At delivery

Outside our delivery area (LTL freight)
- Beyond our local area we can ship by LTL freight on orders of $500 or more.
- Freight is not charged at checkout. We quote the freight cost, add it to your order and confirm with you before it ships.
- Freight transit times are set by the carrier.
- If a freight shipment arrives damaged or short, note it on the carrier's delivery receipt before signing and tell us within 24 hours, with photos. We'll handle the claim with the carrier and replace or credit the damaged items.
Out-of-stock items
- If an item on your order is out of stock when we pick it, we will leave it off or offer a substitute you approve.
- You're only charged for what you receive. Any amount already paid for missing items is refunded to your original payment method.
