Freight shipping applies to large or heavy items within the lower 48 states with a flat rate based on weight and size; costs are not included in item prices and usually cannot be waived. Free standard shipping is offered on non-freight orders over $100 in the contiguous 48 states. Mixed orders qualify for free shipping on non-freight items. Shipping outside the lower 48, special shipping items, digital goods, gift certificates, and extra services have different policies or fees.
Freight Shipping
Some larger or heavier items require freight shipping. Freight carriers use different pricing structures than ground services and often require special equipment to deliver your order safely. Please see How do I receive freight deliveries? for more details on accepting freight shipments.
Within the lower 48 states:
-
We offer a flat rate freight shipping cost, shown on each product’s page and again at checkout.
This flat rate is based on the average cost to ship that item. Freight LTL (Less Than Truckload) charges are calculated using the shipment weight and dimensions. That means even if you order multiple items together, the cost per item is usually close to the flat rate shown.
To remain flexible for customers who purchase in the showroom or use their own carrier, freight shipping costs are not included in the item pricing. We’re not able to waive or reduce freight costs in most cases.
Shipping outside the lower 48?
Orders to Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, or Canada require a custom freight quote due to varying rates.
Standard (Non-Freight) Shipping
We offer free standard shipping on most orders of $100 or more (merchandise total, before tax). This applies to non-freight items shipping within the contiguous 48 states.
Mixed Orders (Freight + Non-Freight)
If you order qualifying non-freight items along with freight items, the non-freight portion of your order will qualify for free standard shipping.
