Why is the shipping cost so much for Slate Quoit Boards?
Slate Quoit Boards are very heavy with each weighing approximately 60 lbs for a total package weight of 130 lbs. They are very fragile and to ship them you must trust the shipping carrier to handle them properly. We use several Freight carriers to ship the Slate Quoit Boards because they are strapped to a pallet and only moved on average one or 2 times in transit by a forklift or pallet jack. This is ideal because they are not being thrown around in boxes. We do not recommend having your slate quoit boards shipped via UPS Ground or Fed Ex Ground since they have a poor record of handling something this fragile. We can do this to save you a few bucks but you run a higher chance of having to deal with a claim of damaged goods.
