Please note: Purchases made under the industrial price list do not qualify for shipping discounts or free delivery; shipping charges are calculated at full rate based on weight, volume, and destination.
How Freight Costs Are Calculated
Shipping costs are calculated automatically in your shopping cart prior to order confirmation based on:
- Total weight and package dimensions;
- Delivery address and province/postal area (please ensure shipping details are accurate to avoid carrier adjustment fees);
- Volumetric parcel stacking: our algorithm automatically calculates the most efficient combination of items to minimize the number of packages and reduce transport costs.
All shipping charges include order preparation and packaging handling. Separate orders cannot be merged retroactively and will incur distinct shipping costs.
Understanding Freight Rates for Oversized or Single Items
Most of our wood products travel on pallets. Standard pallet transport tariffs are based on a minimum footprint of 1.2 m² and 80 cm in height. As a result, shipping a single small box often costs almost the same as shipping multiple items packed together: the more you maximize pallet volume, the lower the shipping impact per unit.
For bulky consignments or deliveries close to our manufacturing facility, we also deploy dedicated freight vehicles to guarantee the most competitive rates.
Delivery Terms and Additional Services
- Curbside delivery: Delivery is strictly curbside (street level) at the nearest accessible point for the transport vehicle.
- Telephone notification: Drivers will contact you by telephone prior to arrival.
- Hydraulic tail lift: For palletized freight over 50 kg, a tail lift is requested by default whenever supported by the carrier's truck.
- Floor delivery / manual carrying: Floor delivery or manual unloading inside buildings is not included. If required, it must be requested and quoted prior to dispatch.
Deliveries to Minor Islands and Venice Lagoon
Orders to the Venice Lagoon and minor/offshore islands incur carrier surcharges.
This supplement is quoted and communicated after checkout. If you find the carrier surcharge unacceptable, you may cancel your order at no penalty with a 100% full refund.
