For orders over 60 sq.ft, they are shipped palletized. Our chosen LTL carrier will contact you to scheduled your curbside delivery. An adult over the age of 18 must be present to sign and accept pallet(s). Carrier will drop off pallet on curbside or driveway.

What should I do if the packaging is damaged?
Whether order arrives palletized or FedEx ground, you still want to accept your order. However, for palletized orders you must sign for the pallet as "damaged." Once carrier has left, inspect all contents.
