Shipping
Our wide pine flooring is shipped by a reliable national commercial trucking company with
whom we have done business for decades. Depending upon quantity, there
are two types of packing.
The bill of lading includes your name, the delivery address, and the instruction "call before delivery" and the phone number you specify. When the trucking company calls to notify you of their intention to deliver your shipment, you then can make any necessary arrangements.

Volume Shipment
Large quantities are placed in the front end
of a 28 foot box trailer. A bulkhead is erected aft of the lumber to
prevent damage. From the time the shipment leaves here until it arrives
at your site, the lumber is untouched. In trucking terminology, this is
called a volume shipment.
Small Quantities Shipment
For smaller quantities (picture below), the boards are shipped in bundles; two vigorous people can handle a bundle. Each bundle is a stack of boards with a pair of boards protecting the sides of the stack. In trucking parlance, this type of shipment is designated as LTL.

Shipment Information
A bill of lading accompanies your shipment. The
trucking company can track the shipment throughout its course. As soon
as the shipment departs our yard, we notify you with all necessary
information including expected date of arrival.

Shipping Discounts
Although we have a very favorable discount arrangement with our
commercial trucker, because fuel prices have escalated astronomically
everybody is hurt. Ask whether we can provide a discount on our
discount - usually we can. We want your business.

There is no waiting. We can ship whenever you specify. If you have a
large order of several thousand feet, you would be prudent to give
advance notice to be sure we will have what you want when you want it.
