Otherwise the freight companies will charge you (or the company you ordered with)\u00a0 a \u201cliftgate fee\u201d which means they need to use their liftgate on the back of the truck to lower your items to ground level.<\/p>\n<p>You can always ask us about our freight shipping tiers.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you\u2019ve ordered any big shipments in the past or take pallets for delivery, you may have heard of the term \u201cfreight\u201d or a \u201cfreight shipment\u201d.
