Some product shipping dimensions are too large in size and too heavy in weight to ship using regular shipping methods.

These kinds of packages will require a freight shipment. Keep in mind that freight shipments may be delayed due to special shipping and handling for the package.

We can arrange a UPS pickup for your package. We will simply need a day (Monday – Friday) and a 4-hour time window (ex: 9 am to 2 pm) when you will be at your address to schedule the pickup. The product must be fully packaged up and the shipping label printed for UPS to pick up the package. Some large/heavy products may require a freight pickup.
