  • Select items qualify for free shipping in the contiguous U.S.

Delivery Options

Here's how you can expect your order to arrive:

  • For small shipments- Fed Ex/UPS will deliver cartons off of their trucks and into your building.
  • For large shipments- A truck will deliver your merchandise using standard tailgate delivery if your building has a dock. If your building does not have an accessible loading dock, please let us know in the shipping instructions.
