Curious? Here's how it works. Hint: understanding this might help you save $! 

1. LTL FREIGHT V. COURIER

LTL FREIGHT:

There are two different reasons to ship LTL:

  1. Orders with 10' ft long products go by LTL Freight. (In most cases, the base charge for LTL is a pallet that is 10' long X 40" wide and 300 lbs). Rates do not calculate automatically at checkout.
  2. Orders that only include products that are 8' long or less, but the volume is high (ie 4 or more complete 8' jumps or equal volume). Shipping rates automatically at checkout, but depending on your location, LTL may be more cost effective!

In both cases, please reach out for a shipping quote:

REGULAR COURIER:

Small orders that only include products 8' ft long or less go by regular courier networks and are typically cost effective. The rates calculate automatically at checkout.

NOTE: Items that ship for free don't add anything to shipping cost, even when sent with items where shipping applies. 

2. ORDER VOLUME

Shipping large volumes is more cost effective. Automatic tools don't calculate those savings effectively, BUT WE DO!

Here are the options:

  1. Orders including standard (8' long or less) products:
  • Check out with our automatic shipping tool. (On packing, if we find that the pre-calculated cost is more than the actual cost, we refund the difference); OR
  • Contact us for a shipping quote!

2. Orders including oversized (10' long) products: 

3. DELIVERY LOCATION

Did you know that a key factor in shipping cost relates directly to the receiver's distance from a main centre?

While it may be simplest to have your equipment delivered directly to your farm, if the rate is high, consider a more central delivery location (such as a friend's house or a nearby depot that will hold for pickup).

For standard sized orders (including products 8' ft or less), simply try the alternate address in our automatic calculating tool at checkout!

For oversize products (including 10' ft products) and large orders, provide the alternate shipping address when you request the quote and we will provide quotes for both. 

 

I hope you find these tips helpful!

As always, don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions!
