Why is bulk product shipping so expensive?

Modified on Mon, 26 Apr, 2021 at 1:38 PM

Shipping of our bulk containers is very expensive. We have relationships with many carriers and try to find the best option based on pricing, shipping delivery and customer service.


In addition to the shipping cost. There are often ancillary costs. Here are some of the additional costs which are levied:


  • No dock (street level delivery - tail gate used): $25.00 - $80.00;
  • Delivery appointment time: $25.00 - $100.00; and
  • Inside delivery: $25.00 - $150.00 (sometimes calculated on an hourly rate).


***The based rates are variance rates supplied/levied by the carriers and are outside our control.***


Tip: We can help you reduce the Free Shipping thresholds by suggesting changes to the Receiving location/ set-up.
