Multiple Shipments
Because we warehouse our products across the Country, sometimes we may need to ship your order from two or more different locations. In situations where this is the case, we will never charge you more for shipping than you originally paid.
If your order needs to arrive in a single shipment, please contact our sales department when placing your order or add this information to the "Order Comments" box. To consolidate some orders, we may need to bring the products into our office or our freight forwarders warehouse and combine them before shipping them to you, so your order may have an additional 3 - 5 day lead time and an additional shipping charge may apply.

Freight Options
When placing an order that must ship freight, you will need two pieces of information:
- Is this shipping to a commercial zone or a residence?
- Will you need a lift gate?
If your freight shipment is going to a residential area, the cost will be greater than if you were to ship freight to a commercial zone. Because these areas are more accessible and tend to be on established routes already, shipping to them is less costly.
If your product shipping freight weighs more than 45kgs and you do not have access to a forklift or loading dock at your destination, you will need a lift gate to get your pallet from the truck to the ground.
Freight can be complex. If you would like some additional help picking the right shipping choice for your order, please contact our freight forwarder and they will help you with the process. Because the freight quotes on the front end of our website are approximate, they may be able to give you a better rate as well.
