URBAN BENCHES

When placing a large order for urban benches, understanding your delivery options is crucial for project planning and budget management. Most manufacturers and suppliers offer several shipping methods tailored for bulky outdoor furniture. Standard freight shipping is the most common solution, where benches are palletized and delivered via commercial trucking services. For exceptionally large or heavy items, flatbed truck delivery might be recommended, especially for pre-assembled concrete or metal benches. Many suppliers also provide Less-Than-Truckload (LTL) options for orders that don't require a full trailer. The delivery process typically begins at the manufacturing facility where benches are properly crated or palletized for protection during transit. Most companies offer curbside delivery, meaning the truck will drop your order at the nearest accessible point to your installation site. For additional fees, you can often arrange for white-glove services including placement at specific locations or even professional installation. Delivery timelines can vary significantly based on order size, distance, and manufacturer location – typically ranging from 2-8 weeks after production completion. Be sure to discuss access limitations at your delivery site, such as narrow streets, low-hanging trees, or weight-restricted bridges, as these factors can impact both cost and delivery method. Many suppliers have dedicated logistics teams that can help you choose the most efficient and cost-effective shipping solution based on your specific requirements, delivery address, and timeline. Always request a detailed quote that breaks down shipping costs separately from product costs to better understand your total investment.
