Shipping

Thank your for shopping at www.TheShelvingStore.com. We have chosen to partner with UPS as our shipping provider. If your order is too large for UPS ground then we will ship your order on a pallet via ABF Freight or UPS Freight. In either event you will be sent a tracking number after your order has shipped. Our goal is to ship your order within 24 - 48 hours after payment has cleared. Our hours of operation are Monday - Friday 8:00 am to 5:00 pm EST. If you require additional shipping services please contact us at 1-800-637-9508 or by e-mail customerservice@theshelvingstore.com. If you require changes to your shipping address after we have shipped your order additional shipping charges (address correction) will apply.

How Are Items Shipped?

We ship your order using the fastest, safest, and most reliable method possible. In order to provide you with an optimal delivery experience, we have developed close relationships wit the best delivery companies nationwide, ensuring that each product on our site has been carefully selected to ship by a particular shipping method.

We will notify you via email when your order ships. The email will include a tracking number for your shipment. Most companies provide an estimated delivery date. Be sure to contact us if you have concerns regarding the progress of the shipment. We have two methods of shipment available: Small Parcel and Truck Freight.

Small Parcel

Whenever possible we will ship smaller, lighter items via UPS, FEDEX, DHL or USPS. These companies provide the fastest and most reliable method of shipping available for many items we sell. Depending on how close you are to the shipping warehouse, your item will arrive between 1 and 6 business days (1 to 10 business days for USPS) after it leaves the warehouse.

We do not require an adult signature for deliveries, however the decision to leave your package without a signature is left to the discretion of the delivery person. If you'd like an item left at your doorstep, please leave a note on your door asking the driver to leave your package with "No Signature Required." Be sure to include your name and tracking number on the note.

Truck Freight

Several items may be too large or too heavy to ship using a Small Parcel carrier. Therefore, our best option is to ship it to you using a common carrier. Truck freight is different than standard UPS, FedEx or US Mail in that you will be responsible for carrying the product from the truck to wherever it's going. You may also be contacted by the shipping carrier to schedule a delivery appointment. Most companies offer appointment windows (usually 2-4 hours) between 8:00 am and 5:00 pm EST, Monday through Friday.

The most important thing to remember about truck freight is that you must inspect the package at the time of delivery. If there is any reason for you to be at all concerned about damage, please write PRODUCT DAMAGED clearly on the sheet that they ask you to sign. This simply ensures that if there is any damage, it will be easily taken care of.

When ordering a very large item, please keep in mind that you may need assistance unloading it. Most truck freight companies offer additional services to help you move items from their truck. Once we email you the tracking information you can contact the shipper directly to inquire about these services. You would be responsible for directly paying the truck freight carrier for additional services.

How Long Will it Take to Get My Order?

You can expect to receive in stock items within 3 - 10 days.

Ground Shipping

In order to keep your cost down and our pricing simple, we ship via UPS or FedEx ground or USPS freight according to the weights of the products and the current UPS ground rate schedule. This charge, is listed on the product detail page and covers ground shipping in the continental U.S. Unless you are shipping an order to Michigan (6% sales tax), your order total will be known before you begin checkout. We won't surprise you with any hidden charges or handling fees. The price you see is the price you pay. We keep it simple-our pricing is straightforward and all-inclusive, which saves you time and energy.

International Shipping

At this time, we only ship orders to destinations in the 50 United States and its official territories. In select cases, we may not be able to ship an order to Hawaii, Alaska, or Puerto Rico.
