we will choose the best way unless otherwise requested.

of boxes, and the distance of the shipment. Small package orders in
excess of 200 lbs may qualify for additional shipping cost savings. Call
to inquire.

Once you place an item in your shopping cart, you may enter your zip code to determine the shipping rate.


How long do shipments take? Top
In-stock items usually leave our warehouse within one business day
and the average delivery time is 2-4 business days. Unfortunately,
specific shipment dates cannot be guaranteed, due to possible material
shortages, accidents, strikes, governmental regulations and other
factors and conditions beyond our control. However, if you need to know
if an item is in stock, please call or email us.


Can I have an order rush shipped? Top
Some items may be eligible for rush shipment via FedEx. Additional
shipping charges do apply. If this is a service you need, please call us
to inquire.


What countries do you ship to? Top
Currently we only ship within the United States; however our website
only accepts contiguous U.S. shipments. Alaskan, and Hawaiian
customers are urged to call us to place orders.


Do you ship to P.O. Boxes? Top
Since we do not ship via the U.S. Postal Service, we are unable to ship to P.O. boxes.


Will I have to sign for my packages? Top
While we do not require a signature, there are times when the
delivery company will require a signature; this is done at their
discretion.


How can I track my package? Top
For all online orders, once an item has shipped you will receive an email
containing the tracking number. In addition, you may visit our “Order

damage or contained defective please call us within 3 business days to
report any damage. Please make sure to keep the damaged merchandise,
carton, and packing material so they can be inspected and the liability
determined.


Must I accept damaged product? Top
That depends on how bad the damage is. If there is extensive damage
and the merchandise cannot be salvaged, the driver may agree to total
refusal of shipment. If the merchandise is not totally damaged, you must
accept it—but be sure to have the driver note and initial the damage on
the delivery receipt.
Keep the damaged merchandise, carton, and packing material so they
can be inspected and the liability determined. You may file a claim with
the carrier or contact us for further instructions at 1-864-659-0017.
You must pay all additional costs incurred if any shipments are returned
to us as a result of your unexcused delay or failure to accept proper
delivery.

NOTE:
It is very important that you examine each carton in the presence of
the driver, at the time of delivery, because according to federal law,
once you sign for merchandise, you become responsible for it. The only
exception is if you or the driver note any damage on the delivery
receipt at the time of delivery. We are bound by time constraints
imposed by freight companies and the law. Claims received by the carrier
after fifteen (15) calendar days from the delivery date cannot be
honored, so you must notify us within ten (10) calendar days of delivery
if you want us to help you process the claim.
