Shipping a heavy concrete street bench is usually more expensive than people expect because these benches are dense and awkward to move. For a typical bench weighing 400–800 lbs, standard freight delivery usually adds $200–$600 to the purchase price. If the bench is closer to 1,000 lbs, requires liftgate service, or has to travel across the country, shipping can add $700–$1,200 or more. In percentage terms, most buyers should plan for shipping to add about 15–35% of the bench price. A local commercial delivery with a forklift on site may only add $150–$300, while a residential delivery with liftgate service can easily add another $75–$150. The main cost factors are palletized weight and crate dimensions, freight class, pickup and delivery zip codes, fuel surcharges, liftgate service, and whether the destination has a loading dock. Before you order a concrete street bench, ask for a freight quote that includes liftgate and residential delivery so you can compare the true delivered price.
