Freight deliveries arrive via tractor-trailer and are curbside only, with liftgate service available for $34. Residential deliveries require a scheduled call, while commercial ones do not. Inspect shipments upon arrival for damage or shortages. Special services and smaller trucks may be available for extra fees, but must be arranged before shipping. Carriers do not drive on driveways or unpaved roads.
Liftgate service and freight policy:
Freight deliveries arrive on a tractor-trailer. The truck needs a safe place to park at the curb and cannot park on highways, busy roads, cul-de-sacs, dead ends, private driveways, or unpaved roads. The truck will not enter your driveway or back down your street.
Freight typically arrives within 4–6 business days. Rural areas or partner carriers may add up to a week to this timeframe. Please ignore delivery dates on the carrier’s website—they’re system-generated and often inaccurate. These dates do not account for the carrier's actual routes or other shipments scheduled ahead of yours.
For residential deliveries, the carrier will call at least one business day in advance to schedule delivery during regular hours. Providing your best contact number is essential. Carriers are not required to call if it is a commercial delivery.
If there’s no loading dock, freight will be unloaded curbside. Liftgate service is available for $34—this lowers the freight to the ground, but you’ll still need to move it from the curb to your shop or garage. If needed, be sure to select liftgate service during checkout.
After unloading and before the driver leaves:
Confirm the number of boxes received matches the shipment total. Any missing items must be documented by the driver before they leave.
Inspect the packaging together for any signs of damage, such as dents, scuffs, tears, or holes. Ensure the driver notes specific documentation, such as “crushed packaging” or “refused due to crushed packaging,” to help us offer prompt support in the event of damage. General comments like “subject to inspection” or “refused” are not sufficient and will not support a damage claim. In many instances, the driver will need to call in the damage claim at the time of delivery.
If anything is damaged, missing, or appears repackaged, take clear photos before and after uncrating, and keep all packaging in case a return is needed. Then, contact us so we can help resolve the issue promptly.
What if my address isn't tractor-trailer accessible?
You have the option of picking up your machine at the carrier’s terminal, where they will load it onto your vehicle. Let the carrier know when they call to schedule delivery that you want to pick it up. Be sure to check for any damage or shortages when picking it up. We can also check to see if the carrier has a smaller truck that can deliver to you. There may be additional fees for this service and it must be arranged before your order ships, so please contact us before ordering.
Do you offer any special services for freight deliveries?
For an additional charge, some freight terminals may offer extra services, such as moving the freight into your ground-level shop or garage. There may be additional fees for special services and they need to be arranged before your order ships, so please contact us first if you need assistance beyond standard curbside delivery.
Delivery Limitations: Please note that none of our carriers will:
- Move freight up or down stairs.
- Drive on residential driveways.
- Drive on unpaved roads.
Important: Any additional services arranged apply only to the initial delivery and are not available if your product needs to be returned.
How Do I Make Delivery Arrangements?
Our freight carriers are independent third‑party companies, and we do not have access to their internal scheduling systems or delivery routes. Because of this, we cannot schedule or adjust delivery appointments prior to the carrier contacting you.
Residential Deliveries
For residential shipments, the carrier will call at least one business day in advance to schedule your delivery appointment. This phone call is the earliest and most accurate opportunity to arrange your delivery.
Please wait for the carrier’s call before making any plans that depend on the delivery date.
Do not rely on dates shown on the carrier’s website. These are automatically generated and do not account for actual routing, delays, or shipments ahead of yours. The appointment the carrier provides by phone is always the correct delivery timeframe.
Commercial Deliveries
If there is a company name listed anywhere in the shipping address, the carrier will treat the delivery as commercial.
Commercial deliveries do not receive a scheduling call. The carrier will deliver during normal business hours without prior contact.
Because of this:
- Do not enter a company name unless the location is truly a commercial address with personnel available during business hours.
- If the carrier attempts delivery to a commercial-designated address and no one is available to receive the shipment, redelivery fees will apply.
