RUBBER FLOORING SHIPPING Options
IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT SHIPPING QUALITY FLOORING: Premium flooring is very heavy. Due to the weight, it is impossible to have UPS or FedEx drop your order at your front door or stuff it in your mailbox. Not to worry! We offer FREE SHIPPING on many of our products and offer the lowest rates on additional shipping services. Simply click "Checkout" below and we will display the best shipping options for you to choose from. In order to get the products to you we offer 3 options for shipping.
Option #1
Local Terminal Pick Up
$ - The cheapest option
It involves you picking up the order with your own vehicle from a nearby shipping terminal. Depending on the type of vehicle you have for pickup, the items can be loaded on a pallet by a forklift or you can manually load the product into your vehicle.
Option #2
Shipped to a Business
$$ - A more expensive option
It involves having the products shipped to a local business you have a relationship with. Once the truck arrives it is up to you to have equipment like a fork lift to remove the items or have the manpower to lift the heavy rubber rolls off the delivery truck.
Option #3
Shipped to Your Home
$$$ - The most expensive option
This is the simplest option for most customers. It involves a box truck coming to your home and making the delivery. The items can be lifted out of the truck by the customer or for an additional fee a liftgate can be provided and the delivery made to the street level.
Examples of Shipped Rubber Rolls
Below are examples of how our products look when shipped and placed into a van at the local terminal
This shows how one rubber flooring roll comes on a pallet. The average weight of the roll of this type is 150lbs. The pallet is 40" x 48".
Here a passenger van is prepped for the rubber roll. Using round pieces of wood makes it easier for one individual to load the roll alone.
In this image you can see the rubber roll about 8' long being placed inside the passenger van at the local terminal.
Finally, the 5 gallon bucket of glue and the rubber roll are ready for transport to be installed as your gym flooring.
