About Freight and Shipping |

A load shipping via commercial truck
freight. |
A load shipping via our fleet of
delivery trucks. |
We
ship most smaller items freight free.
It’s really not free, we add what we
hope is enough to get it to you in the
selling price. We might lose $10 on a
Fed Ex shipment from Indiana to
California and the Michigan, or Ohio
customers might pay $5 more so no one
suffers and it usually all averages out.
Large items like jet ski floats and
docks are different. In Indiana,
Michigan, Ohio and Illinois we usually
ship on our fleet of deliver trucks with
our company drivers. Because we do so
much business in these states freight is
usually inexpensive; $100 to $200.
Commercial truck line freight is more
complicated. Some internet sellers have
a click here for freight quote. They add
costs to average out the rate, like we
do on smaller items. The problem is we
might have to add $100-$250 to cover the
“spread” for truck freight shipping.
There are so many variables in
commercial truck freight. You might live
in an out of the way location but if the
truck line has a terminal nearby, the
cost might be reasonable. We believe
that if you’re going to spend $1,000+
with us, we want to get you an accurate
freight quote. Our customers tell us
that we are usually less than other when
it comes to freight costs. If we’re
higher, you can figure it out and buy
accordingly.
Most customers might not mind paying $5
extra for a ladder to subsidize someone
else's freight, if the price is still
fair. However we don’t think you want to
pay $150+ to subsidize someone else's
truck freight. Please contact us for an
accurate truck freight quote. All we
need is your address and zip code. We’ll
contact a freight broker and get you the
best price, usually within the hour. |
