Common Carrier to a Commercial Address with Liftgate: Commercial addresses are those defined by the corresponding carrier as commercial sites. Typically these addresses are zoned as commercial real estate. Liftgate delivery is provided for those businesses not equipped with a loading dock. Businesses being operated from homes, apartments, or other dwellings where people live on the premises are not considered commercial addresses.

Common Carrier to a Residential Address: This shipping method should be chosen with caution. Most residential areas are not suitable for delivery without a liftgate. The driver in most cases will NOT be able to assist with unloading the item.

Common Carrier to a Residential Address with Liftgate: Most residential deliveries via common carrier should choose this method. Note: Most carriers prevent their drivers from assisting with the unloading of heavy equipment other than to lower the delivery via the liftgate to ground level. Please have the necessary manpower available to receive your items with limited delay to the driver.

Sometimes a shipping delay may occur if our fraud prevention measures require further verification of the order. If the order must be shipped via a common carrier, we use several freight carrier utilities to calculate the cost. We also have optional upgrades for liftgate and residential delivery. If you need to ship to two or more addresses, you will need to process each order separately for each address.
