URBAN BENCHES

Planning a large order of benches for a commercial project, public space, or community area? Understanding your delivery options and the associated costs is crucial for budgeting and logistics. For bulk orders, standard parcel couriers typically aren't feasible. Instead, freight shipping is the standard. Costs are not a flat rate but are calculated based on factors like total weight and dimensions (often calculated as freight class or density), delivery distance, and the accessibility of your delivery location. A shipment going to a business with a loading dock will cost less than one requiring a lift gate truck for curbside delivery or further handling. You generally have two service levels: curbside delivery (the driver is not responsible for moving items inside) and white glove/inside delivery (which includes placement and sometimes assembly). To get an accurate quote, be prepared with your exact bench model, quantity, shipment origin zip code, and destination zip code. Always request a detailed quote from your supplier that breaks down the freight charges and clearly states what the service includes. For very large orders, ask about dedicated truckload options, which can sometimes be more economical than multiple Less-Than-Truckload (LTL) shipments. Pro tip: Consolidating your order and planning for delivery to a location with easy freight access are the best ways to manage costs effectively.
