When Does Your Order Qualify for Freight Shipping?
First off, it’s good to know when your order tips the scales into the freight shipping category. Our aim is to get your materials to you in the best shape, at the right time, and freight shipping is perfect for those bigger orders. Here’s a quick checklist:
Long Products: If you’re ordering materials that are greater than 96 inches in length.
Flat Products: If you've selected materials greater than 36 x 48 inches in size.
Weight Matters: If your cart's total weight goes over 135 lbs.
If any of these apply, congratulations – your order is eligible for freight shipping!

Packaging: The First Step to Safe Delivery
When it comes to shipping, we know the journey your materials take is crucial. That's why orders qualifying for freight delivery are carefully packaged in either a cardboard box, crate, tube, or pallet, ensuring they’re snug and secure for their trip. Big or bulky, we’ve got the right packaging solution to protect your investment.
