How much is delivery?
Hi, my name is Skylar and I’ll be happy to help here with all your questions Shipping? In addition to Local and Nationwide delivery options.
There are several contributing factors that attribute to how much the delivery cost will be.
Things like:
- Delivery Type – Residential Delivery | Commercial Delivery
- Distance – How much fuel will it take to get there
- Offloading, Truck type, Labor
- Inside Delivery, Sort & Segregate, Appointments
- Weight
- Volume
- Capacity
- Dimensions
These are most of the parameters that will determine how much something will cost to ship to you while you are shopping. Most of our mosaics are able to ship via UPS and they offer several service options like Ground (3-5 Days), 3-Day Select (3 Days), 2-Day (2-Day Air), and Next Day Air (Delivered on the following business day). UPS does not deliver regular packages on Saturdays. However, they do have Saturday Delivery for an additional fee and it is a special request.
Sadly due to weight, UPS is not able to offer Ground solutions on every shipment and in these cases, we have partnered with 50+ national couriers who can deliver shipments via LTL (Less Than Truck-Load).
Please email us at sales@thelastinventory.com with the stock number of the item that you would like. The quantity of that item, the delivery zip code, and the delivery type (residential or commercial), and we will respond back to you after reaching out to all the couriers above and supply you with the most competitive rate typically within hours.
Example:
Within 24 hours, we will respond back to you with the cost of delivery and the total cost of goods and delivery.
But Wait, Skylar…..I live in Texas may I come and pick up my order? Yes, yes you may. We have two retail locations and multiple distribution centers in Texas where we can make arrangements with the warehouse management team that will facilitate a local pick-up solution for you and they will load you up, too!
Okay, I have another question. What if I live close, but I have a car and I know my car won’t be able to handle the weight of my order?
No problem. we have local partners with smaller trucks equipped with lift gates who can serve you. Please shoot us an email with the same information as above and we will ask our local partners for a rate on your delivery and we will respond back with their offer.
Okay, Skylar, Thank you for covering the residential side of delivery, but I’m a commercial buyer and I have a dock and forklift. What’s the scenario for me?
Great question, and it’s similar to residential delivery rates, but we will discount that rate for you since it is a no-touch delivery. Shoot us an email and include dock to dock and we will respond with your discounted delivery rate and the total order cost.
Thank you for checking us out again. Come back soon and we will see you next time.
