Shipping policy

Block 4 Direct, LLC, Inc. offers shipping on all orders placed online at Block 4 Direct, LLC.com. This shipping rate is for standard ground speed shipping and only applies to the contiguous (lower 48) United States of America. Items going to Alaska or Hawaii may require additional shipping charges, and our shopping cart does not calculate those charges. In those cases, you will be contacted by a Block 4 Direct, LLC team member for additional payment instructions.

We have a minimum $15 shipping charge.

All shipments are FOB shipping point. Items of differing size and weight may ship independently, by different methods, even if ordered together. Most items will be sent UPS Ground or USPS Priority Mail, and all items will have tracking. Generally, items individual or combined weighing over 50lbs are too large to be shipped safely by UPS and may be sent by LTL truck. Shipping method and carrier selection shall be the sole discretion of Block 4 Direct, LLC, Inc., unless the customer wishes to have us ship their item Collect on their account. Title and risk of loss pass to the customer upon tender of shipment to the carrier. In the event of LTL damages we follow the NMFC (National Motor Freight Classification) laws that are regulated by the Federal Government.

Someone must be present to accept truck deliveries. Standard truck delivery is to a dock facility designed to receive freight. RESIDENTIAL DELIVERIES OR DELIVERIES REQUIRING LIFT GATE OR OTHER SPECIALTY EQUIPMENT ARE AVAILABLE FOR AN ADDITIONAL CHARGE. Residential addresses include private homes, apartments, schools, preschools, day cares, camps, farms, public storage facilities, businesses operating within a private residence, and other such locations not generally recognized as commercial locations and shall apply to the entire premises. If it is determined that your location cannot accept a standard delivery, you will have two options.

  1. Block 4 Direct, LLC will contact you and we can still arrange the delivery via truck, but at an additional cost to our $15 flat rate shipping. This cost will be determined by our LTL carrier and is passed directly on to the Customer at no additional markup.
  2. Block 4 Direct, LLC can arrange to have your shipment sent to a commercial address where a fork lift is available.
