Would
you like to save $$ on Freight?
We all face
rising fuel costs and thus rising freight charges. We are able to
give you the lowest possible freight charges because we have:
- Negotiated
the lowest possible rates with UPS & Fedex, so you
save. We are high volume shippers with both.
- We have
negotiated VERY low truck rates with
a large, nationwide QUALITY truck line.
Larger shipments are at rock bottom rates, yet delivered on time
and safely. AND if there is a better rate out there, we will
work to get it!
- We purchase
custom made cardboard cartons that are sized just below UPS limits,
so we are able to fits as much merchandise in a box at the very
lowest rates.
HERE IS
WHAT YOU CAN DO:
-
Shipping Baskets: Baskets in nested sets SAVE YOU in freight.
Three baskets in a nested set fit into the SAME SPACE as
one. You get more merchandise for your shipping dollar. If possible,
buy baskets WITHOUT a high handle. Fruit
baskets with no handle, with side handles (ear handles), or drop
handles will stack and are much more economical to ship, because
you can get more in a box. It is all about getting the most value
in a box. Shipping may seem higher on less expensive baskets because
the value of the baskets is lower. We try to fit as many baskets
in a box as possible.
-
Weight of order: Whenever possible, order 200 pounds at a time. That gets a lower
rate (Hundred Weight UPS or FedEx Multi Weight.) Consolidate
orders- place 1 larger order rather than 2 smaller orders.
-
Truck orders: Try
to order pallet quantities - 500#-1000# are best for truck orders.
SOME COMMONLY
ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT FREIGHT:
What are your shipping charges?
All of our shipping fees are calculated
by weight, dimension and the location to which they are going. We do
not have any flat rate fees. When an order is placed with us, we pack
up what we have in stock. We pack as economically as possible. Then
we weigh the box and enter your address into the computer. The shipping
cost is then calculated by the computer. Therefore, it is impossible
for us to give any kind of a shipping estimate, and still be fair to
YOU. If we were to estimate, we would have to estimate high, which
we know our customers will not appreciate! However, if you request
it, we are happy to call you with a final total so that you know how
much the shipping cost is.
Can you give me an estimate of the shipping charges?
We are sorry, but with the great varities
of items that we have, varying in size and weight, and the huge differences
in distance, it is impossible to give a reliable estimate.
