Shipping & Delivery
Our products ships to customers anywhere in the Continental US Streets. Mega Stone products are HEAVY which makes it a different process of shipping when compared to other items you can purchase online like clothing, electronics, etc. Depending on the size and weight of your order, different method of shipment will be used.
- Items can be delivered to both residential or commercial addresses.
Shipping Companies
We contract third-party shippers and is solely the shipping facilitator.
- Small packages are usually shipped either with USPS, UPS or FedEx Ground Insured Shipping services.
- Larger packages (e.g. pallets) are shipped out with highly reliable, bonded freight companies (e.g. R&L Carriers, Central Transport, etc......).
- For local (South Florida) shipments, in addition to above options we may also use local delivery companies.
- AK and HI states; Unfortunately We do not ship any order over 70 lbs. to AK or HI.
- For larger orders, special shipping arrangements can be made and better shipping rates may be achieved. In these cases, when contacting us, please indicate whether you need the materials to be delivered to a residential address or a commercial address.
Liftgate vs. Forklift
Depending upon weight, volume and shipping company, many orders will need a truck with Liftgate Service upon delivery.
In certain cases where a lift gate is not available, a forklift will be required to unload the truck. We will always notify the customer before the order is placed if a forklift will be required to unload at delivery.
For commercial/business address deliveries, a loading/unloading dock will be needed at the receiving end and the materials will need to be offloaded with the help of unloading equipment (e.g. a forklift or a pallet jack).
