How can I save money on shipping?
Short Answer: Increase your order size. Bulk orders are far, far more economical per unit to ship than small orders of a few hundred pounds.
Long Answer: Add a few items to your shopping cart, visit the Cart page and enter your shipping info. Try changing the quantities in your cart to immediately see how freight changes. Large orders may even ship free, depending on your location.
What is LTL and why is it the only shipping option available?
LTL stands for Less-than-Truckload motor freight. For orders over a few hundred pounds, LTL is usually a much more cost effective shipping method than shipping in cardboard boxes.
When will my LTL order be delivered?
If your order is placed before 10:00am on a weekday, it will likely be shipped on the same day.
Once you’ve added some items to your shopping cart, head over to the Checkout page and enter your address. A freight quote will be generated instantly with the estimated transit time to your location.
What should I do if I’m not around my farm when the LTL truck arrives?
Truck drivers cannot unload your order by themselves and will need you or an employee present.
However, if you request a delivery appointment when you check out, the trucking company will call you to schedule delivery.
Please note that delivery appointments increase your delivery time by at least a day. If you need something fast, it’s better not to request an appointment.
Can you ship LTL to my address?
LTL shipments are delivered on full-size 53ft tractor trailers. Your property must have enough room for the delivery truck to turn around.
A loading dock is the most cost-effective way to unload a large truck. If you don’t have a loading dock, an additional “Limited Access” fee will apply. If you don’t have a forklift either, a liftgate fee will apply as well.
