Freight Policy
Pails, half drums and drums of chain are freight paid (continental US only) on items marked "FREE Freight!"
About truck shipments (not UPS) to residential addresses:
Extra carrier imposed delivery charges are not included in our FREE Freight offer. Arrange to have your shipment sent to a commercial address with a fork lift and preferably a loading dock to avoid the following additional carrier imposed charges: lift gate fee (as much as $95.00), residential fees (as much as $45.00), delivery notification calls (as much as $40.00) and re-deliveries if no one is available to accept delivery OR if they have to come back because the "commercial" address was actually residential.
On all other items we do not calculate freight charges on our website. We will charge you only the freight we are charged to ship your order.
Below are some approximate UPS rates to help you estimate what your freight will be on some common items. We will be happy to quote exact rates at your request.
This chart is based on shipments from the Chicagoland area. If one of our warehouse affiliates in
Atlanta, Dallas or Portland, Oregon is closer to you and has stock, the zone will change in your favor.

We always ship the cheapest way and have negotiated special contracts with carriers wherever possible.
These are commercial rates. UPS charges a little more for residential delivery.
We will send your freight charges by return email on request. If you don't agree that they are fair or it's not what you expected, you may cancel your order by calling us at 800-523-2367. You can cancel by email but email servers can sometimes be hours in delivery and by that time, your order may already be out the door.
