There are three types of freight quotes: 

  1. Residential, (called Curbside, Driver has lift-gate truck and offloads at your curb. You must be there to receive the order. The driver's legal responsibility ends at the curb. If he has time and for a decent gratuity ($20.00 or so), the driver may move your pallets into the garage or carport. If you do not compensate him, he may report your delivery as "inside delivery" and you may be charged additional $150.00 dollars, since they will charge the Packing House, the Packing House will charge me and I will be forced to pass on the additional shipping costs to you.

  2. Business to business in a commercial or industrial zone (accommodates 18 wheelers easily, can be as simple as the local feed store.) with loading dock or forklift.  You would supply the business name, contact information, address and telephone number, which would become your ship to address.

  3. Terminal nearest your zip code by our affiliate companies. You would pick up there and transport to your storage area. We will supply the name of the company, address, and telephone number, which would be part of your ship to address.

 UPS changes nearly every week. Please, email, fax or phone an order. We will make a Proof Invoice and send to you by email. If you provide a shipping address, we will provide S&H quotes. Proof Invoices need to be proof read for accuracy. They may be changed, corrected, cancelled or confirmed. 

At 800 lb. we start residential and business freight quotes for pallet orders. The first really good discount is somewhere between 1150 lb. and 1300 lb. The maximum pallet of foods packed for long term storage (Super Pails, #10 Cans, #2.5 cans, Wet packed Canned Real Meats and Freeze Dried Fruits and Vegetables), may consist up to 36 Super Pails (SP) or Buckets + Cans not to exceed 1,600 lbs. Pallets of bulk foods not packed for long term storage in bulk bags or boxes start at 1,000 lb. and go up to 2,000 lb. per pallet.  

 

Note: On Commercial or Residential Freight Only, pallet sizes have been reduced to further prevent damages to your pallet orders. You can now fit 36 Regular or Super Pail buckets and Water Drums on one pallet or 42 cases of #10 cans plus Water Drums  on one pallet! Combination Bucket orders plus cans the average weight limit has been lowered to around 1,600 lbs. per pallet. 

Larger orders may be divided into two or more shrink wrapped pallets, still with reasonable shipping via Commercial or Residential Freight. Please, call toll free above for quotes (quotes may take up to 4 working days)! 

 

 


 

 

All Shipping Rates are subject to change without notice, all estimated rates above must be confirmed!

Notes:
1. Commercial Trucks: Normally this method is used for orders of 1,000 lbs. or more.  We generally use Oak Harbor, Old Dominion or Yellow Freight, because they offer a large discount with our volume, which we pass onto the customer. Please, call for a quote. We are charged by the hundredweight with the exception of Water Drums and other items that have a large volume, but small weight.  A Pro number will be given to you at the time of shipment and you will be responsible to check the delivery schedule, meet and receive your pallets. For an additional fee, we can guarantee delivery within certain time frames. Please, let us know. if you want the additional guarantee quote, when you call. If you choose, commercial freight, Residential Delivery may be much higher than Commercial delivery. If possible, find a business with a fork lift and loading dock or a freight depot in your area, that will allow your pallets to be delivered at their address. This could save you up to $350.00 in shipping charges. Sometimes, freight depots will charge you a bit to use their facilities usually in the $50.00 - $100.00 range. You would need to pick up the order promptly to avoid storage charges. Commercial Freight Quotes are good for only 20 days! Trucking companies reserve the right to change the charges without notice, but if your order ships within the 20 days, they are good about honoring the quote!

2. Pallets: A pallet will generally average 1600 lbs. 36 buckets/pallet plus cans or 42 cases of #10 cans/pallet or some combination thereof. You may choose between B2B rates (less expensive) and residential rates (more convenient, but more expensive). If you choose B2B, then make arrangements with a local business with a loading dock and fork lift to receive your pallets. Their business address will become your shipping address.  The more pallets, the less expensive to ship each pallet. A Pro number will be given at the time of the shipment  with the name and telephone of the Shipping Company. You will be responsible to check the delivery date and receive your pallets. If you are choosing residential delivery, then it will be your responsibility to meet the truck and pallet(s). Please, note any obvious damage on the paper, before you sign off for the order.
