that the per-unit cost of shipping almost always decreases as your order quantity increases. Plus, you generally get a better overall rate by ordering as many items as possible from the same manufacturer.
You can avoid extra charges for large orders by shipping directly to freight docks in non-residential areas; this is often the most economical way to deliver freight shipments.
