and/or oversize orders are shipped via common carrier.

cartons from the back of the truck into your home or office. Keep in
mind that you may need more than one person to help you unload large
and/or heavy cartons or crates from the back of the truck. The trucking company
will usually call you on the phone to arrange for a delivery
appointment. When calling you, the trucking company itself might offer
you additional services to help you move items from the truck into your
house such as their inside delivery service or lift-gate option. You
would be responsible for paying the trucking company directly for any of
these additional services.
