How do shipping costs work for crown mouldings?
The shorter the lengths, the cheaper the shipping:
Carriers charge extra for lengths over 8 feet and even more for lengths over 12 feet. For this reason the best price on shipping is achieved by ordering shorter eight foot lengths, if you don't mind the additional labor for installation.
Ordering longer lengths of crown moulding and trim saves on your labour or the cost of labour but may be a bit more expensive to ship; still, the savings that you realize through buying direct from the manufacturer/distributor should offset the cost of shopping elsewhere.
What about Wrought Iron Products:
We stock a small amount of wrought iron products in our Surrey British Columbia warehouse; however, the majority of items are shipped from the Houston distribution facility. With over 5,000 products available, this turns out to be the most cost effective method of inventory control.
Although shipping is from the United States, we take care of all of all customs clearance and duties applicable so that your Italian wrought iron can arrive on your door step with the least effort on your part.
What about power tools
All of our power tools are in stock here in British Columbia allowing us to ship them out within two or three business days.
Add it all together before comparing prices:
The price to compare from one supplier to another should be the total that it costs to get the product to your door along with any additional costs associated with home installation. R-Wholesale.com starts with a comparative or less expensive price. Add in the cost of shipping your mouldings (remember: free shipping for orders over $2,000.00) keeping in mind the labor savings, as there are less joins when installing contractor length mouldings.
Is R-Wholesale.com right for me?
Since we are a manufacturer adn distributor first, we are set up best to receive larger orders as that is what the dealers normally send us. These orders often start around $2,500.00.
While our pricing for individual products is very good, the online pricing is often set up to get better, the more product you order. You may find that ordering just one item comes to the same price as it would if you had you purchased it else ware. Given this information, you need to decide what is best for your particular situation.
My purhase is only $500.00 and I am paying $150.00 for shipping?
We hear this question or questions like this once in a while when people are ordering. It is important to remember that you are receiving an extremely large discount when you purchase from R-Wholesale.com; but unfortunately, we do not own a shipping company, so they charge us what they charge anyone shipping the volume of freight that we do in a given month.
Another comparison would be the cost of purchasing these same wrought iron or polyurethane products at retail prices. You might be paying $900.00 for the same products and still have to pay $150.00 for shipping. This certainly looks better as a ratio, but it adds up to much more than you need to spend.
Why do some polyurethane products take so long to ship?
Some items may show a longer shipping date than others. One reason for this is that we are manufacturers and while we do stock some profiles, many of our profiles are manufactured to order.
Are the shipping dates for polyurethane profiles a promise?
What if my order for polyurethane mouldings is for a very large number of lengths or pieces?
Good question. We apply a date to items adjusted to what we think is the maximum time required to produce an average size order of that product at this time. For larger orders, or in the event that a molding or architectural detail may be held up due to current orders or machinery breakdown, we will notify you immediately providing an estimated ship date so that you will have the option to change your order accordingly.
Can I call in my order rather than ordering it online?
In all cases it is best to go ahead and order online, as it allows us to spend our time on what we do best . . . manufacturing. If you need to discuss a large order, we would be pleased to help out and even take your order over the phone if necessary.
If you just need to chat about a medallion, a couple of blocks or one room of mouldings you may be best served by calling one of the online dealers that are set up with order desks for this purpose. At R-Wholesale.com the same person that might talk with you on the phone also spends time on the floor and in other offices of the company.
I do not like offering my credit card on line.
