What is LTL Shipping?
LTL shipping stands for Less-Than-Truckload. This means the order will be shipped out on a pallet with an LTL company. LTL companies are trucking companies such as Roadway, Fedex Frieght, R+L Carriers, Estes, Old Dominion, to name just a few. This type of shipping is much safer than Parcel Post Shipping as the entire order stays together and is handled very carefully. In Parcel Post shipping (UPS, FedEX, USPS) boxes have that chance to be tossed around or dropped, so it makes it very difficult to ship fragile items with any hope they will arrive in one piece. It wouldn’t do you (the customer) or us (the seller) any good to ship an item just to have it break on the way to your location. Someone would have to eat the cost of the merchandise or go through the hassle of dealing with the shipping company for reimbursement. A minimum cost for an LTL order is much higher than a UPS order. Any order can be sent UPS as long as the items don’t require LTL shipping. An LTL order should be $300-$5
