Shipping

When will my order arrive?

Most of our suppliers ship their products in 1 to 2 days. Custom items such as personalized fire pits will take longer. To give you an idea of when it will leave the warehouse check the ‘Usually Ships Within’ time listed on the product detail screen of the item you are ordering.

Actual delivery of your order will then take the following additional amount of time to arrive depending on how your package is being shipped:

• Parcel Freight Standard Ground Service: The average shipping time is 3 to 6 days depending on where you are in relation to the shipping warehouse (The USPS sometimes may take a little longer).
• Parcel Freight Express Services: 3 Day, 2nd Day, or Next Day are self-explanatory. Please note that this will not affect the pre-ship processing time in any way.
• Truck Freight: After your order has been shipped, the item will usually be delivered in 4 to 7 days. If the item is being delivered to a residential address, an appointment for a delivery time will be made upon the arrival of your order at the local terminal. For deliveries to a commercial address, no appointment will be made. However, if you anticipate that there will be no one to accept the delivery on delivery day, call the shipper to arrange an appointment.

Your order confirmation email will include approximate delivery schedule and tracking information.

What time will my order arrive?

Delivery times will depend on the local delivery schedule of the carrier, and it may not be possible to make an appointment. Generally, parcel freight ground delivery is available Monday to Saturday 9am to 8pm.

Do I need to be there when my order arrives?

• Parcel Freight: For ground and express shipments you usually do not have to be there. A signature is not typically required. If you are not there to accept delivery, the product will be left if it is safe to do so. If it is not safe to leave the package (at the discretion of the delivery personnel according to the carriers’ policies) or if a signature is required the product will not be left at the address and you will be notified by the carrier of attempted delivery.
• Truck Freight: In general, a signature is required and somebody must be there to receive the order. The shipping company will call you in advance to schedule a delivery appointment window. Please note that if you are not available for a delivery appointment or the carrier cannot contact you, the order will be held for you for several days at the carriers’ facility. After a couple of days there may be a storage charge from the carrier for this service. After a reasonable time, the order will be returned to the manufacturer for credit according to the manufactures returns policy. See 'Returns Policy' for complete information.

Where is truck freight delivered to?

The carrier generally delivers the package to the front curb or driveway at the shipping address (parking lot or stairway landing in the case of multi-floor apartments). It is the customer's responsibility to bring the product into the house, garage or apartment. If the item is heavy please make sure that you have assistance to move it. Inside delivery across the threshold of your residence may also be available from the carrier at an extra charge.
