Liftgate delivery is provided for those businesses not equipped with a loading dock. There is an additional $50-$100 fee (depends on carrier) for liftgate service.
Residential Address without Liftgate Service -This shipping method should be chosen with extreme caution. Most residential areas are not suitable for delivery without a liftgate. The driver, in most cases, will NOT be able to assist with the unloading of the shipment. Residential delivery is also defined as curbside delivery to your home (it does not include inside delivery). If you are not willing or able to accept curbside delivery by yourself, you will have to make arrangements to have someone there to help. In some cases, where the shipment is too heavy for the driver to place on the ground all at once, you may be required to assist the driver to get your cabinet order removed from the delivery truck. Therefore, it is very important to have someone there that is physically capable of helping if necessary.
Residential Address with Liftgate Service – Most residential deliveries via common carrier should choose this method. Freight carriers prevent their drivers from assisting with the unloading of heavy equipment other than to lower it via the liftgate to ground level. Please have the necessary manpower available to receive your items with limited delay to the driver. There is an additional $50-$100 fee (depending on carrier) for liftgate service.
