Do fees apply for residential service?
We define a business as a location that opens and closes to the general public at set times each day. You may be considered a residence if you are located in a residential zone, even if you open and close at set times. Schools, colleges, and churches located in residential zones may also incur residential fees. If the driver is required to go inside (beyond the front door or loading dock) to pickup or deliver a load instead of remaining on the dock or in his truck, additional fees may be applied. When the shipping or receiving address does not have a loading dock, manual loading or unloading is necessary. A liftgate is a platform at the back of the truck that can raise and lower a shipment from the ground to the truck. Additional fees apply for this service.
Yes, fees do apply for residential services and vary from carrier to carrier. When requesting a rate, please notify the World Warehouse & Distribution contact that you will be requiring residential delivery service so that they can accurately quote you. Any carrier delivering to a residence that is not notified prior to delivery will charge your customer the delivery fee or bill it to World Warehouse & Distribution. This not only adds to your shipping cost but may also delay delivery time. Accessorial Fees Standard procedure for LTL shipping includes a truck driver to back up to a dock to be loaded and unloaded, and transporting those goods between the shipper and consignee. Any service above and beyond this may incur additional charges. These fees are called accessorial fees.
