Freight Deliveries (Commercial Equipment)
Many commercial kitchen products, including tandoor ovens and oversized restaurant equipment, ship via freight carrier.
Freight shipments typically include:
- Curbside delivery only
- Delivery appointment scheduling by the carrier
- Delivery during standard business hours
Please note:
- A person must be present to receive and inspect freight deliveries
- Additional services such as lift gate delivery, inside delivery, or residential delivery may require additional charges
- Customers are responsible for ensuring the delivery location is accessible for freight carriers
Freight deliveries are typically curbside only and may require a scheduled delivery appointment. Certain oversized, commercial, or freight-shipped products may have additional shipping requirements listed directly on the product page.

Shipping charges are calculated based on:
- Product size and weight
