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.
Flat-rate freight charges are based on the average cost to ship each item.
The freight rate is shown on each product’s page and again at checkout.
Freight 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 $50 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.
