up to 150 lbs (70 kg)
b. Packages can be
up to 165 inches (419 cm) in length and girth combined
c. Packages can be
up to 108 inches (270 cm) in length
2.) How much does it cost to ship a large item? This
depends on what it is and where you are. We are located
in Rochester, New York. The further you are from us, the
higher the cost to ship. In general, shipping of large
items starts at about $125 and tops at about $500 with a
few exceptions for extremely large items. (See examples
in #6)
3.) Are there any additional expenses involved with
shipping things via Motor Freight? Yes. There are
crating fees which range from $50 to $150 in most cases.
These fees apply to all antique items that must be
shipped via freight, such as doors, mantels, cabinetry,
bath tubs, kitchen sinks, and some bathroom sinks.
4.) How long does it take to get to me via Freight? We
make every effort to transport your purchase to the
crating company within a few days of your purchase. From
there, it takes a few more days to have a custom crate
manufactured, and then we transport the crated item to
the trucking company. This process takes at least one
week. At that point, the trucking company has the item
and time in transit depends on where you are located.
LTL shipments from Rochester to San Francisco take 4
days in transit.

particular item? To get an exact amount please email us
