Shipping Options

Curbside Delivery: Items eligible for free shipping or with freight costs are for curbside delivery only, not including inside delivery, liftgate, or additional accessorials. Such services must be pre-approved and indicated on your order. Unless inside delivery is arranged and paid for during purchase, the driver will not transport your delivery to the door or inside your premises. If you request additional delivery services from the carrier and they are performed, any incurred fees will be charged to your payment method on file. It's advised to prepay for these services to avoid potential extra fees imposed by the carrier post-delivery.

Residential Locations: Orders destined for residential locations may incur additional fees.

Limited Access Locations: Orders shipping to limited access locations like hotels, universities, prisons, military bases, country clubs, etc., may be subject to additional fees.

Extended Area Locations: Orders shipping to extended area locations, including high-density areas, less populated areas, or less accessible regions, may incur additional fees.

Liftgate: Liftgate service facilitates the transfer of your equipment from the freight truck to ground level. While usually optional, it's recommended for customers lacking a loading dock or forklift onsite. Some items, even those weighing around 100 lbs, necessitate liftgate service due to liability concerns. The driver may not allow you to remove the freight without the liftgate service. If an item ships via freight to a residential location, liftgate service is obligatory.  

Some items can weigh hundreds of pounds, and could cause severe injuries if a liftgate is not used.  

Parcel to Freight: If items typically delivered by parcel carriers must be shipped by a freight delivery company due to order quantities, additional shipping costs may apply. We'll inform you of any extra costs and seek approval to charge your card for the difference.

Freight Brokers: Shipments to freight or package forwarding companies may require payment via Check, ACH, or Wire Transfer.

Delivery Notification: Orders may include a delivery notification service, whereby the carrier contacts you to arrange or inform you of delivery attempts. As some carriers levy additional fees for this service, please contact us before placing your order for a quote.

Reconsignments & Redeliveries: Additional fees may be incurred if a shipment necessitates reconsignment, relocation, or redelivery due to reasons such as incorrect addresses or customer unavailability at the time of delivery.

The Culinary Craft Co, cannot get involved in arranging a time for delivery and is not liable for communications taken place between the carrier and customer.
